This is not the first time that I have said that blogging is not my priority. I just read on another blog that to be a good blogger you should have a new post a couple of times a week. I am definitely not a good blogger, but I'm okay with that. I have fun with my boys outside in our kiddie pool and playing baseball, inside coloring and doing puzzles, also playing baseball and enjoying my evenings, when they are free, with my amazing husband. When I get a chance, like tonight while he is gone, I may blog.
And not because we are boring and do nothing. We have had all sorts of things going on.
First the Fourth of July was great! We started at the balloons and this is pretty much how our day went. Jordo thought everything was loud and Ty couldn't get enough.
Ty is at that stage where 'smile' means this. It just shows the passion that he has for life. And Jordo was still a bit nervous and didn't like his back to the source of the noise.
Florida is too far for us to visit, so were were lucky to have Kev's sister, Rachel, and our neice, Allie here for a while. We missed Mike, who was busy doing smart pharmacy school stuff. The boys always mentioned he was missing.
The traditional 'Cul-de-Sac of Fire' was a hit. Right in the middle you can see Kev's dad kneeling with Ty, Jordo and my nephew Tanner, who were all a bit nervous to be so close to the fireworks. Okay, for Jordo nervous is a complete understatement. He was in a total breakdown.
This shows Jordo's enthusiasm for fireworks. He spent the night in the house watching from the window with Grandma. We offered to switch, but she too was fine watching without the noise. Poor little guy. He still reminds us, "I don't like fireworks."Next, a reunion to beat all other reunions. I went to the Naylor family reunion, Kev's grandparents and ALL the relatives. There were close to 200 people, I think, and everyone was happy and had a good time. I didn't know groups like this existed. Sorry, no proof since my camera was dead, but it was pretty amazing.
Still no camera, but from there we headed to St. George to my family reunion. A much smaller deal, but defintiely crazier! My family is good at making everything nuts. We have a good time together and it was fun to see everyone, especially Dave, Ashley and little Zach that live in Virginia.
Needless to say, we have had a full summer. The boys have loved the cousins, the activities and the fun. But we have worn them out. Neither of them nap any more, but I have found this on a few occasions...
And just today I found this...

I think blogging more than once a week is crazy! And who has time to read that many updates. Once every week or two is perfect. Mom and dad blogging every other month is too little.
The boys sleeping is just too cute. You're brave to leave them coloring alone, I would have rainbow walls.
(I blog probably too much but I print it in place of a scrapbook/kids journal. It is mostly for the kids and if others want to read it they can but I like when you update- your boys are so cute!)
Thanks for sharing the 4th of July with us! I loved watching the fireworks with Jordo inside the house. I can remember experiencing the terror that he felt that night all too well! He must have inherited my sensitive ears. Love those boys!
So cute. Jordan doesn't nap anymore? bummer, well, in some ways it's easier. I am excited to see ya next week!
