Our 4th of July & Parker's first hair cut

We had a great 4th of July. The night before we had a babysitter watch Parker while Josh and I took Peyton to see the Naturals play. We met our friends the Perry's there. Peyton loved it but was actually really looking forward to the fireworks after the game more than anything. However, during the 7th inning it started lightening and raining so we had to leave. Thank goodness for Shakes being on the way home. Josh pulled in and got the boy his favorite, a chocolate shake, which solved all of his problems. Here's a picture before the rain came.

On the 4th we headed over to my parents house. Rick, Jessica and my grandparents were all over there as well. Here's a few pictures from our nice relaxing day.
Rick and Jessica had bought Peyton some fireworks. He was so excited about them and couldn't wait to do them so we did them right after dinner even though it was still light outside.
However, Peyton wasn't too sure of them once they started so he and Josh watched from inside.
Little brother Parker loved Uncle Rick's firework show. Here he is with my Dad. Don't you love the goofy grin Parker has on his face?
This same week my friend Courtney came over and gave Parker his first hair cut. I can't believe he is old enough to need one. Josh thought his hair was starting to look like a mullet in the back so of course we can't have any of that around here. Is he not the cutest thing you have ever seen? By the way, he stood up with out any support for a few seconds yesterday for the first time. I can't believe he will be 11 months tomorrow! Oh my goodness, my baby is almost One and will be walking in no time!
