07/04/2011

We've been so busy recently that it's been a couple weeks since I last updated the blog. I've got lots of pictures, mostly of the fourth of July weekend.

Tysen is sporting his new shades while we get ready to go to the pool to cool off.

He mostly just wants to chew on them!

Tysen liked putting his feet and legs in the water. He even took some steps with Daddy's help.






Then we surprised the kids by taking them to see Cars 2. This was Tysen's first movie theater experience.

Alexa wanted to hold her own ticket!

Tysen slept through most of his first movie. Oh well, that made it easier on us!

Then we went to Easton to do some shopping and we stopped to let Alexa and Gavin play in the water fountains. That's their favorite thing to do at Easton.

Alexa likes to stick her face directly in the water. Afterwards, she was complaining that her eyes hurt and she kept rubbing them with her towel. She told us that she never wants to play in the "hurty water" again. Matthew went to Dicks and bought her and Gavin goggles.







After we got the kids dried off, we went to Red Robin for supper.

Gavin was unusually well-behaved during supper. He must have been worn out from all the water play.

Gavin is patiently waiting for Mommy and Daddy to finish eating.

After supper, we went to the New Albany fireworks. We had great seats right inside the high school football stadium. We really enjoyed the fireworks. The kids had a blast.
(Tysen's doctors have told us multiple times that he doesn't hear anything...but I know that he heard the fireworks! That's a good sign.)

Alexa is dancing around while we wait for the fireworks to start.


It's not easy to get all the kids on my lap anymore!

Alexa is still obsessed with rainbows, so I decided to make her a rainbow cake. I told her that Rainbow Bright brought it to our house while she was taking a nap. She was really excited.



I didn't get a very good picture of it, but the kids just got done feeding Gabbi her special birthday treat. On July 11th, Gabbi turned 7 years old!
