4th of July/ My birthday

We had such a fun 4th of July. I had such a good birthday to. I get asked all the time if I like having my birthday on the 4th, and I love it. There is always something to do and always friends and family to celebrate it with me. Last year I did not have a good birthday, I won't go into detail. So this year was really good and fun. We did a lot of the same stuff I use to do when I was a kid. We woke up early to see the hot air balloons, then we went to the parade and watched the runners before the parade started. My mom use to run in the race every year when I was little. Then we went to breakfast. After all that then it was time to come home a let Lucas take a good nap. He slept 3 hours! Lucas did really good the whole day with his schedule being all messed up. We had such a good day doing all the same traditions I did as a kid.Watching the parade. It rained a little and Lucas thought it was so fun to have that blanket on his head.

Lucas was so tired. I love this because he never lets me hold him like this unless he is really tired.

Trying to get away from me during his diaper change. Gotta love those cheeks.

Nap time

My birthday cake that my little sister made for me. I wasn't expecting someone to make a cake for me so I actually made myself a cheesecake, but Colt helped.

Getting ready for fireworks

Look closely and you can see his 2 front teeth

He absolutely loved watching the fireworks. I thought he would be scared and cry but he just calmed down and watched them the whole time.

The only firework picture we got that somewhat turned out.
