*~*~*JuLy FoUrTh!!!*~*~*

Ok seriously the 4th of July is my favorite holiday next to Christmas. The kids have SO much fun, the vibe is awesome, and who doesn't love sunburns?! I was the only one that got sunburned... so that is a plus :P
This year was awesome. It is so fun watching Weston as he gets older and more into this stuff, and it is fun doing it all with Colton for the first time. They both loved the day and were beyond exhausted when it was finally over.
We started off at the parade. It is so fun for the little kids, and I kind of love it too :) There was much sunscreen needed, but it was perfect.

Sadly this is the best family picture that we got

It kills me that he's old enough to just sit in his chair and chill

And this kid is so huge I just can't even believe it

Weston LOVED the parade. Clapping, waving, getting candy... yeah. It's his thing.

Colton passed out without making a peep. Talk about over stimulation 

After the parade we headed to my parents house for the day. We played in the pool (hence my sunburn), did some archery, and of course, fireworks!

He's been teething... for the last 3 months :/

Again passed out without any issue, it was kind of awesome :)

My man working his archery skills :)

Seriously trying to get these two to do pictures together is ridiculous!!!

Weston was obsessed with the fireworks. He loved the sparklers, and Rob seriously bought him a huge box of pop its that he went through within like 2 hours.

Colton loved watching the bright lights

Overall, it was an amazing day. I think the only thing that could have made it better was if it was 10 degrees colder, but other than that, perfect! I already can't wait until next year to do it with a 3 and 1 year old!

Camping

Oh the procrastination. Go figure working, doing school, and being a mom to TWO boys is keeping me a bit busy. :)
So for Memorial Day we decided to go camping with the family. It was really both of our boys first time going camping so we weren't sure what to expect.. but it went amazing! Everyone had so much fun and ever since Weston has asked almost every day if we can go camping again.

Grandpa set up the hammock, and both the boys LOVED it

A frog that Rob caught for Weston

Seriously Rob caught like 20 of these little guys. Didn't keep any, but he had a blast catching and releasing

It rained a lot of the time, but it was actually like nice, and Westu loved playing in the puddles

Rob and I saw a moose everyday we were there. This one walked right paste us as we were fishing

This is Westu's morning face :)

Colton absolutely loved it. But I'm pretty sure it was because he was never sat down. :)

I fell in the river. Definitely don't need to talk about, but I was stupid and fell in... and ruined my hubby's nice new hiking boots... yeah...

Our Tent :)

This moose basically wandered into our camp the last morning we were there.

Once we all got home and got clean, we were all pretty tired. Colton actually fell asleep like that.

And the rest of the boys quickly followed suit :)

And then just a quick catch up on some other cute pictures that need to be on the blog.

Colton was very helpful as we got ready for camping :)

naptime at church

This chunk loves sitting up by himself

Getting ready for the almost daily walk and bike ride

Weston playing in Neena and Gopga's pool as they are filling it up

This chubba bubba still doesn't sleep through the night... it's a good thing he's cute!

Weston did the Fun Run this year. The age group for him was 0-4 and he got 4th place! We were pretty impressed :)

These two make getting ready a very slow, and fun process everyday.

Sighting in my new hunting rifle... first shot :)

Colton lasted all of 7 minutes before he was passed out, but he loved it :)
