Independence Day

We had a full, fun holiday weekend.

Friday we BBQ'd at Brittany's house:

Kaylee with Grandma and Grandpa Reese

Kaden LOVES watermelon!

Kaylee and Rachel

The kids took over ladder golf from the grownups


Jaron and Kaylee hung out on the blanket for awhile

Kaden loved having friends to play with


We celebrated Jaron's dad's and Ashley's birthdays

We did fireworks at Grandma and Grandpa Reese's house. Kaden was NOT a fan. He got out of the van and heard people throwing snaps, and freaked out. All day he was so excited about fireworks, but once he heard them, he didn't want to be there. He stayed in the stroller with his ears covered most of the time. We were able to see the stadium fireworks from there, and Kaden was MUCH more excited about those because they weren't loud.

Saturday morning we went to the parade in Hyrum. Again, Kaden wasn't a fan of people throwing snaps! I think he hated that more than he hated the fire trucks. At least the people in the fire trucks were throwing candy. But if someone didn't throw candy, Kaden would point it out every time.

One of the fire trucks squirted us and Kaden didn't want to be wet. So, the next time someone was spraying water, Grandpa Dan gave Kaden his hat to cover up with.

After the parade, we had lunch at Jaron's Aunt Jean's, then we all went home and crashed. I think Kaylee's face sums up how we felt at the end of the day.

Isn't her dress cute? It says "Miss Independent" on that little blue rectangle.

Other stuff we've been up to:

• Saw Wolverine....mmmmm, it was awesome!
• Jaron had a birthday
• Kaylee is now 12 lbs and fits size 2 diapers. She's not even 2 months old!
• I'm back at work
• Kaden can get his shirt off and on by himself, but still refuses to get dressed by himself
• We blessed Kaylee on Sunday. Those pictures will be coming tonight!
