The Third

So much has happened over the long weekend. Nothing life changing or great, just a busy four day holiday weekend. Not so much busy as filled with events and happenings, just life in general at least things that make life enjoyable. I've had several ideas for blog post but just haven't taken the time to get online to post.

On July 3rd Eaglehood has a fireworks show. We have been attending this fireworks display just about every year for the last four or five years, basically since we have been married. We go with my sisters and their families, occasionally my parents will tag along, they didn't make it this year, dad had to work and mom was making money for lynzi's drill team expenses at the REAL game.

We tried to met at my house before hand and order pizza to eat. I'm not sure where the time goes but next thing I know it's 7:00, no sisters around, the kids are starving and their pop too, we are trying to get everything together, just to go and watch fireworks. We ended up going to Arby's, getting take out, the kids never eat half of their food and we throw most of theirs away. By the way Arby's has the worst toys but the kids love them, I think kids love whatever you call a toy and give to them. We made it just fine, Marcee got there just before us and found a nice little place, close to the sand pits for us.



They had some sky divers land on the golf course, no one told Cody to look up, he must have noticed everyone else looking up. One of the sky divers came in from behind us and about ten feet above our heads, Cody got pretty scared, must have thought that the sky diver was going to land on him. Hate it when I miss great shots like that.

Remember the good 'ol days when it took like five minutes to get ready for something like this? And then you could sit and enjoy it with someone? Ok, I enjoy it now with the kids, cody's look on his face watching the fireworks was great. He got excited, and was pointing and ooing and awing. One of my favorite memories growing up was watching fireworks with my dad and laying on him. Shortly after this picture bryten came and laid on me, makes it all worth it.



Jonas didn't get to see the fireworks. He spent the night under blankets. It was windy and he hated every minute of it. We placed him in his car seat with blankets over him to keep the wind off of him and he was fine just like that. We don't know if he was crying or not, under the blankets and with the fireworks going we really couldn't hear him.



Bryten got a set of stick on earrings, her ears aren't pierced so T gets these for her every so often. She had to wear them to the park and when Cody saw that bryten was getting something you bet your right arm that he's going to want it to.
