Grandma Jadwin Part 2

 Grandma had other intentions for her hair, but this is what it looked like with a water bottle in her hair...

Getting Ryder to so smile!!

I got a groupon for this jumping house place. They had a lot of fun getting all hot and sweaty!

Ryder's blessing

Grandmas! And please note that Ryder is smiling!

Ryder Jadwin Smith was blessed July 5th here in Winston-Salem. It was our first time blessing one of our kids at church. Addilyn was blessed at Grandma/pa Smith's house and Levi at the Western's. In addition to the boys in our family who helped with the blessing, we also had our friend Brett Pettit.

Ryder was blessed in the same outfit that Scott was blessed in, all of his uncles, all of his boy cousins, and his brother Levi too.

July 4th weekend

Wow. That weekend was a blurrrr. Thursday the Western's drove in and Friday Scott's mom, dad, and youngest brother flew in. Here is the weekend in pictures (not in exact order because the upload was funky):

Passed out after a long day of flying, driving, and swimming!

Bolton pool

While the family was here, we went to two different pools. The photos are not in order as to which pool was first and last. We went to Tanglewood pool which has the lazy river and water slides. Shirley was crazy and went down at 37 weeks pregnant... The other pool we went to was on the 4th at Bolton Pool.

Our dinner was sweet potato taco salad. There was a lot of food and it was delish!

Aunt Shirley!

 Like I said, this pictures are totally out of order. This is from our dinner on 4th of July. We had smoked salmon, broccli salad, veggie pizza, watermelon, corn on the cob...it was soooo good. And there are pictures of the parade we went to in between the food pics. 

At the parade with the cousins!

"If you wave, they'll give you candy!"

 All we did were smoke bombs, sparklers, and poppers. It was plenty! They all loved the sparklers! The only accident was Levi grabbing the burned sparkler with his finger. It blistered!
