4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year.  We were invited to a couple different parties but were only able to attend one and it was so much fun.  We went to Jesse's work party.  So Jesse works in a team and its pretty small so we had it with them.  I think there were about 15 adults, 4 little kids and then a few 12 year olds.  It was so fun to get to know the people Jesse works with and their wives.  I am glad to have met them early so when the guys deploy I will know the wives and we can get together to do stuff.  The afternoon was perfect, the food was good and we just relaxed and had a good time.

Kade is ready to play ball.  Where is Uncle Mark?

So it looks like he is peeing on the tire right.  Well he's not I wish he was potty trained that would be awesome.

Hanging out in dad's lap with a stick of course.

This is what happens when someone doesn't get a nap.  He crashed and then quickly got back up to play.

Family picture.

Kade loving the fireworks. He would watch the guys light them then follow them up.

Getting a picture with 4 kids all within 2 months of each other is super hard.  I was surprised they all sat still but not one picture of them all looking at the camera.  The three other kids are children of Jesse's teammates.  It will be fun to hang out with them more they all got a long great.

Kade is the youngest but man he is a big boy.  Granted the twins were born early and only weighed 3lbs so they are still pretty small.

Kade was not super happy when the boys took his toy. 



So they had this super cool lantern thing that you light and the hot air takes it up.  Kind of like a hot air balloon. So when you light it and then let it go this is what happens....



It goes up up and away.  Hmmm kind of bad to let something on fire go.  Good thing its pretty damp and there was no report of a fire the next day.  It was really cool to watch it go up.

This guy loves to be outside.  He also loved to find the parachutes that came out of some of the fireworks.  He would carry them around everywhere.

Oh and check out his man capris.  They are size 18 months and they actually fit around the waist but where are my childs legs.  He is just now starting to fit into 12 months and they still sag.  Oh my poor child grow some legs.

Eating parts of fireworks are not so good.  We had a great 4th of July and had the most perfect weather.
