So instead of haveing one day to celebrate the 4th of July we sort of had 3! On the 3rd I bought some sparklers and some snaps....well we couldn't wait to see how Aden reacted to the sparklers so we got some of them out and got some super cute pictures! He had so much fun with them we couldn't wait for him to see more fire works on the 4th. Laura and her boyfriend Eric came down for a visit. They went with Courtney and some friends out on the desert on the 4th. So we went over to my mom and dad's house and had a nice dinner, then Aden took his bath there and then we set off some fun little fire works there with grandma and grandpa. Well at first Aden LOVED them. In fact he kept saying "Wow!" But we soon found out he wasn't a big fan of the spinning flower fireworks...one of them had a malfunction and I think it scared him bad....from there on out it was a struggle to get him to enjoy the fire works. He would scream and hold on to me so tight and try to get as far away from them as he could. But I think he will recover by the 24th...I hope anyways because the big fireworks will be here in town. By the 5th Luke and Mary and Tianna came down. After we had a great BBQ at my grandma's house we went back to my dad's house and we set off some big fire works (the less than legal kind that Eric brought from Wyoming to share with us all) and some more sparklers which Aden was a little leery of but still held onto for a couple minutes. The highlight for him however, didn't come in the form of any firework or sparkler, he loves my dad's horses! He calls them "horty" and makes horse sounds! Well this spring three baby horses were born and Aden loves them and in fact he has ridden on them on more than one occasion. But he was extra excited to ride the horses and they were really patient with him and we even got both Tianna and Aden on one at the same time. Sorry the picture is a little blurry but it was the only one I got before Aden bailed off. Tianna loved being on the bigger horses too! At one point Aden was on Cookie (the light colored one) and she started to run and my mom was running along side with Aden on top! Aden was laughing and smiling the whole way! They also got excited about the bunnies! Laura brought them down with her! They were sticking thier fingers in the cage and giggling when the bunnies would sniff their fingers. They also both got plenty of bunny nose practice! We had so much fun this weekend and loved seeing all our family together again! We hope to see them all soon for the Lake family reunion! I hope you enjoy the pictures :)!
