IT'S A PARADE!!!!!

Well here we are at the beginnings of my new blog. I was blogging on myspace but we have friends and family that don't use Myspace so we have moved here.

4th of July was a fun day. On the evening of the 3rd the kids and I went to the neighbors to decorate our stuff for the 4th of July parade in the neighbor hood. The kids had a blast!
Noah's Bike
Reyna's car

We spent most of the day on the 4th playing outside in the kiddie pool and weeding our garden (yeah, it's out of control)
At around 4 we went out to the cul da sac and got ready for the parade ( we happen to live at the beginning and the end of the parade route, nice) It was a really simple deal, a bunch of kids and a couple of dogs all dressed up and going around the neighborhood. Noah and Reyna loved it. Here are some pics of that.

All lined up

Yeah... My mom tied a balloon to my head.........
"How does this thing work??" (its a Kaleidoscope)


After all the parade excitement we had dinner with Noma in our backyard and then just hung out until firework time. Noah was so cute, he asked every 5 min if it was time yet. We then went and settled our selves in Noma's yard to light our fireworks (it is just a better location.) The people across the street really like their fireworks so we got quite a show. When we put the kiddos to bed we opened their blinds so they could watch as they fell asleep. They really liked that. Here are a few photos of fireworks time.




Julia was surprisingly quiet during all of the nighttime activity. I guess that she is used to loud chaos ha ha.




Well there is a ton more to write about but there is a ton to do around here too. So, until next time.....
