Fourth of July Weekend

Well I never would have thought that having two kids would mean that I would never find the time to blog! I can't believe its the end of August and I'm just updating July. Well it is now my goal to get caught up because it has been an extremely eventful summer. So we will start were we left off at the fourth of July.

At this time Aaron was working twelve hours a day seven days a week. Since he was never home, he was kind enough to let the kids and I take off to California for the fourth of July weekend. So off we went on our third road trip since Kaylynn had been born. I h0nestly have the best little travelers! Kaylynn sleeps and Ashton watches movies. We came down a few days early so we could enjoy hanging out with my family. Taryn and I spent a day together shopping and while we were out we took Ashton on the carousel at the mall. This is one of Ashton's favorite things to do. Taryn was nice enough to stand with him so I could sit with Kaylynn and watch.

On Saturday we had our family BBQ to celebrate uncle Sheldon's birthday. It was so much fun swimming, playing bag mitten, eating homemade ice cream and just visiting with family. I especially enjoyed spending the day with my cousin Tressah as I don't get to see her as often. Ashton even tried riding a two wheel bike and was actually doing pretty good. My mom and dad took Ashton to see the fireworks and he LOVED it. They sit right under were they set off the fireworks and it is truly amazing. I stayed home with Kaylynn and watched the fireworks from the house. It was still an amazing view and so fun to watch.

This trip was also fun because my friend Anna came up to visit with her son Tyler. Tyler is one of Ashton's very first friends and we try to get them together whenever we are in town. It was so nice to visit and watch the boys play.

It was so hard picking pictures from this trip because I honestly had so many great ones to choose from. Kaylynn was a crack up because she smiled every time I got the camera out. It was like she knew what she was suppose to do. I will say it again and again that I've got the cutest kids in world! Even though we missed spending the fourth with Aaron, it was a really fun trip and was great to spend a week out of heat and in the beautiful San Diego weather.
