My latest obsession. . .

I got my first  iPhone recently.

Yep! I am slow. The 5 is my first.

My first day with Siri had me a tad flustered. In response I had her address me as Princess Amy. Somehow that made it all better.

One of the more exciting parts about getting the phone was getting on Instagram. My other phone did not have the app. This is sooo up my ally. Cute pictures with a one sentence description? Wellllll, that just happens to be my specialty!  ;-)

Feel free to follow me!

My name is- sunshineonastick

A slice of Americana. . .

I love the 4th of July. It is such a happy, carefree holiday. No gifts, no traveling, no stress. Just good ol’ summer fun celebrating this country that I adore with family and friends.

 

Brent made one of out family favorites. Jalapenos filled with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. To DIE for.

The Grill Master…

The kids even love them!

In Texas, everything revolves around the pool due to the heat.

The boys were watching the Rangers game as they waited for the food to be done.

Savannah and Chloe taking a Doritos break.

 

Watching fireworks from the back of our truck.

Fireworks are Savannah’s favorite part.

You can imagine our surprise when we looked over in the middle of the fireworks and saw the girls weaving and making “gods eyes”. Huh?

The fireworks went on for a good while.

Afterwards we went home and let the kids play with Sparklers.

 

The perfect end to a happy day!

Wordless Wednesday. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better late than never…right? :)

The Grand Opening. . .

Time to celebrate. . .

. . .celebrate the good ol’ US of A that is. The land of the free, home of the brave. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I know I am not the only one to dress my kids up like coordinating “Old Glory’s”, right?

Nonetheless, they look precious to their doting mama.

We spent this day of celebration with our friends the Walden’s. Yes, those same ones that reside in Walleyworld.

Awww…look at the two Russian princesses.

Kinda takes me back to 2009…

What BIG girls!

Well….compared to the old days. Walleyworld ALWAYS has yummy food!

 

 

However this time was different. THIS time we decided to venture out on the lake. Here are the kiddos. Happy as clams!

And the big kids….

Kellie and I holding down the fort while the men “floated”.

Or so we thought. Lol!

Good times!

These 2 are 2 peas in a pod. So much alike.

Parker…the middle Walden child.

Avery Grace…also in the middle.

Jackson. The oldest of all.

Nana…another middle child.

Connor…the oldest of his clan.

  Inner tubing.

The babies ready to rock and roll!

Sunset on the lake.

My better half looking as hunky as always!

Our wonderful boat hosts’…Kellie and Vince.

The girls waiting for the fireworks to start.

What a wonderful day.

God Bless America, land that I love.
