Independance Day!

The 4th of July was jam packed this year. Unfortunately, Jordan had to work (reoccurring theme here, huh?) We started the day at the park near our house, they have an adorable little parade. I don't think I had seen this parade since I was in it a very looong time ago. Our cul-de-sac made a float for the parade, we were George Washington and the cherry tree, the one little boy on our street was George Washington, and all the little girls were cherries, ah the good ol' days. Anyways, this parade brought back memories, and the kids really enjoyed it. Then the park opens up with food, games, jumpy things and entertainment on the stage. We stayed for a couple more hours and let Clara explore and wear herself out. The kids got a nap in the middle of the day, then we headed out to Auntie Alissa and Uncle Jon's for a BBQ. We had some delicious food and did a little more relaxing. Lastly we went to the field behind the high school to watch the fireworks. Everyone brings blankets and chairs and it was a great show this year. It's also fun to run into people you know in this small little community, and we always meet new people along the way. Our town has a lot to offer, and it's nice to just stay local and have so many activities to do!I have been lagging on the blog posts lately. For example, Coleton's 2 month post. I took the pictures, but never got it together. So...at his appointment he weighed 14 lbs 1 oz and was 26 inches long. He is a big dude! He is getting so fun, he coos and smiles all the time and giggles. He is a great baby and I finally have his napping and nighttime schedule under control, which feels great! Things are still very busy around here, some other things that don't seem to get done are dentist appointments and oil changes. Oh well, I guess another month and another thousand miles won't hurt things...hopefully :/
