Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday we had a relaxing day celebrating the 4th of July at Papa and Nana's house. Brian set off some fireworks and the kids loved them! The boys had fun riding in the canoe and catching seven frogs. They also enjoyed riding around on their scooter and tricycle. After dinner we finished off the evening with a campfire. Greta liked watching the fire too!

It was a great day!

The fireworks looked a bit more exciting in person. :)

Eli was pretty excited about the fireworks

Nana went on the scooter too.

Asa was thrilled Papa and Nana had Cheetos!

Happy 4th of July!

Greta's first 4th of July

We think Greta is working on her bottom teeth because she has been making this funny face.

The boys love fires!

We finally got Eli to wear a life jacket in the canoe. Brian told him is was a bullet proof vest. He likes it now!

It was a beautiful day!

Beginning of July

Last Thursday was a busy day for us. We had new carpet installed throughout our house. Brian needed to stay back home to work and man the house as the carpet was being installed. Nana came with the kids and I to the Children's Museum while it was being installed. We had a fun time and the kids did well.

Asa insisted on having Tiggy strapped into his carseat with him. So cute!

Greta even go to get done and explore

We will have to get more pictures later, here is a quick picture of our new carpet! It is so clean!

On Saturday, my neighbor Ann, invited the kids and I over and she gave us lots of toys and puzzles her older kids had outgrown. The boys have enjoyed playing with them!

Auntie Karen came over that evening to help me give all of the kids baths while Brian was photographing a wedding. It was so great to have her over!

Greta is 7 Months Old!

Our sweet Greta is 7 months old! She is a happy baby. She is on the petite side, just like I was as a baby. Greta is so close to crawling! She can move her body in a complete 360 circle. She is pivoting all over the place and so badly wants to crawl. She already wants to keep up with her brothers. Greta is eating many different vegetables and fruits. Her favorites so far are squash, avocados, and applesauce. Many people tell us that her smile is like a ray of sunshine. She brings us joy!

Love her!
