Happy 4th Of July!

We are a few days late in getting this one up.  OOPS!  It's been busy around or it has seemed busy around!  

We started our 4th off at our small town parade.  They have a parade each year at 10am and the boys LOVE it!

We meet some friends there and thank goodness she remembered to bring bags for the candy because I sure didn't!  The boys had a great time watching the parade together! 

My sweet baby hated the waiting part!  

Of course while we waited I had to get a few pictures in there!  This one cracks me up every single time I look at it.  Larry took it and the sun was in the boys eyes.  It makes me giggle because even when the sun isn't in their eyes they do these faces to me - A LOT! 

Sara took a family picture of us as well! I love how it turned out!

The parade finally started!  We had a group of happy boys with bags full of candy! That candy will be accompanying Larry to work on Monday.  The boys don't care about eating it and the people in his office love it.  Win, Win!  Then I don't have to worry about eating it - which is really what the problem would be!  

 

During the parade I found my "other boy" as Cade calls him!  I couldn't resist a picture with him!

  It was too hot for us to head farther into downtown this year, plus I didn't want to fight all the crowds.  So we headed home for lunch and a movie. We saw Monster's University as family.  It was super cute but Colin got really antsy.  Maybe it was because we had just seen Despicable Me 2 the day before.  I am not really sure, eek!

Colin's favorite part of the movie is the popcorn and coke!  We finished off that big tub of popcorn by the end of the movie and that's just crazy!  

 After the movie we came home and had a quick dinner so we could head out to the fireworks.Our wagon always gets used on the 4th! 

I am not sure we ever use it any other time.  Crazy, I know! 

Colin enjoyed playing with Corwin this year at the fireworks.  Please know, Cade did too!  They loved being right by the water so they could fish and look for crabs.  It actually made me crazy nervous, but I survived.  

 

So I had the great idea that I needed to take a before and after of myself.  

This was the start of the day (plus let's be honest I wanted this picture so I could remember this outfit).

 And the end of the night!  Yes, it started raining right when the fireworks started.  It rained hard for a few minutes and then just sprinkled so we thought no big deal we will stick it out.  Then it poured and I was freezing!  Haha!

 Finally we made it back to the car and we were all SOAKED!!
