4th of July and other happenings

Well this week was a fun week for us. This is a random picture of Jackson, I seriously love taking pictures of my boys! They are just so darn cute!
I decided earlier this week to try and potty train Matty because I'm so sick of changing two kids diapers. So I tried and I failed! This is Matt using the potty as hat. Luckily it had nothing in it!

For the 4th we went over to where Tim dog trains and had fun with lots of people over there. Tim loves it because everyone loves dogs. I like dogs to just not as much as them! Jackson seriously went poop all over himself and his car seat while we were out dog training. Luckily I had a onsie in my diaper bag but I have never cleaned up so much poop in my life! The poop completely missed the diaper and went all over, isn't that the reason I buy the nice diapers seriously! Then we went up to Tim's family's house to celebrate birthday's, father's day, and the 4th. This is Steph Tim's sister with her fiance Carter. They are so cute together and we are so excited to see them get married on Aug 14th!
This is Tim's other sister Carrie, just relaxing and enjoying the kids!

This is Tim with his Grandpa Kersey. We love his grandparents very much and I am very grateful for all the love they show to me!

This is Tim's mom with Jackson. I thought Jackson looked so peaceful in his Nanny's arms.

Here is Matty, Spencer, and Carter taking a break from the pool to take a picture! The kids loved the pool so much and Matt and Carter were dumping water on each other. Well Matt was dumping water on Carter way more than Cater was dumping on Matt. We didn't have any swimming diapers so they had regular one's on and you all know that when they get wet you can totally see the little one's crack and its hilarious!

After playing in the pool and eating lots of yummy food I took the boys down to my parents house. Tim had to go work at the Parade of Homes so I was on my own for awhile. Luckily the boys fell asleep on the way down to Orem but it wasn't long enough they were so tired! We had another BBQ at my parents friends house and there was lots of people there. Then Matt decided to get in the pool with my dad and brother Reynolds. Matt loves swimming so much even when he's freezing and his lip is shaking. But then he got in the hot tub and he said it was a nice warm bath. He liked swimming in there!
Afterwards we went to the Parking Lot of Fire! This tradition started about 20 years ago when we moved here. They have the Stadium of Fire and we never went there but since my parents live next to a church parking lot we started bringing our fireworks over there and doing them. Now almost every family in my parents ward and all there kids and friends come and we all bring fireworks and food. There are lots of illegal fireworks and that's what makes it so much fun. This was Matt's first time going and he absolutely loved it! My dad was holding him most of the time and he would turn to him and say, "Oh my gosh grandpa!" Then he would clap and yell! What a cute boy! Luckily Jackson was dead asleep in the house and I checked on him every 10 mins or so and he never woke up.
