4th of July

So behind on this blogging stuff, but trying to update before school gets back in...


I will have Krue's birthday pics and some other fun summer pics posted soon!


These pics are from the 4th of July. Every year since I can remember we have had a big celebration on the 3rd at my aunt Nancy's house. The festivities start off with a Parade around Staheli Hill. Then a picnic and and firework show. Then everyone sleeps on her front lawn and they tell scary stories all night. I have always loved this tradition and was so excited to have Krue doing it with me this year! We (or I) got really into it. I bought an aweome wagon and Starr and Jessica helped decorate it for Krue and Zhar to ride in. The parade was very succesful this year and it was fun to see krue watcth the fireworks. We did not spend the night this year cause I was a little unsure about how Krue would do we are definately planning on it next year.

On 4th of July morning we went to the washington city park to participate in the races which is also a family tradition. Krue was in the under 1 age group along with his cousin Zhar. Zhar is walking already and took 1st place but Krue came in right behind him and took 2nd so he was the fastest crawler. It was so fun! Krue and Zhar are going to be great buddy's. That evening we went to the sunbowl to watch fireworks and Krue was so funny. He would just watch them so intently and then look at me and ramble about something, then sometimes laugh. He just seemed so amazed by them.


We had a lot of fun this year and cant wait for the next holiday!





Watching Fireworks








This is the cake walk at the Park. I think I might see how to get involved in this next year cause the cake walk was just not what is usually is. They were giving out Cinamin buns as the prizes. Dumb... I guess its just the fun of doing it though.

Krue and Zhar with their moms.
Cute boys. It was impossible to get a pic of both of them smiling or waving at the same time. They just kept pulling at each other necklaces and starting pulling off the decoration by the end. Thanks for pulling the wagon Derek.
