Fabulous Fourth!

Celebrating in our new town, the city of Dupont had a fun little Parade and pancake breakfast to start out the festivities.

Gage is ALL BOY, because that Stryker was about the coolest things he saw at the parade!

Still watching the Stryker...funny kid!

Eating Dad's hat, yumm-o!

Trading off, because hey, he's a big dude!

Are 3-D Glasses at fire works very common? I've never used them, but both Gage and I thought it was AWESOME!! Ty, not so much.

This Kid LOVED LOVED LOVED the fireworks; he would not look away for 2 seconds, and he wasn't a BIT distracted by my flash!

Life Truly is a Box of Chocolates

at least it is now that we are all together again. And who cares what kind of chocolate you get, it's CHOCOLATE, and it just doesn't get any better than that!

Here we are at the Vancouver Rodeo...

not bad, but it was NOTHING compared to the rodeos from home.

Gage is really into pointing these days, and he likes to point with his fingers crossed; Man I love this chunky monkey!


Those with kiddos know, there are few toys as great as good old paper!

MUAH!

Love this hat!

My parenting skills at their best!

(While Gage definitely did NOT drink the dew, the 3 year old sitting with his Mommy in front of us WAS IN FACT drinking a dew?!)

Nothin but LOVE!

Welcome HOME Daddy!!

Welcome Home!

This Independence Day, we really have a LOT to celebrate!

Our Little Tank was dressed just like his old man as we went to pick him up, (Ty is infamous for his button up shirts.)

The anticipation was unbelievable, and just plain rude as they had a video, playing live feed of our boys coming off the plane and turning in their weapons, just a few miles away, but still FOREVER away!

So kissable! In fact, those cheeks have not been left alone since!
