Our 4th Of July!

I hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July weekend. Our family had a great and relaxing one. We did not do much on Saturday except watch the fireworks that Thanksgiving Point did and we watch that from the back of our car on the side of the road near our house, it was not very long this year but the boys seem to enjoy watching them. Most of our activities came on Monday, we woke up the kids early so we could go to the parade in Provo. We packed our breakfast which were donuts, granola bars and orange juice (I know real healthy) and went and found a spot to sit and watch.

Jaxson and Bryce enjoying their donuts and orange juice!

Who knows what Joe is thinking? But I thought is was a good shot of him.

Jaxson watching the parade start!

Bryce got a little scared by the jet that flew over us!

Now they are starting to get into it, watching the firetrucks, motorcycles, marching bands and their favorite, Cosmo (BYU Cougar mascot)!

Later that day grandma and papa came over for a BBQ and fireworks. We went across the street to our church parking lot to lite.

Jaxson and Bryce loved to do the Pop-it fireworks!

Jaxson watching Joe set up the fireworks!

Our case of fireworks we got this year! As the boys get older the bigger the fireworks will get I'm sure! So lets start out small!

Joe starting to lite the fireworks!

Ooooo! Ahhhhh!

We came back to our house to do the sparklers. Jaxson is trying to figure out two without burning himself!

Bryce trying the same thing!

Loving the sparklers!

So is Joe!

The end of a long day!

Yes we all have our matching 4th of July t-shirts from Old Navy, aren't we festive! I hope you enjoyed a little bit of what we did. Hope you had a fun and festive one as well!

Boys Golf Day!

Last weekend Joe wanted to take Jaxson and Bryce to the driving range! The earlier you start them out the better, right! We gave them toy golf clubs for christmas last year and they have asked their dad several times if they could go out with him and use them. I wish I could say those golf clubs held up nicely, but they didn't, so after this Joe is going to get them some better ones. They had so much fun with Joe, and Joe with them. This is what he has been waiting for, to teach them how to golf!!! They went out in the evening and got a bucket of balls and started hitting them. Joe gave them a few pointers (as much as a four and two year old can understand) and I was suprised how well they did.

Here are a few pics from them hitting the balls....

Like Father like Sons.....

Bryce trying it all by himself....

Jaxson trying it by himself.....

Bryce & Jaxson watching other people....

When they were done at the driving range they went over to the putting greens to learn how to putt.......

Again Joe gave them a few pointers and now they are trying it out....they love to play miniture golf so this was not so hard for them...

Joe giving Bryce a high five after making a 30 foot putt...yes I said a 30 foot putt...Bryce was so excited that he got the ball in the hole from across the greens and Joe was really suprised, more proud than suprised.

Over all they had a great time and did not want to leave. I think Joe will take them back soon, he really loved and enjoyed having them with him in his favorite place.
