it was a good one.

we had a low key 4th of july. we have all been sick, especially gage, so we didn't really plan anything and it was wonderful!

these pictures don't have anything to do with the 4th but their great family memories for vance & i so they were included...

we started the day off by having our weekend tradition of steel cut oats for breakfast. yummy. gage helped cut up fruit to put on top.
lanster.

gagers.

we spent all day outside, loving us some colorado sunshine! the boys can swing for HOURS!!

baby bump on the 4th. (and yes, i'm already BIG!! i guess being pregnant 3 times in 3 years, your body just knows what to do.)
after a big supper (baked beans still evident on gage's face) all the neighbors gathered in the circle for some fun. and fun it was...we had a GREAT time!!
my attempt at festive homemade popsicles.
lane was a machine was the super soaker.

gage giving it a go. he had no idea what to do with it, he just swung it around and laughed. (oh yeah, and i had 4th of july clothes for the boys. whoops, they never made it off the floor. next year?)
smoke bombs.
fireworks around the fire pitt.
sparklers!! lane's new favorite...aren't they everyone's favorites?



gage enjoying the show in his pjs:)

the next day they slept past 8am, it was great!
