Fourth of July!.. good times..


Yup had a super amazing time for the 4th! Good times at the parade, paintin
g toenails, walking around the park, eating Bajios...yummy like usual..., being with family and of course gotta do the BBQ with chicken, hamburgers and hotdogs and yummy salads.. yes it has become the tradition for me to always make the frog eye salad...so yummy... Fireworks were awesome and fun just hanging around watching. We took Logan inside for a bit since all the noises and craziness of the day and not good naps were catching up to him so we were hanging inside Bamma's house with daddy to let him crawl around. The fireworks only scared him a few times, they scared him worse looking out the window seeing random flashes of light.
So all together it was a great day and I didn't even have to try to get some candies for Max and Chloe since one got thrown into the stroller and an otter pop was thrown at my arm.. funny..
And one moment I have to say was the keeper of the day was while we were inside playing with Logan I got on the piano to play.. Logan already likes the piano.. mostly to bang on it and sing
(yup he is already ready for American Idol) and if you take him away from the piano he grunts to let you know he is not done.. love it, so cute.. so as I'm playing my great grandma comes over to
play and she is an amazing piano player as we all know and she adds all these cool notes to the
basic hymns I was playing and helped give me pointers to place my fingers better since I don't practice as much as I used to(I know I need to!) So this moment turned into a touching moment for me(I know cheesy...but true) as I thought my great-grandma may not be here for much longer but I just had the opportunity to remember what it was like to learn piano, to be taught by my mother, grandma and great-grandmother as I prepared for piano recitals(which by the
way great-grandma does not remember this..so funny to discuss that with her that she really did teach me at one point) and as we played I know my Redeemer lives.. wow.. I was so happy to be part of this moment and to have my husband and son behind me listening and talking to Jesse later and finding out he was touched too made me feel like this day was a good one and well spent. to love knowing that while we were playing Leah and Aub were talking in the kitch
en and my mom, siblings,sister in law,aunt, uncle were outside all enjoying the time together.
Note..soak up these moments before they are gone..
Heres the proof of good times..
My sister did my amazing toe job!

SO fun!! Logans hair looks like it is starting to lay down, not sticking up too much anymore! Stu's still is, and I will admit that I love it!
