Fourth of July Weekend!











We all had a wonderful weekend. Saturday night we went to the Powell Gardens fireworks show and it was absolutely positevely the largest fireworks I have ever seen. We were all impressed at how big there were and colorful and right after one another. Not sure how I forgot the camera but I did. We got there at 7:30 and the fireworks didn't start until a little after 9:00. So, we listened to the Lee's Summit Symphony, I took the kids to see all the instruments and had some homemade ice cream. Sunday I took the kids down to my parents, they rode horses, shot off more fireworks and played with their cousin, and aunt and uncles.
Tyler turned two on June 21st and he was adorable. He is really saying a lot and growing like a weed. I told my sister today that I think he is ready for 3-T clothes. We all had a good laugh because when he blew out the candles he didn't want to get close to them, Chas had to lift him closer so he would burn them out. He just looked at us like, "you want me to get near the flame? aren't we suppose to stay away from hot stuff? I'm confused." It was like it was his birthday and we threw all the rules out the window. He didn't understand why it was okay to throw the wrapping paper on the floor. We had a good laugh. My camera ran out of batteries at my parents house and I don't have any pictures of them riding on a horse. Macy and Mark both rode by themselves and Tyler rode with me. When it was time to get off his hands were clenched around the reins. They had a great time and the horses did really well with the little ones.
