Happy Birthday America!!

We had a fabulous 4th even though our original plans were rained out! My aunt Sarah & cousin Tristan were here from Canada and my cousin Amanda came from Canyon.  We had planned to go to the lake on the 4th & BD went ahead of us, but ended up getting stuck out there because they closed the road down due to all the rain, so for the 1st time in 10 years I didn't celebrate the 4th with him :(((  But we made the best of it.  We made all the cousins tye dye shirts...so fun, but so messy!!  They looked adorable in them!   We painted our faces too....I told Briley stop smilig so I could do his face & the kid just changed his smile...he can't not smile!!  Of course we popped fireworks, but in the driveway (I know that's a no-no, but the whole block seemed to be doing it...I mean the idea of going & finding a muddy spot in the country wasn't too appealing!))  Briley wasn't a huge fan of the loud ones (made him cry)...we could see really big ones not far from us in the sky & he LOVED those, so he told me, "I don't like fireworks, but I like fireworks"! Silly boy!!  Avery helped do his first sparkler...he has no fear, unfortunately!  Anyway, here are some pics....

Super Naked Heroes

I made the boys super hero costumes just for fun and they loved them...they immediately felt like they could fly off couches and other high places?!  Of course we're STILL potty training (yes it's nearly been a whole month & Avery is basically trained, but my double stubb is having some issues that are causing his father & I to pull our hair out!!), so when we're at home, we're pretty much naked all of the time, except now they're naked with capes & masks, which hides you're identity so nobody knows who the naked boys are anyway right?! And yes I hid the identity of their specials with a little pixilation action so I don't have any perves stealing my sweet boys pics!!

Ice Cream prayers

The ice cream man comes by pretty much everyday, and of course they ask EVERYDAY if we can go get some! Lucky for them their Daddy has just as big of a sweet tooth as they do, so he races out there with them at least once or twice a week!

Well, after he came the other day, Avery was saying his prayers that night and he said "Thank you God for Grandma and the ice cream truck"...Briley chimes in "and the ice cream MAN!"!  So funny! They of course went on to list everyone else they know, but I know God loves a child's honesty and the ice cream man & his truck are all part of His creation, so definitely deserve prayers right?!

Toy Story 3 in 3D

We love love Toys Story 1 & 2, "Wooyee & Buzz Yightyear" are the coolest, so of course we were super excited to see TS3 and had to go opening day.  Toy Story was the first movie Chloe ever saw in the ttheatre so I think it's pretty cool that Avery's first movie was the 3rd one.  He did really great for his first movie, I had envisioned him running around hiding fro me in the dark, but being his favorite I think helped...at the end he did get a little carried away dancing and went too far, but overall he was great!!! 

You're never too old for this movie, Chloe, my mom & me laughed more than the boys and Mom & Chloe both cried...I know I would have, but spilled my coke on Avery & I, he proceeds to try to strip, so right at the tear jerking part I was a bit distracted! But we highly recommend it to ALL!  It was their first 3D movie & mine since the they started using these cool glasses versus the paper boxes!  Avery kept his on about 50% of the time, Briley set on the edge of his seat and barely even moved to eat his popcorn...he loved it needless to say!!

So cute!!This was right when the guy told us we couldn't take pictures in the theatre!!! What, even when the movie is over?  I had no idea!

Little Daddy

Avery is going to be a great Daddy someday, he love loves babydolls! We got our niece Sydney this fun babydoll from Target, it sucks the bottle, burps & then falls asleep, it also cries & laughs. Avery loved it more than she did!  I couldn't resist getting him one, but I put it in my prize stash for potty training.  So, he has been doing so good potty training & has earned many prizes, one of them being the babydoll! Oh he was so excited, he has dragged her around every since!!

I caught him attempting to put her pants on and told him he wouldn't fit, "Mommy can't wear your clothes and you can't wear your babies clothes!".  Well he proved me wrong...he's such a determined little guy!  So here is Avery in his pink knickers....crazy kid!

Lake'N'it @ Allen Henry!

Briley actually got in the water this year...wooHOO! It was a little cold at first...so his smile is a little rigid here! He then said, "Okay, I did it, now I want back in the boat!"

Avery wasn't as big of a fan of the lake this year, as he was last year! Last year he was trying to jump in before we were even anchored and this year we had to talk him into it & he hated the tube!! Briley absolutely loved the tube this year...it's like they switched...weirdos!

Chloe & her BFF, Steely being silly & having lots of fun!

This kid is a magnet for gross!!! He loves the worms...let them all go one time playing with them, wants to kiss the fish, and just get down and dirty in it! Briley on the otherhand just wants to do whatever Daddy is doing, except touch anything nasty...so funny how opposite they are!
