Happy Birthday and Fourth of July!

Alyssa is turning two next week but we had a party early with some of her cousins and Grandma and Pi. We went to Jumping Jacks and had a blast. We had never been so it was extra special for Alyssa. At first she wouldn't let go of my hands but as you can see by the pictures she was her independant little self in no time at all. I do it! I do it! She insisted as she tried to climb up the big slide stairs by herself. She asked for help when she slid down two steps but was on her own on her way down.






Lyssa and Carcar with their Pi at the park on the 4th of July. Our kids are so blessed to have Grandma and Pi in their lives.




Nathan is always happy as long as he has a full belly, but he is extra happy when he is outside. He had so much fun with everyone around and he didn't even flinch when the fireworks went BOOM! He loved them!
Alyssa was the entertainment before the fireworks. She danced and danced as the band played and everyone around just loved it. She was slightly nervous at the first BOOM of the fireworks but quickly got used to the noises and enjoyed all of the colors.
