The 4th of July Weekend!
This is the first time its actually been just our little family on a fourth of July. And Chad & I agreed it was one of the best yet. If you forget the part where we did not have watermelon the whole weekend. Isnt that like a sin? Wow! haha. Now if you are one of the many people we spent previous fourth of July's with dont be getting all butt hurt and offended. We had the best 4th because Ethan FINALLY decided that fireworks were not scary. Even just last year he was terrified of everything, yes even the sparklers & the poppers. He is special. This we know. So we had a weekend full of little kid-friendly fireworks... sparklers, tanks, poppers, volcanoes, smoke bombs, strobe lights and the spinning flowers (morning glories?). The kids had so much fun. And so did we. All the rain over the weekend didnt even dampen our parade! ha! Here are a few thousands pictures for my your enjoyment!
The Boys on the 3rd....all dressed in red & ready to go!
Ethan ENJOYING his 1st sparkler!
Ethan didnt mind these.
He even told Daddy that those were cool.
But tells him to please not pop any loud ones.
Dylan has always loved the sparklers.
He likes to show off for Ethan.
When it was time to pop the bigger ones Ethan was a little unsure about it all,
so he would run into the house and watch for a minute.
He would then come running back out as soon as they started popping into the air... he decided he loved them.
These are the most awesome poppers ever!
They sound like blackcats when you throw them.
Get some next year... they are fun.
Here's Aiden being the adorable little dude he is on the 4th.
He loved those little flags. And check out his calves.... yeah,
he works out. He's been exercising those little legs so much lately and
really beefin' the muscles out and losing his baby chub.
My, my how time does fly.
My little turds.... I mean sweet, sweet boys.
Hope everyone had a great 4th.... I know we did!
Stay tuned for more awesomeness from us Carrolls in Abilene!
