Blessing and Summertime

Okay, this is going to be a long post, but I'm not sure if I have the energy to do more than one and if I don't do it together the second post probably wouldn't happen. So here we go.

We had the baby blessing over the weekend of the 24th. So of course we headed to St. Anthony for the parade. William had asked me, before I had the baby, when we were going to go to a parade so I told him we would try to make it to the 24th parade. The kids love it because they always get a ton of candy. We met my parents in St. Anthony, because we were running a little late and then Britton threw up in the van, and we were really lucky this year because we got to sit in the shade. Thanks Megan for letting us sit in front of your house.
Britton wore her swimsuit for most of the day because of course we didn't have a spare outfit with us, just the swimsuit. But they are ready for the candy.
All of the kids ended up with a lot of candy. And we had quite a few together.
Doesn't Bradley look so comfy?
The Blue Angels were doing an air show that weekend and Brandon got free tickets. I told him that I couldn't do two outdoor events in one day and there was no way Britton wouldn't go crazy and Caitlyn had told me that the jets were too loud when they did their practice runs over the house. So Brandon took William and Zach, our brother-in-law. They had fun, doesn't William look happy in the picture? I don't know who the other two people are, but their in front of a plan.
Brandon took a lot of pictures, some of just the sky, but here are the Blue Angels in action.

We blessed Bradley the next day. Brandon's folks came up and some of my siblings and my folks were there. William and Caitlyn were excited that they weren't going to Primary cause we were eating afterwards.

I had to get a picture of all the boys. William was so excited that the boys and girls are even in our family now.
So cute, and he even has his eyes open.

I have been a little lazy this summer, something about having a baby, so I haven't taken a lot of pictures. But we went to feed the ducks the other day, Brandon was home which is the only way I would even consider taking all four kids to the river, and I actually remembered the camera so here so go.
The ducks and geese were so happy to see us and our large bag of bread loaf heels.
Brandon thought that I should be in some pictures.
The kids were dancing for me.
William and Caitlyn had a lot of fun walking down this wall and balancing.
Bradley just hung out in his car seat in the stroller.
Britton wanted to balance on the wall too but she wasn't very steady. So that is a little of what has been going on at our house this summer.
