4th of July Weekend

This year we had the Perry family over for a Barbecue. We spent the afternoon playing in the yard and on the swing set.

Kyla on the swing.

Caedan in his swing.

Even big kids love to swing!

And then it was time for fireworks. The city of Kenmore bans fireworks but we didn't let that stop us from having fun. We were at times worried that someone would call the cops but luckily that didn't happen.


We had a great time with our sparklers, pop-its, worms and smoke bombs. I know you are thinking that we are really out of control. Robert and Jedd invented a new game which we are calling smoke bomb baseball. One person lights a smoke bomb and then pitches it to a batter. The goals is to hit the smoke bomb over your house without having it land in your neighbors yard. If you are taking pictures you should watch out for flying smoke bombs!! You never know when one will hit you in the camera - just ask Kim!


On Sunday we headed out for a bike ride. We rode down our hill to the Burke-Gilman trail and rode towards Redmond.

On the way home we stopped at Bothell Landing for a break before we rode back up our hill. Our total ride for the day was 20 miles but it was those last few miles up, up, up the hill that made me question why I thought the ride was a good idea in the first place. If only I could figure out a way to install a little motor on the back of Caedan's trailer!

One bite for the Geese and one bite for Olivia!!

Olivia loves to take pictures with our camera and she has now discovered that she can even take her own picture.

And Caedan finally got not one, but two more teeth this weekend! He now has two teeth on the top to complement those bottom teeth! Today he had his nine month check up. He is a little behind in the weight department so they want us to try and fatten him up. He is only in the 10-20% for his weight so we need to feed him higher calorie foods. Maybe cake and ice cream for dinner! He had two more shots and a heel prick to check his iron level. Caedan is defiantly not a fan of shots.
