Because of the new baby, we didn't do a whole lot for the 4
th this year. I think Mat was a little
disappointed, but we still had a really good time relaxing with the family going to the
Tooele Parade! The kids had a blast collecting as much candy as they could and watching the horses and bands in the parade. It was even cool enough for
Berklie to wear a jacket, perfect parade weather!! Later in the day we had a picnic in the backyard complete with popcorn chicken from
Walmart..it doesn't get any better than that folks...if you're 4 or 2 years old. :) We set off a few fireworks that night, and all in all, had a great day.
This might be a first, Berklie sharing her beloved blanket with Oaklie. Carter and Berklie love their little sister and fight over who gets to hold her first. 
Berklie wants to be just like mommie! If you can't tell, she is trying to "pump". Do you have milk in there Berklie? Ha ha ha. I love it! She cracks me up.
Carter is really sweet with Oaklie. He would hold her all day if I'd let him. He loves that she tries to suck on his arm and hold his hand.
The many faces of Berklie. I am trying to capture all the silly/cute faces that Berklie pulls. She loves to make us laugh with her silly faces. 
This one she calles "funny face".
Carter has loved watching the garden grow this year and he's hooked on the peas that we are growing. We actually have to limit him on how much he eats because he's made himself sick a few times. It's awesome that he loves them though. 
We tried to get them to pose for the camera, as you can see, we didn't have a whole lot of success. But, they are still pretty darn cute.
