A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Branson with Brandon's mom. It was our first time to Branson, and we had a lot of fun. Our first stop was the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum.
I knew I was short, but this is embarrassing!
Sexy!!
We also got to see the Dixie Stampede, but no pictures were allowed inside. This is everyone leaving the arena through the horse corral.
On the way home we enjoyed this beautiful double rainbow...this picture doesn't do it justice, it was gorgeous!
we celebrated the 4th of july in kansas city with brandon's family this year. it was very bittersweet enjoying the company, but without brandon there to celebrate with us. i'm very proud of him.
enjoying the sun in grandma and grandpa's pool is always a recipe for a good time
grant got to appear in liberty's 4th of july parade and he did such a great job!

we did fireworks on the night of the 3rd. jackson hated the sound but loved the light so he watched safely from behind the living room window!
