4th of July in Oklahoma

Here are some pics of our trip back to Oklahoma for the 4th of July. This picture of Brayden was taken on the drive from Texas. He was so happy in the car and never really fussed the entire time. He played with his toys and when he did get a little tired I sat back there and just talked to him. Payten watched two movies on the way to OK. She watched Fox and the Hound and The Wild. After watching a couple movies she decided she was tired and napped for a couple hours. She is also super amazing in the car and has always been the best traveler. I thought this was pretty cute. She likes to put the blanket over her head. Maybe to block the sun....don't know! While sitting in the back with Brayden I decided to take a picture of Matt driving. Isn't he cute?I sure think so!  :) To start the trip off we met my parents at Incredible Pizza. Payten  had so much fun. We ate lots of pizza and Payten played games with my dad. While I ate my food, mom held Brayden and he slept for an hour. I think she enjoyed the cuddle time! :) Payten and Papa went and rode the race cars. They one first place and Payten was really excited about it! The majority of our trip was spent at Grand Lake! We had such a great time. We got to watch an amazing fire works show and hang out with lots of fun people. And did I mention really good food. Mike and Jan cooked awesome steaks for everyone. And one night we had homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream. We got to go out on a huge boat and just hang out while Mike and Jan kept all the kiddos. That was really relaxing!!!!! Below are some pics of the trip. Brooke and Colin brought sparklers for the kids. Payten didn't know what to think about the fire she was holding. After a while she started waving it in the air. She thought the sparklers were pretty cool. Here are Payten and Daddy watching the amazing fireworks show. As you can see Payten really enjoyed herself!!! The finale lasted about 15 minutes...seriously. It was amazing. Little Brayden decided he didn't want to sleep and so I got him up and he watched the fireworks show too. He wasn't scared at all. The whole time he just stared at the sky. I think he was in awe of the fireworks.  Here are some pics of Brayden, Kennedi and Cole playing together. He loves to laugh at them. While I was busy getting ready I took some pics of them playing. I'm sure glad that Kennedi was there because he loves to laugh at her. He thinks she is pretty cute!  :) The morning of Payten's birthday we were at Mike and Jan's house. We woke up and went downstairs and Jan had fixed some caramel cinnamon rolls. We put some candles in one and sang her Happy Birthday. ) She loves for everyone to sing to her! haha After we left Mike and Jan's we headed to my grandparents house for another birthday celebration. We ate pizza and mom made her a cake. Mom made her a minnie mouse cake....we won't talk about what it looked like, but it sure was delicious! haha :) Hailey came over and Payten was super excited about hanging out with her. They had lots of fun together and Payten looks up to her so much. She loves her cousin Hailey.  "Bu Brad" came over and hung out for a little while. He got on the floor and played with her most of the time he was there. Payten loves playing with him. Bradley, you need to hurry up and get married so you can have kiddos.You are going to make the best dad one day!
