Happy 4th of July!

The fourth of July?  As a teacher, the 4th usually is a sign that "summer is about over..." and it's just a little bit sad.  I enjoy the laziness of summer!  I enjoy my time with the boys (even though many days it would be eaiser to be at work than at home...).  Time just goes way.too.fast!  Here's some fun we've had this week!

All the boys enjoying a book!  :o)

Zaners reading to Bryce

What a good big brother!

Sweet, sweet Bryce!

LOVE!

Can you believe this little man is already 6 months old?  Growing right before our very eyes!  We took Bryce to his follow up appointment after hernia surgery.  Everything looked good!  And he weighed in at 17 lbs, 6 oz!  Bryce's 6 month stats:

• 17 lbs, 6 oz
• Takes 2 day naps (about 1-2 hours each) and sleeps WELL all night long!
• Eats 7-8 ounces every 3-4 hours.
• Has tried green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, bananas, and peaches.  So far fruits are his favorites!
• ARMY CRAWLS!  Our world is about to change drastically!
• Is a Mama's boy!
• Smiles a lot.  Laughs a lot.  Is just a happy kid!

I can hardly get his picture these days!  He was very interested in Big Bird this month!

Our little man!

As I was taking Bryce's photo, I remembered we hadn't done Zane's 7 year photo with Big Bird!

My how he has grown!

Bryce's first Fourth of July!

Wouldn't you love to know what he's thinking?

I decorated our cupcakes to look like a flag!

At Jo's house for the parade!

All smiles for Zaner!
