The Wait

Grandma and Grandpa invited Colby over for a sleepover. He was MORE than excited! I think the pictures below tell you enough. He waited out on the lawn for who knows how long, with stuff in tow, for them to pick him up.I love his excitement for life! Oh to be a kid again!

When It Gets Too Hot Outside.....

We build forts inside!

Comfortable....really???

Every once in a while when I go to check on Joshie when he is napping, this is how I find him: He is sitting up then just falls forward to sleep. How can that be comfortable?? Babies and their limber bodies. How come we can't stay that way as we get older!

4th Oh July!

4th of July has become one of my favorite holidays! We had fun at the Freedom Festival, starting off with the hot air balloons at 6:30 in the a.m. It was so early, but so cool!

We then hit the parade! Here are the boys with their cousins, Landon and Brady, on the walk to our "spot".

Josh just being cute as usual!

Colby and Brady had it figured out! They put their chairs in the wagon. Genius! Oh, and notice to Brady's right.....their is my mother-in-law in her awesome newspaper hat to keep the sun out. Again.....genius! Must run in the C* genes!

Nate plugging Joshie's ears when the loud sirens went by. And Grandpa and Landon, too!

Joshie finally just couldn't take the excitement anymore and crashed on Nate's chest.....awwww, precious! Again notice my mother-in-laws awesome hat.....so cool!

We then headed over to Nate's parents for a BBQ and Nate's cousin built the coolest rocket launcher. So all the kids made their own rockets and then we sent them flying! Here is Nate helping Colby with his.

Here is everyone looking up at the rocket!



Nate and his boy, Carson with a crooked smile that appeared in just about every picture that night. What? Where did that come from?!

The cousins hanging out in the back of Preston's truck! Hope you don't mind, Preston! I think they only made a couple dings on it.....just kidding! :-)

It was a great day, full of fun activities, yummy food, and great family. Hope you all had an equally wonderful 4th! God bless America!
