Fourth of July

Tryel and Vandy arrived to spend Fourth of July weekend with us. So we spent the weekend playing games, watching the kids play and having fun. Right before they arrived Wyatt had come down with a cold and the morning after they arrived Emmett had a rash on his face. I was not sure what the rash was from. I ended up coming to the conclusion that he had an allergic reaction to the new can of sun screen because it was not just on his face. It was everywhere his skin had been sprayed with the sun screen. I ended up taking him in and the nurse said it was probably a viral rash. I highly doubt that though since he didn't have it on his torso or legs above where his swim suit stopped. So I think I wasted money taking him in. Thankfully it didn't get any worse. Anyways, besides Emmett's skin issues we had a fun weekend.

I think Kayden is a fan of syrup!! haha 

My parents came over for dinner on Sunday before we headed to go watch the fireworks. Ty and Vandy's kids loved talking to my Dad. haha It was so funny how they just hovered over my Dad. After some burgers and hot dogs the kids played outside and then we got out dessert.

Then we played some corn hole before heading out to our lot to watch the fireworks. 

Kayden absolutely loves cars. Any chance he gets to sit in the drivers seat he will. Kemry was nice enough to play with him in their car while he pushed buttons. haha 

All ready to head out to watch some fireworks!

We drove out to our lot and put down some tarps and blankets and chairs. Then the kids started climbing all over the mounds of dirt that were near us from our neighbors basement that had just been dug out. 

I was not super excited about them climbing all over the dirt hills. I was worried that one of the kids would run down the other side and fall into the dug out basement. Which would lead to major injuries. So we finally got them to stop as the sun was going down lower. 

The Ortiz family came out too and Kayden was just loving Jason at first. He kept wanting to sit with Jason instead of me. I was hoping that he was going to cuddle with me like he did last year during the fireworks. That didn't happen this year. He went between Jason, Brandon and Papa and Gigi. The fireworks finally started at about 9:30. The kids seemed to enjoy it. 

Sadly, they ended before the finaly could happen. I think their was a fire from the show and they had to stop it early. It was kind of cool watching it from our lot knowing that in the future that will be our backyard. Plus we could see the fireworks going off all over the place from Windsor and Loveland and other places that were lighting them off. So that was pretty cool too. Once they were done we had to pack up everything and head home to get the kids to bed. It was a late night like it always is on the Fourth of July but the kids had fun! 

The next morning Ty and Vandy got all packed up and we went to the park for just a little bit to get their wiggles out before they drove home. Then they were off and my boys were sad to see their cousins leave. 

Emmett's poor face!!

He ended up falling asleep on the couch. He just laid down for a little bit and then he was asleep. I am not sure if he was not feeling well or if it was because of the lack of sleep from cousins being in town. This is a rare occurrence these days though. 

Lastly, cute little Kayden! He wants to be a big boy so badly and sleep with his brothers. He will often lay down with Ethan or Wyatt and get in their blankets and say good night! He just loves his brothers so much and wants to be with them and be like them! Anyways, it was a fun and a little chaotic weekend!! We were excited to have a little bit of time to ourselves before John and Coya arrived in a few days!
