We celebrated the 4th of July at my parents with homemade ice cream and usually home made chocolate chip cookies but this year we settled for Oreo's with our ice cream! Madi absolutely love it! We thought she would be a little scared by the whistling of the fireworks and stuff but she wasn't! Which was a huge relief to us!
It actually got a little cold so pretty much all of us had to put on hoodies to stay warm! Kai and Madi loved sitting in this stroller watching the fireworks! Madi started getting mad at me cause I was trying to take pictures of them and standing right in the way of the "FIRE" lol!
She absolutely loved the sparklers! Yes I held onto her hand the whole time so she wouldn't get hurt. I think it was mesmerizing to her! By this time though she was so exhausted! But she was such a good girl the whole time! Weston went to bed before all the fun began he loves his sleep that's for sure!!
My good friend Robyn came in town to hang out and to see me and my family for a few days and while she was here we went to the Second Hand Serenade concert! It was so fun! She kept making fun of me cause I was taking lots of pictures of everything! But hey its not everyday I get to go to a concert and I wanted to bring pictures back and show Brett cause I left him home with the kids that night!
We went to the concert with Robby and Nick! Yup those are my handsome single brothers! Nick came back taller then when he left not by much tho but still taller!
So I'm not sure if Madi is going to shank him or show him this but he is not taking his eyes off it! That is her "turner" tool from Handy Manny and her and Weston fight over the tools all the time!
This is Chase and Weston again. I'm not sure what these two were doing but they kept putting their heads together and pushing against each other! It was pretty funny tho!
You can't see it very well but he has one bottom tooth in this picture! And shortly after this he got his 2nd one in! He is army crawling everywhere and just this week he decided stairs were fun to climb!!! Seriously kid stop getting so big! He will be 9 months this week! He is starting to try to pull himself up to a standing position on me and Brett but he has not figured out how to pull himself on the couch tho. He likes to crawl up and over Brett and I am actually sometimes Madi! Its so funny now if Madi has food and is sitting on the ground he will crawl to her as fast as possible never taking his eyes off her food climb on her and put his mouth on her food and try to eat it! I swear we feed this kid! She loves to feed him now tho so we give her treats to feed him and he absolutely loves it to!! They are starting to interact a little more each week. If he is in his walker he will follow her everywhere and she will walk or run in front of him and say "fowwow me bruder fowwow me"! He new favorite game tho is when we hold him and say get her Weston get her and run after her! She and he both giggle so hard! Then we tackle her with him and they laugh even harder! So now she will go over to Brett or me and say "brudder get her brudder get her"!!! It is so funny! She is a little mommy and bosses both boys around. Poor Brett and Weston are now number 3 and 4 in the head of the household game! lol!! Some days it is questionable who is number 1 and 2!! Madison will now tell me no......... ya I'm done with that one! I will tell her no Madison you cannot have that and she will yell "NO MOMMY NOOO!!!!" Its exciting let me tell you! I'm excited in about 2 weeks some of Brett's family will be coming out here and we are going to party!!! Now we have a ton of stuff to do though! Wish me luck! Brett and I just got callings in our ward he is the Assistant ward Clerk / assistant executive secretary and I am in the Relief Society meeting comity! He is going to be very very busy once school starts and thankfully my calling will only be a couple times a month. I'm not looking forward to Brett going back to school I know I am going to miss him so much! This time is going to be a lot longer then it was before.... Oh well I know in the end it will be worth it. Hopefully I'll try to post more pictures when I take more I am such a slacker. Plus my computer is in the basement and it is unfinished so I don't like to bring the kids down here cause it is kinda cold and there is no carpet just cement!!!
