4th of July!

Since the 4th fell on a weekday this year we decided to stay in town instead of driving up to Idaho Falls because Nathan had to work the next morning. I was bummed that we wouldn’t be spending it with my family but we ended up having a fun weekend anyway! On Saturday we went to check out the 4th of July furniture sales and ended up with new couches… that’s the problem with “looking!” It was time to replace the old ones because Conner wasn’t too gentle with them. So this time around we went with leather … it is much easier to clean up after a leaky sippy cup! On Sunday our neighbors invited us over to celebrate their little boy’s birthday. He is Conner’s age and they are little buddies. They were also nice enough to invite us over for a BBQ on Monday. After we ate some yummy food we headed over to the fireworks together. I was curious to see if the fireworks would scare Jayden but he just stared with a surprised look on his face.Conner watched for a little while and then was more interested in throwing his pop-its and watching what everyone else was doing. Afterwards we lit off a few fireworks at our house and then we finally got the kids to bed... way past their bedtime!

Since we didn’t come up for the 4th my Mom and sisters decided to come to Twin Falls the day after for a visit. We let the kids play in the sprinklers. Well Conner did while Kynzee ran away from the water.

We walked to the park... I think that we had as much fun as the kids did!
Then we reinacted 4th of July with another firework show... the sparklers were a big hit!

We love it every time family comes to visit... Conner especially loves the attention!
