But now Maddy is getting too big, they don't make matching clothes in size 6 and infants. Maybe at Christmas, I'll find something that matches again.

Twins
When Maddy was a baby, she often wore matching outfits with her Aunt Emma (and they still do). Emma has grown up and so has Maddy but now the clothes fit Maddy and Lexi. Well they kindof fit! Crazy to think, Emma and Maddy are the same age gap that Maddy and Lexi are.

4th Celebrations
I love the 4th of July, it's so fun to see red, white and blue everywhere and remember our freedoms. I always get the chills when we sing "my country tis of thee." I think back to when this country was at war and making peace and claiming victory here. I am so thankful for my freedom and the armed men and women serving to keep it that way. Thanks! And Happy 4th!
Jack loves to pick out his own clothes, so when I told him to wear red, white and blue. He went crazy. At least he looks festive. Here the kids are out front by the American Flag.
We arrived and found a shady spot in front of the tree and on the curb. Good thing it got hot quickly when the parade started at 11am.
Someone took our photo and I love how no one BUT me is looking at the camera and smiling. Too bad, I wasn't looking another way it would make the picture better!
The best part of the parade was the last "float," the firetruck. Just before the truck drove up, a fireman ran up to the fire hydrant. He was cranking away to open it up, next came running 2 more men carrying a hose. Oh, uwh, we were in for it! Here they are soaking the crowd. Apparently, the crowd knew this and they attacked the firemen with water balloons. When it was time to move the truck, everyone was soaked. We walked away relatively dry and enjoyed watching the show. Maddy & Jack even walked away with enough candy to have said they went to a parade. Definitely not a typical parade but an enjoyable 4th of July activity.
We headed home, had a great bbq and naps and waited and waited for it to get dark. Geez, it took forever to get dark and start the fireworks. Only because I normally count down til bedtime. About 9pm, we headed out front to light off our firecrackers. We stayed outside for the most part, Maddy did run inside once. She HATES the noises they make. Only running in once is an improvement from last year when we watched them from the front window. I never have really liked sparklers and neither did the kids, at least the neighbors enjoyed them! We headed down to Anne Morrison Park to meet up with friends. About 10:30pm they started, we had a great view. Mike took some great shots with the "firecracker" mode on the camera. M&J loved running around and playing with friends more then guessing the next color to pop up. Lexi even stayed awake for the festivities.

This was our first year in Boise for the 4th of July. Normally we are camping or in Utah. We attended lots and had a great time. First up was the "We the People" Parade. Here are Maddy & Jack ready to go to the parade.

The finale finally came and all 3 were fast asleep for the car ride home. Next year we'll know what's hot and not in Boise for the 4th of July.
Report Card
We survived the month of June and had swim lessons all month long. It will be weird to not go but a nice break. In her class she had two friends, another Madison and Camden. She loved swimming with her friends. Maddy did fantastic and learned so much. The last day of class, they bring out the slide and let the kids celebrate!
Miss Potato Head
We HEART our little miss potato head glasses girl and don't forget the spit up that is constantly running down my chin!
Happy 4 months baby girl!

Slip n Slide
It's finally warm enough to run through the cold water and slip n slide. Jack has patiently waited since his birthday to try out this present. Hours and hours of entertainment.
And Miss Lexi had to try out her swim suit! She did pretty good til Maddy plopped her down in the puddle of water and Lexi got a first try of freezing cold water on a bare bum!
