4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

We had such a GREAT time on the 4th of July! To start the day off, Lucas and Ben spent the morning having some much needed guy time. I swear, there is nothing more beautiful than watching your husband and son playing together!

After Luke's morning nap, we headed over to Sam and Olivia's house for their annual party. They had a ton of delicious food and there were a bunch of children around for Lucas to look at (he's not that sure about it when they are running around and screaming), but he does love watching them. After some yummy food, Lucas began getting very tired and ready for his nap. Sam's mom Linda, offered to watch the babies while the adults went to the pool. Olivia and Lucas were perfect for her and slept for over an hour and then woke up and played together until the adults came back.
We attempted to feed some formula to Lucas, but he was not having it! I am so nervous about how Lucas is going to handle weaning to regular milk. Instead of formula, he ate a hearty feast of more bbq and macaroni.


Later that afternoon, we wrapped up the fun at the Kendig's and headed home to let the doggies out. After a quick trip home to change and recharge, we went back out to Shawn and Dylan's house. They live right on the golf course where they shoot off the fireworks, so all we have to do is get some chairs and a few blankets and enjoy (no traffic!). Grandma and Pop-Pop even came over to enjoy the fireworks.

Since this was Lucas' first firework show, we were all a little nervous about how he would react to the loud noises. However, I should have known better, because Lucas was perfect and had such a great time! I'm not sure he would have been that good if little Aidan had not been there. Aidan is Shawn's nephew that used every ooh-and-ahh appropriately and every adjective a four year old could use to describe each firework. Lucas was amazed by him and clapped right along with him..



















After such a wonderful fun-filled day, we were all exhausted and ready to head home. Lucas crashed out almost the minute we put him in the carseat. I love the summer!
