Happy 4th of July!

We had a wonderful day today! We took the boys to a parade this morning and they had a blast. I wasn't sure how they would do because Eli really doesn't like loud noises and Jude isn't too sure about new things. Eli did cover his ears as the fire trucks went by and Jude didn't want me to put him down but they were both all smiles. Jude got more and more excited each time we would see a clown and the high light of the entire parade was seeing Boomer! Eli was so excited! Boomer was riding a bicycle and he stopped right in front of us and did a flip. The boys thought it was very cool!

Waiting for the Parade to start!

It's BOOMER!!!

After nap we took the boys outside and walked around down by the water. The boys always have fun doing this. There is a pretty steep hill from out yard down to the water and Jude is so funny to watch trying to walk on it. He has to have a death grip on someones hand and he takes the tiniest steps but he is smiling the entire time.

A fun recreation from last summer

Eli 31/2

Jude 22 months

It took me all day to get good smiles out of both boys but I finally succeeded tonight. It is so difficult to get a good picture of Eli smiling sometime.

Finally good smile :-)

Jude is getting so big

LOVE these boys!!!
