4th of July

Forgot the camara! We went to Corbett for the old car parade in the morning with our friends from Moms club and the Hollenbecks. The children all enjoyed flag waving and seeing logging equiptment, tractors, horses and ATV's.

That afternoon we went to the St. Paul rodeo. It was a sold out show. (This means that you sit on wood bleachers right next to someone you don't know) Luke and Ryan were so excited. It was a fantastic show. Luke liked that he could yell as loud as he wanted when a person lasted 8 seconds. Daphne cood at the calves.

We left early because Daphne was holding hands with the gentleman next to me, petting the long hair of the lady in front of me (and kicking her in the back). It is good to have people who are nice to your tired and loud children. Thank you nice people!

We enjoyed fireworks from the car after the rodeo ended. What a great day!

Happy birthday Luke!

Luke will be 4 on 7/15. We celebrated his birthday at Blue Lake park on Saturday. However, Ryan and I both forgot to take pictures!

Luke woke up at 3:45 AM and said "Mommy, today is my birthday party!" He never went back to sleep. Daphne was up due to teething. So I was up too.

At 9:45AM we left for the park. Both children fell asleep on the way in, so we had a smooth unloading period.

He had a Star Wars Theme. Every big child received a blow up light saber. We thought this was a great idea! Ryan and Luke have light saber "Fights" all the time. Not so. Luke was so excited he lost control and had his light saber on time out for a while. And some kid who was not apart of our party, kept stealing them and breaking them. Let's just say I will never again give any kind of weapon in a group setting! HAHA!!

It is good to have friends. Happy birthday big boy Luke.
