July 4th

One day when I look back on this summer I will think "wow we did nothing, ever. Poor Ty" Seeing as it is July 13 and this is my 1st post of the month. I literally never ever have time to blog anymore and I feel so bad but going to school with a baby is killing me. Anyway we have been doing a ton of fun stuff this summer and I do have pictures (duh) its just a matter of getting them on here and writing witty commentary to them. I did at least want to get the 4th of July on here because its always fun and memorable and this year was no different. I realized that it was almost July 4th on July 3rd. I had totally forgot about it and the famous Circle C neighborhood parade. I have always wanted to be in this parade and after 21 years of my parents living here, I was finally home on the 4th and I finally had a reason to be in it and that reason's name is Ty. SO after school I picked Ty up and with my fail proof plan went to the Dollar Tree for all the only $1 decor my heart desired. And then we got there and there was nothing left. Nothing! How dare the Dollar Tree be out of 4th of July decorations on July 3 at 5pm. Luckily I was able to find more then enough next door at in the Target dollar section so crisis adverted. After I got all of the red white and blue stuff I felt we needed, we went home to decorate the trike for the parade. Everything was going along swimmingly until all of the sudden Ty didn't want me decorating his trike anymore. He went into a crazy rage that I like to equate to when bulls see the red cape and all they can think to do is to try and kill the red cape waver. Its like Ty saw the red white and blue foil stars I was attaching and lost it. He ripped everything off all while screaming "no mama, no mama, no mama". So I put the trike away and decided it would be best to wake up early, before him, and decorate it in the morning. That plan ended up working out much better. He was well rested and happy in the morning and welcomed all of my decor with open arms, even helped me attach it all. Hoss and her kids came in their wagon and we had a nice time at our little parade. Here are some pics from the parade and then from my mom's birthday lunch at Hula Hut which was fun I suppose as long as your definition of fun is chasing after a 2 year old next to the lake because he won't stay in his high chair and everyone else just stays inside and leisurely eats their meal. But no it was a good time it always is out there, I just love the atmosphere and wish I could more often.
