Fourth of July

We had a great weekend with family for the Fourth of July. My mom came to our house on Tuesday and just left yesterday. We had so much fun shopping, and eating yummy new recipes. We were so busy it seems like. On Thursday night, my dad flew into town and then on Friday, Wade's brother came for the 4th. My sister-in-law and baby neice were in Montana with Jaren's mom visiting some family there for the holiday. We ate great barbeque, Wade and Greg played some basketball, I shopped with mom, and we watched some fireworks.Greg and Wade
my mom and dad on the fourth!

On Saturday, my brother and sister-in-law and nephew came to town so we could all get together and also celebrate Kyan's 1st birthday. Here he is with his cake and candle - he weighs 27 lbs and is a tank!! He is huge and it just made us laugh all weekend...he is also an exact replica of my brother!


Kyan opening some presents.



Kyan opening his Leapfrog ride-on toy. He liked pushing it around since he is just starting to take a few steps on his own.




Carson, Mimi, Callahan, Kyan, Uncle Matt, and me





Uncle Matt playing some music for the family on the guitar. Kyan and Callahan just sat right down in front and got a front row concert seat. They are just 8 months apart and it is so fun to watch them together. Kyan loves for his daddy to play the guitar.






Carson and Kyan - Carson really loved Kyan and also got really tickled with how big Kyan is!








Me with Kyan after church on Sunday...I couldn't stop squeezing his thighs all weekend!







Kyan, me, Wade, Cal, Andrea, Matt, and Carson...Carson would only take his picture like this! Thanks Uncle Matt for finding a creative way to get him in the picture taking mood! Whatever works right?

Mimi and Papa after church - look how thin she is..she should be the poster gal for Weight Watchers!

We had a great weekend and are resting up from all the fun. Time goes by so fast when we are with them and we wish it was longer! Hope you had a great fourth too.

Cute pictures. Can you email me one of Carson and Kyan? I didn't get any of those shots and they are sweet. We had a great time and miss you guys already.

Oh Boy! We had such fun! Boys, boys and more boys! Blogs and Boys make for happy grandparents! Hey I sure took great pics huh? Thanks to you and Wade for being such terrific hosts!
A great time was had by all!
Hey I like your new camera but when you turn on the red eye reduction could you also turn on the wrinkle reduction when you take my pic?
