So our 4th of July celebration was a BLAST!! LITERALLY!! ;) We went to the fairgrounds in Pocatello, where they shoot off the fireworks. Well I found this spot, thinking, "Hey there's no one sitting here for quite a few feet, cool we won't have to deal with people crowding us!!" Well when the fireworks show started I realized WHY there wasn't anyone sitting right there. We were sitting in the FRONT ROW of the action!! The fireworks were literally being lit right in front of us!! Haha!! Carter LOVED it!! He didn't even make a peep, he just watched every firework go off!! (I think he's going to be my little pyro). Londyn didn't really like the really BRIGHT ones, so she would hide her face under the blanket. But after the intermission she came and sat with me, and I turned it into a learning experience. I would ask her what color each firework was, and she got a kick out of that!!
Last night Carter pushed through his FIRST TOOTH!! He's getting so big. He HAS TO BE where ever Londyn is, which is funny because Londyn knows he is not as fast as her. She teases him by running away from him, then he chases after her, she comes back, then runs away. They just laugh and laugh when they play this game.
Londyn picks up a new habit every day. This week it's been quoting her favorite movies like "Bolt". Just a few days a go I was trying to get her off the 4-wheel and to come inside so we could eat lunch. She turns to look at me, ROLLS her eyes and says, "Get out of here, JUST GET OUT OF HERE BOLT." Oh my heavens I thought I was going to die laughing. She said it just like the cat does in the movie!! My kids crack me up!! Her new found love is bedtime stories. This started because I've been reading my scripture before I go to bed, instead when I wake up. One night she asked if she should read my stories, and I told her to go get one of her books to read (not that I don't want her to read scriptures, I just didn't want her RIPPING out pages). So she hopped out of bed, ran and got some books (yes not just ONE but SOME!!), and I've been reading to her, letting her fall asleep, then I read scriptures ever since!! I LOVE it because it's been a fun bonding time for the both of us!
Bradey has been working hard in the yard!! Our sprinklers haven't been getting the back corner of our lawn, and our hose isn't long enough to reach that corner, so Bradey (being the go getter that he is) decided to put a sprinkler head in that spot!! We went to Lowe's Friday after work to go get the material (and we were there for FOREVER!!), then got home and he dug a trench until 10:30, then Saturday he put it all together. Now my grass is turning green!! I love my hard working man!!
As for me, I've really been trying to kick it up a notch with my MK business. And it's been fun doing it!! I've gotten to see friends who I haven't seen in years, and meeting LOTS of new people. It has really help me come back into being the "sociable Alyssa" again. Hanging out with adult women has made me realize I have been talking to babies WAY to much!! ;) So I am getting a balance of adulthood and mommyhood. :)
P.S. Sorry no pictures this post. I didn't take my camera with me to the 4th of July!
