Our Fourth Of July

I know it was a week ago but I am trying to catch up my blog since I was a slacker for 2 months. We had a fun 4th, maybe a little too much fun. We made plans with our friends/neighbors Candy, Kevin, and their daughter Reagan. We went to the event on post bc it was supposed to have carnival rides. We were very disappointed to see 1 ride our kids were old enough for. It was also a really hot day so we didn't stay long. While we were there Connor had to pee twice and poop once. Wes handled it like a sweet hubby so I didn't have to go in the Porta-Potty. I love that man! Here are a few pics from the post event.






Both the kiddos looking all patriotic in the red, white, and blue.


















A lot of people stopped us to tell us how cute Addie was. The lady with the Harris Teeter set up took her picture.

















Connor and Reagan riding the only kiddy ride they had. They enjoyed it though.














I just liked this picture of Doodles. He looks so sweet.



















Doodles and Daddy. Daddy was tickling him.
















Doodles and Reagan dancing to the music. I believe it was Dakota Rain playing on stage.








When we got back home we cooked out and built a fire to roast marshmallows. The kids loved making the smores. Dinner was yummy. The beverages of the night consisted of daquaris, beer, and Jager. We bought some fireworks at Walmart and they were terrible. Never waste your money on them! Connor flipped out about all the fireworks going on. He has always had some pretty serious issues with noise, some hardly noticeable sounds and others may be loud. We are beginning to think auditory sensory integration dysfunction. We are seeing an ENT about his ears and I am going to pursue having him evaluated by an OT about the sensory stuff. Anyways, he went to bed because he couldn't handle the fireworks. He was so upset I was surprised he went to sleep. The night ended for us adults about midnight. I am not used to staying up so late or use to drinking.

The kiddos were proud of their marshmallows.















Candy and I after a few drinks. Please excuse how awful I look. It had been a hot day.










Wes with his sparkler. LOL

















This is why you don't buy fireworks at Walmart. They all look just like this!
