4th of July

We celebrated on the 3rd of July this year... actually we celebrated on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
On the 2nd, Lisa and I took the babies to downtown Mesa to see fireworks.  We inadverntly parked RIGHT next to the building that the fireworks were being shot off from.  Brady was not thrilled with this location and he covered his ears the entire time (with Lisa's hands and his!).  Peyton was bothered by the noise for a while but then took my hands off her ears.  She would blink and jolt a bit each time there was a loud boom!  I'm pretty sure Brady didn't stop talking about fireworks the entire ride home... and Peyton insisted on calling them firetrucks.  No matter how many times we told her that they were fireWORKS, she kept saying fireTRUCKS.
On the 3rd, my family came over for a cookout.  The babies had their matching shirts on so we of course had to take pictures. They are so fun to watch today.  And they are so lucky to have each other-so close in age and so close in proximity too! Lucky cousins!!

 

On the 4th we just hung out as a family.  That night we let Peyton play with sparklers while in her jammies.
