4th of July

Happy 4th!! It was a good week for our fam and we spent several days at the lake enjoying the holiday.

On Wednesday the Taylors came up and enjoyed some time on the water with us. The boys had fun playing together and Peyton got to experience his first time in the water.

KK has been teaching Fulton to clap and are finally starting to master it. Although he will not do it on command, maybe for a puff or something though.

We enjoyed Aunt Keri and Uncle Pete  because they had to go back to work and couldn't stay and play with us all week.

Thursday and Friday were filled with relaxation, boat rides, swimming and absolutely no schedule. Don't let this frown fool you, we had fun.

 Thursday we went for a really long ride and it turned out to be this little guys nap time.

He woke up all smiles Friday morning and we spent some time watching Pops and daddy put together a play set. We'll just say right now you have to turn your head a little to the left and it looks completely straight. Matt keeps reminding me that it's a work in progress.

We also got ready for lunch time boat ride and wanted to stop somewhere and swim. Fulton's float was no where to be found. The darn thing had blown off the pier. Argg. I was a little sad that my 19.99 float was gone. We went one direction, slowly riding along the shore, hoping to find it... a good 20 minutes. We came back to the pier and I said just give it up, it's a goner. We headed out in the other direction and it was floating on the shore behind the pier next to us. Gotta love that. Matt jumped out, risked his life as he would say, and rescued the float. Hooray.

We stopped out on the lake and had lunch. Fulton loved it. Or well, he loves everything about the water and the boat, but food is always fun too.

 And then we both snuck in a little cat nap on the way back.

So this past week we gave Fulton a graham cracker for the first time. Ugh... it makes a huge mess... but he likes it. I mean how did he not feel it all up his nose. Gag.

Saturday our sweet friends the Tapias came up with the twins. David and Victoria are about to have a birthday soon. They are too much fun.

Fulton and David had a blast playing in the back of the boat while Victoria got some sun time in with her daddy.

Let's just say these two boys are sneaky and they are both paci stealers too. David had already stolen this paci from Victoria, but it was just a few minutes later that Fulton had his turn with it. Good times celebrating the 4th of July!
