Getting Ready For School

We went school shopping and bought the supplies on the list Nicholas needed for kindergarden. He was so excited that he wanted to sharpen all the pencils. It was so cute how excited he was. However, I don't feel ready to have a kindergardener.

4th of July

This was our 2nd year celebrating the 4th of July in Auburn. We started by decorating Nicholas' bike and stroller for William. Hailey rode in the snuggly. I'm sure it was a sight to see... It's a lot of fun watching the kids getting so excited.
The kids wanted to go on the rides of coarse! They did the $5 bracelets again this year. I think that is a great price for the rides all day. They had mostly blowup slides and bounce house type rides. They had a petting zoo, but the kids didn't want to take part in that this year.

They did ride the barrel train... Which Hailey just enjoyed the sun and relaxed while the boys played. We were fortunate enough to see the Jantzen family and the Twiddy's. It's always great to see friends unexpectedly or planned.

This year the Macenroth's went with us... Shannon did a disappearing act and we couldn't find her. She had went to play Bingo, and then we were separated. It was fun trying to find eachother, at least until the kids started fussing. We decided to part ways and catch up later for dinner and fireworks.

We invited the Twiddy's and Macenroth's over for dinner. We had BBQ Ribs and chicken. The kids played outside. Adam and Shannon brought over their bounce house which was a great hit with the kids. Then we waited for it to get dark... It was great fun to be able to light fireworks off with out having to go anywhere. Our neighbors down the street had a great show too, we didn't even have to do our own they had so many.

Thanks for coming, we had a great time!
