More firework fun

I might have skipped a few pictures from our firework fun days...here's another sparkler fun time :)We went to Fremont to enjoy more fireworks with the Weitzel's...here its girls time in the jeep. Kenadee is showing Mia the way around...
and as normal Kenadee is in charge of her and Vincent's relationship...

Vince and some of their neighbors watching fireworks

Nikki and Mia...trying to keep her happy with some of the loud BOOM ones. She actually did much better, when she was occupied with something else.

Cheesy Mommy and Mia

So I tried to get some pictures...some cute...maybe posed...pictures of the kids in red, white and blue outfits...lets just say that was a CHALLENGE.

First...Vin wanted to wear a sock...thats right just one sock.

Mia did not want to wear her headband...and insisted on bringing luvy with her.

so we got....

and then mommy saying..Mia can you please lay luvy down, so mommy can get a pretty picture of you...this lasted about 2 seconds...and this is the picture I got...but still cute

playing with options on the camera...and Vin just being dorky

and the all of sudden...

Mia decides to pose herself...hanging over the wooden swing set....BINGO....

MY ABSOLUTE FAV

Vin decided to do the same...but he was hot from running around and didn't want to smile

again I tried to pose her...and didn't work...but I love what I got...and the belly that comes along with her.

Firework fun

A couple of nights before 4th of July...our neighbors were lighting off fireworks..they were so kind to let us join in, Vin got to light off some fireworks with the help of neighbor Tony and also did some sparklers...as seen below. He didn't want to go inside when all done..he wanted more...more..MOREVince and Mia anxiously watching Nana (not pictured) light a NOT suppose to be loud firework.
and the BOOM>>> and off they go......

Mia is not a fan of the fireworks...the tears are just flowing...and this momma should go love her baby girl...but I can't help but get a few pics of the moment...

HELP ME!!!

Don't worry...NANA came to her rescue, while Mommy continues to take more pictures of the moment her life changed from fireworks.

Mommy, Vin and Mia attempting to light off snakes....(how boring)

Vin watching Nana very closely, and being a very good boy.

Nana and Vince lighting a tank...Vin was excited...its kinda like the truck Daddy has (in Afghanistan) not sure if thats a good thing that he's excited to start it on fire!

Summer Fun

Unkie Jacob checkin out our new camera....I think it works!Vin, Mia and Mommy checking out a splash pad near our house. Vince was a big fan of it...and it had an outside BIG potty that was cool..but smelled!!!...according to him. Mia was not to sure of the whole idea.
Vince testing the water...

Wait for it ....wait for it.....

and wham...we did this over and over and over...

its a little too sunny for Miss Mia..she's trying on Vin's shades

Some day I will know I will just miss these innocent times..when she is just hanging out doing her own thing, finding random things to entertain herself with instead of the the 10 water toys I offer her.

little thirsty...fishy water is the best

One of my favorite times...the kids just talking...or maybe even planning something...but definately NOT fighting. I love times like these..hoping to have more to come.

as close as we got to the water that day
