Parties

The past couple weeks we have been busy with parties and holiday festivities. Two weekends ago Lara and I went with Jen, Bryan, and the boys to Bryan's sister's house for a 4th of July party. Lara was her usual socialite self and played with all the little kids. It is so cute how she will go tag along with anybody, and half the time they're a few years older and ignore her, but that doesn't phase her at all. So after an evening of running around we kicked back to watch the fireworks show, which was great! The next day we met my mom with Lara so she could take her up to Siren since my daycare had the week of the 4th off.

I joined the family in Siren Tuesday night, and my mom and I took Lara over to a friend's cabin. Their daughter was up with her 2 year old son Knox and baby girl Lizzie. Lara and Knox played with boats and trucks in their life jackets. It was so cute! I will post pictures in a few days when i get my pictures on the computer. We went for a pontoon ride, then we were off to my aunt and uncle's house to watch my uncle Paul's annual fireworks show. It was awesome like usual, and Lara slept through most of it, so we went home right away to put her to bed. On the 4th we went down to Main St for the 4th of July parade. My parent's neighborhood has a float, so it was fun to watch. My dad handed out candy, and they were shooting water and confetti at the crowd. I helped Lara get candy, she's a little slow and needs all the help she can get. After the parade we went to a neighborhood picnic before I headed home so I could work the rest of the week.

Saturday Lara and I went to Eau Claire for Logan's 1st birthday party. He is our friends Ryan and Steph's son from Colombia. He is an absolute doll! It was really hot out, but there were lots of water toys for the kids to play with, so we had a good time. Today is his actual birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN! :)

Sunday was a lazy day. It was super hot out again, so I joined Lara in her pool for a while, then we all went grocery shopping, and hung out inside the rest of the day while we finally got some rain. That is about it. Have a great week, and I will post some pictures in a few days!
