fireworks, parades, milestones, and more

We have had such a busy month! We have been moving, which meant packing, unpacking, cleaning, and painting two houses! We are still unpacking, and can't wait to get back to normal life. Kyle and I have both had some pretty bad dark circles around our eyes lately!

Carson and Kylie were great help, especially when it came to the demolition part of things!
We managed to have some fun during this crazy month anyways. Here are some pictures of the big events, and a few days that we took off to play......

The fourth of July! We went to a parade, and then to our annual neighborhood party, which was a ton of fun. Some of our neighbors each made a little cart to connect together, and it formed a fun little train for the kids to ride.

Of course, Carson had to try out the Boise State one!

I accidently bought my poor buddy a girl's patriotic shirt, so he looked a little feminine around the neckline! Sorry sweetheart! I will do better next year!Lexi rolled over! I caught it with my camera, she also can hold her bottle pretty well on her own. Kyle turned the big 3-O! The kids all had fun with his presents.We celebrated by taking him out to a nice dinner, he got to dance and play an instrument to his own beat, while they sang to him!Kyle's parents came to town, and helped us with some painting....thank you so much to them! We also went to a horse parade with them, and his sister's family. It was awesome.These dancing horses were my favorite!This is Kyle's dad with Lexi, and Lainah....they are four days apart. Cute!!Nonna and pop pop came for a visit. We took them to the zoo, and they brought the kids some more nice presents. Nonna was able to meet Alexis for the first time. They helped keep the kids happy while I did some packing! Thank you to them as well!Carson and Kylie got to ride in a cool safari wagon, and Carson had to close his eyes when we passed by the big loud bird! he.he.We took a couple breaks by swimming at grammy and grandpa's house...what a relief that was!Lexi also went in the pool for her first time. She loved it. She didn't mind the cool water a bit! Even though it may not look like it in this picture.And finally some bed time stories by daddy in Kylie's new room!

This month has gone by too fast. Hopefully next month we will have more free time! Also last, but not least......KYLIE IS POTTY TRAINED!!! We are so incredibly proud of her!! Carson is not too far behind, but still needs a little practice. YAY for Kylie, and goodbye to expensive diapers X's two!!!!!!!
