Happy 4th!!

Our family took another trip up to Logan this weekend to celebrate the 4th. Kyle's family has a tradition of having a barbecue on the 3rd to celebrate his grandma's birthday and go to the Logan fireworks afterward.

Ethan wasn't interested in the yummy food we all enjoyed, so his grandma Morrey gave him not one, but two ice cream cones!! He was in heaven. He had chocolate ice cream all over his face and soaked through his shirt got all over his chest. This picture doesn't do it justice, but it is the only one we were able to get.

This was Ethan's first time to see a fireworks show. He slept through them last year. At first he started to cry, but then he was just glued to the sky and nestled in Kyle's arms. He didn't move and he was completely limp during the whole show. It was as if he was asleep, but his eyes were open. We hadn't ever seen him like this. When we were leaving, however, he acted like he wanted to go back to where we were sitting for more. The next day he pointed to the sky and jabbered to his grandma as if he was telling her all about it.


This week our baby girl is the size of a spaghetti squash (approx. 11 in and just under 1 lb):

Wow, what a chocolatey kid, I am sure he enjoyed those ice cream cones. It was fun having you guys up again and visiting with you.

Love that picture of your chocolate boy! It's amazing how much they are able to drip and ooze all over their clothes. I still do the same thing, so....... Ethan and I have something in common. :)

How fun! I wish we could have made it to the fireworks... Nolan still hasn't seen any, just sparklers last night. I can't believe your baby girl is getting so big. You'd never guess by looking at you! Glad you were able to make it to aerobics again.

The Logan fireworks are the best!! Did they do some of the cool heart and smiley-faced shaped ones this year? We had to settle for the local show here in Muncie, but it was still really fun.
