July the Fourth

Happy Belated Independence Day!


Here's how we celebrated!

Ward breakfast and bike parade...

Bike Parade around the church...

Janelle at the starting line.
Check out her patriotic bike helmet. :)

I didn't get a picture of Spencer at the starting line because he and Kyle were nowhere to be seen. Come to find out, the second the primary president shouted, "Go!" I see Spencer rounding the corner. He'd already made a lap around the church!

And Spencer kept going...and going...and going...
Finally after his 4th or 5th lap I asked him if he wanted to take off his helmet and get a drink of water, to which he responded, "No, I want speed!!!" And he was off again. I'm pretty sure he went around the church the most times of all the kids.

Spencer's protesting in this picture, "Janelle, get off!!"

Onto the downtown parade with our friends...

Makin' some silly faces.

Cooling down at Grandpa's pool after one HOT morning...

Swinging while waiting for Daddy to set up the sparklers.

Kyle conjuring up some illegalness.

And onto the city fireworks...

Having way too much playing with my camera and those little glow bracelets...hey, even Mommy's gotta stay entertained while waiting for fireworks!

Snack break.

My reaction to Kyle trying to take a belly shot of me.

Okay, fine...here's a real one.
Me in all my 25-week, hot preggo glory.
Finally, the fireworks started!

Cool pictures of the glow bracelets! I like the picture of Spencer giving Janelle a ride on his trike. Avary likes to hitch rides on the back of Sam's trike too.
