4th of July Weekend

 We had an enjoyable Independence Day weekend. Saturday after we did a good amount of yard work and after prepping for Joseph's blessing we joined my parents for a delicious BBQ. Aaron would be proud to say that he cooked the meat :)  It was a very warm day and Joseph loved being outside in nothing accept his diaper. He was exactly one month old that day so I made sure to snap some pictures of him.

Later that evening around 8:30 we drove to a nearby park to get a spot to watch the firework show. We had a few hours to wait until the fireworks started so the guys enjoyed throwing a football, playing on the park with the kids and Steph helped make the kids some cute friendship bracelets.
My grandma was also there with us and enjoyed cuddles with Joseph.
The firework show was incredible, Riverton City did a great job!

A funny note: For a couple weeks every time I would meet up with my mom we were wearing the exact same colors. It started to get a little strange as it was not planned at all. Kinda funny really, I guess great minds think alike ;)
 

Monday - the 4th - we had a relaxing morning eating a yummy breakfast and playing the wii with the kids. That afternoon we joined my parents on the boat. It was Joseph's first time on the boat and it couldn't have gone any better. It was overcast most the day and not too hot. There was food, swimming, tubing, laughter and fishing.
We left the lake around 5:00 with Scott and Shaylee and all came back to our house. The boys played a bit of pool and then had a tennis match outside. After my parents got the boat off the lake they also joined us at home and we had a nice evening together eating pizza, watching Star Wars and enjoying the nice evening weather outside.
