Fourth of July

We had a great holiday weekend. Friday we just hung around the house and did our own fireworks that evening. The boys loved it as usual, but Chloe actually enjoyed it this year. She was ready to be done pretty quickly though. I guess I've passed on my opinion of fireworks to Chloe. This was our first 4th of July in this house, so I wasn't sure how bad it would be around here. It wasn't as bad as our other neighborhood, but there was one house that was still doing fireworks when I fell asleep. Thankfully it didn't bother any of the kids. Chloe said that they helped her go to sleep. This from the girl who used to be scared because she could hear dogs barking at night.
We went to my cousin's house on Sat. It has become one of our favorite get-togethers. We get to hang out with family we don't see very often, there is always tons of yummy food, and my dad brings the go kart. The go kart is always fun, but it's like riding a roller coaster there because of some huge hills in their yard. I took my first ride this year, and Avery was driving!! It was a pretty crazy ride. Brady wanted to drive me too, but I wasn't ready for that!! I'm already scared for that kid to drive a car. We had so much fun. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. It's much harder to get pictures of the boys because I don't see them much while we're there.

Don't they look excited!
