4th of July!

We had a family fun filled 4th of July! We decided to stay home, swim in our pool, bbq some very yummy food, and light off some fireworks! Holidays are always a little bittersweet for me here because back in CO we ALWAYS celebrate holidays with our families and friends...usually with a big bbq or something special...but Vinny and I have learned how to just focus on the positive and make it special even when we are alone..because even though we don't have any family here, we have our cute little family and we want to make it special for our boys!
Anyways, Tucker is OBSESSED with fireworks...he loves them. Vinny decided he was only going to buy a few and they would be satisfied with those, but after all those were used up, he and Tucker ran back out to one of the stands and got a few more! (I had a feeling that was going to happened..but oh well..it was fun) Trey is not a big fan of fireworks, mostly because they are loud and he has sensitive little ears! Which is why he has cotton balls stuck in his ears...he said they didn't help, so he spent most of the night inside. Finally when Vinny was lighting off the last few I convinced him to come outside with me and he watched the rest..with his hands over his ears! Ty fell asleep before we started the fireworks and slept straight through!
