4th of July

We started our day off by going to the Dorr parade with Knolls and Harkemas. It was a perfect weather for a parade. We sat at the very beginning of it so we got enough candy for a 2 year old. PJ actually ran out there and got it. He was not a fan of loud noises but they didn't seem to bother Joe. Joe just sat on the side lines and ate his first sucker. At night we went over to Harkemas and hung out for a while. It has been a long time since we got to hang out like that. It was great having the kids play and us adults just hanging out. The boys got to do some fireworks. Carson and PJ did their first sparklers. Good times had by all.

I would think that a fire truck was going by at this point in time

Oh to be a kid

I am starting to learn more and more that my boys are quit different.  PJ does not like to be cold, wet, or dirty.  Where as you can see from these pictures that Joe just doesn't care.  I have a feeling that PJ is going to be standing behind Joe and letting Joe do everything first.  It is so fun to watch their personalities come out.

Looks who's walking!

It has been so fun watching Joe learn to walk.  He gets so excited.  In the video from outside, it looks worse that what it actually was.  He is about 50/50 between walking and crawling, but he really just started walking like this about 3 days ago.  I am so ready for him to walk all the time.  

Mmmm Good Breakfast Mom!

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you really don't care what you child eats for breakfast?  Well I did this morning and let PJ have chocolate donuts and M&M's.  It sure makes you the best mom for the day.
