4th of July

So I'm a bit behind with my blogging. Nonetheless, I'm determined to catch up with summer blogging...even though it's November. I'd love to turn this blog into a book and want to have our summer fun be a part of it!

For 4th of July my brother and his lovely wife were kind enough to invite family over to their house...even though they had just had their baby girl days before...like 5 days before. Anyhoo, they cooked and everything for us. I brought over dessert.

Aaack! We need a new table or to sand and stain this one.
(It's been so long since I started this post that we actually did get a new table. Yay!)

We were at my brother's for a little while, then pretty suddenly our C man starting feeling sick and had a fever. Sadly, we left the festivities. C slept it off and was feeling okay within a few hours.

We missed out on doing fireworks, but did bring home some sparklers for L and P to enjoy.

L does this thing where he puts his hands in front of his face when he's unsure about something or embarrassed. It's so cute!



P wasn't too sure about things and stood back to watch.



In August we went back and finished our 4th of July celebration, specifically fireworks! C loved it! We had to really watch him. He tried to light a firework all by himself at one point! L enjoyed it somewhat, but was not a fan of the noise and eventually went inside to watch a movie. And P enjoyed watching and even held a sparkler.







Here are some other pictures of the boys loving on their cousin. They are so sweet with her!!!



And one of pretty Baby E...



She already looks so different and is just as cute as ever! (More pictures of her coming soon.)

Before the fireworks, the boys enjoyed running off their crazy boy energy outside.  





Love good times with family!!!
