4th of JULY

THE FOURTH OF JULY IS SUCH A FUN HOLIDAY... THERE ARE PARADES, BARBEQUES, SWIMMING, AND OF COURSE FIREWORKS! WE DECIDED TO DO SOME FIRE WORKS AT HOME (SAFE ONES OF COURSE), GO SWIMMING AT
MY MOM AND DAD'S HOUSE, AND THEN HEAD OFF TO THE FIREWORKS SHOW AT THE U OF R STADIUM. WE DID MANAGE TO GET BOTH KIDS TO TAKE A NAP. THIS WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE DID NOT GET HOME FROM THE FIREWORKS UNTIL AFTER TEN.

FOR SOME REASON MY PICTURES ARE SHOWING UP FROM THE END OF THE NIGHT TO THE BEGINNING. HMMM, LETS JUST SAY I AM STILL FIGURING THIS BLOGGING THING OUT. OH YEAH, IF ANY OF YOU READING THIS KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE FONT, WHILE BLOGGING, PLEASEEEEE LET ME IN ON THE SECRET. I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO CHANGE IT. SO FORGIVE ME FOR THE SMALL TYPING, I WILL TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT SOON




I JUST LOVE THIS PICTURE, AND THE PEOPLE IN IT!!!


THEY DID NOT LIKE HOW NOISY THE SHOW WAS!


I BOUGHT US ALL MATCHING SHIRTS. I THINK I MIGHT DO THIS MORE OFTEN, :-)






MY TWO BEST GIRL FRIENDS.

PAINTING

WE GOT A NEW PAINTING SET TODAY, AND HAD TO TRY IT OUT THE SECOND WE GOT HOME. WE PAINTED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT, EVEN I GOT PAINTED ON. IT ALL STARTED SO INNOCENTLY WITH A LITTLE PAINT ON THEIR HANDS. IT THEN MOVED ON TO THEIR FEET, AND CONTINUED FROM THERE. THEY HAD A BLAST! CLEAN UP WAS EVEN FUN. BOTH B & N LOVE PLAYING IN THE WATER, SO WE JUST MAD IT A GAME.
I LOVE THE SUMMER, IT IS SO FUN BEING OUTDOORS. ESPECIALLY WITH MY TWO WONDERFUL KIDDOS

DISNEYLAND

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF THE DAY.













WE WENT TO DISNEYLAND FOR NATHAN'S 5TH BIRTHDAY. CAN YOU BELIEVE HE IS FIVE. TIME SURE FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN... WE HAD BREAKFAST WITH THE CHARACTERS. NATHAN WAS SCARED AT FIRST AND THEN WARMED UP. BROOKE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. SHE REALLY LIKED MINNIE MOUSE. GRANDMA EVEN GOT IN ON THE ACTION


AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE LAST FEW PICTURES We WERE ALL TIRED BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT SONG? WHEN I SING IT IN MY HEAD, NOT OUT LOUD, I AM NOT THE BEST SINGER, LOL. WHAT INSTANTLY POPS INTO MY MIND ARE MY CHILDREN AND MY HUSBAND. I LOVE THEM MORE THAN ANY THING, AND THEY ARE DEFIANTLY MY THREE "FAVORITE THINGS"!
