4th of July and More

Here's lots of pictures, random ones, and our 4th of July celebration with Justins family.

First I think that Jalyn must be going thru a growth spurt...as you'll see I find him sleeping all the time...and if you know our family you know our boys have never slept, so its strange, I wondered if he was sick the first few times I found him knocked out.

One of the rare times that I've caught them sharing something, not fighting, and being quiet all at the same time! They were so cute I let them sleep downstairs that night.

This is how I found them when I came downstairs the next morning. So sweet...I'm sure it didn't last long once Jon Michael woke up.

Jalyn didn't even make it to the pool b/f he feel asleep.

We found these fun jousting horses at Target, the boys have had so much fun with them.

This is the front of Jalyns birthday invite. Its super hard to find motorcycle stuff for a little boys birthday party!

The boys going at it with the jousting.

This is a string of pictures of Jalyn sleeping and Samson not wanting to move no matter how Jalyn changed position.

So cute, but needs a haircut so bad.

I can't believe he didn't move, he was so squished!

He kept looking up at me like he was miserable but he wasn't gonna move.

This was another day, I told you he must be growing, I catch him asleep all the time.

The boys have wanted to start getting an allowance so they have to help me out more around the house. Jalyn thought was fun the first time but not so much now.

The boys were impressed with their domino building skills.

The girls, Anika and Ariana, brought me some flowers in cute little glass jars!

Milli with Uncle Jonathan.

I was trying to get a picture of us together but the flash was so bright I kept closing my eyes. She wasn't to fond of the fireworks.

Sparkler time.

Most of our neighbors have little kids so quite a few were out doing fireworks at the same time, it was fun for all the kids.

Trying to get a picture with me in it, I settled for this one.

Jon Michael and Anika were allowed to light their own fireworks.

After fireworks we all went swimming. It was fun being up late after fireworks and then relaxing in the pool.

Milliana riding the horsie.

Snack time!

Midnight snack, literally, we didn't come in from swimming until around midnight.

Jon Michael was teaching Milli to blow bubbles in the pool.

Monday the guys had a meeting at the bakery so Ana and I got to hang out with the kids. We went to the outlet, then to yummy mexican rest. for lunch, and then home for swimming. Apparently Ana and I need to learn to reapply sunscreen, we both got burned even though we had put it on. It wasn't to bad but enough to be annoying.

Having fun splashing her feet.

More snack time! Even Milli had a granola bar.

Tuesday we went to Mardel and Half Price books. The boys found Spy Kids 3D so we came home and the kids all watched the movie. Aren't they cute in their glasses?

Gotta have popcorn with the movie!

This is how I found Jalyn after Ana and the girls left on Tuesday....told you he's been sleeping a lot!

Aunt Ana had bought Jon Michael the last of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid books to complete his set. He had read it by the end of the day.

It was a great holiday, I think we're gonna start a tradition of fireworks, late night swimming, and midnight snack.
