Sparklers

In the morning the kids got their pictures taken in their new outfits with their cousins. We were only missing Parker & Addison. Then they each got to throw a bag of pop its around at each other.

We saw fireworks in a weird place this year. We went to a cemetery and sat on the grass. Staci realized after we got there that there was dead bodies buried under us. The owner of the cemetery encourages it and in years past has handed out popsicles.

The kids did some sparklers while we waited. It took Xander a minute to take one in his hands because he kept telling Mommy that they were hot. But he finally caught on and only held it while his sister drew things in the air with theirs. It was their first time doing these.

The fireworks was a good show. Xander kept saying, "Whooo, that is a big one." He really seemed to enjoy it. On our way out Xander's sunglasses fell out of the car but mistake and Mom ran them over. Whoops! But amazingly enough she only broke on side of the frame and the lens fell out but they still worked.

After we got home Mom had bought some fireworks for the kids to watch. This was their first time as well. They had the funniest expressions on their faces and they kept plugging their ears. It was too cute!

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
