Our Firecracker

Who needs fireworks when you have an 8 month old little boy?
How in the world did the 4th of July already come…and go? It’s the middle of summer! And summer sure is moving quickly, don’t you think?
As of July 2nd, we did not have plans for the 4th. Mom decided she & Eric were going to come down for the weekend…but we hadn’t made any plans to do anything. So, being the “planners & hosts” that we are..we put together a BBQ/party. We had a few people over and ended up with 5 babies crawling around in the livingroom, splashing in the little pool..and we couldn’t escape the afternoon without a kid accident (even a little blood shed..but all is ok).
Nicholas started out the day READY to party! Ha ha. He proudly raises his arms to show his 4th of July outfit. Proud to be an American – no doubt about that! (See – 4th of July Album for all the pictures)
Julia and Nicholas had fun splashing around in the little pool outside. At least it cooled them off (and entertained them for 10 minutes or so). This was before the blood shed (a toy fell on Julia and her tooth cut her lip).
Meanwhile, Kevin makes this “parenting thing” look easy!
And you all wonder why my son has so much energy. Well, the secret it out…
Here are a couple other pics from our holiday weekend:
And finally…how can you not LAUGH out LOUD at this picture? Nicholas now owns his very own sunglasses…but, he won’t keep them on, so he had to be pinned down to get this picture. Every time I see this picture, I crack up!

Baby Nicholas has such gorgeous eyes! He is certainly getting big. I remember seeing him just before I left. He is going to grow up to be a heartbreaker!
You chopped your hair! Looks super cute!
Big Hugs to the fam!
