4th of July

Yes, perhaps the 4th of July was a few weeks ago but better late than never right? Our 4th of July was really fun. One of the best ever. We started the day off at Fred and Matt's BBQ in Seattle. Matt's parents, grandparents, and brother + his family were there as well. It was really relaxing and fun to just hang out in their backyard in the shade and eat yummy food. Fred bought a kiddie pool so there was much splashing fun to be had for Morgan.

After the BBQ we went back to Marysville to light off fireworks with our friends Lance and Gypsy + their two girls. Our neighbors seem to count on us to light off fireworks every year and this year was no different except they invited a ton of their family and friends to watch as well. Luckily we live next to Boom city where the fireworks are cheap and plentiful:)They cheered us on all night it was a good time. Our other neighbor behind us even came out and joined in on the fun too letting off some giant mortars. We were worried about Morgan's reaction to the fireworks but fortunately he had so much fun at Aunt Fred's he literally slept through the ENTIRE thing. Sleeping through the 4th of July in Marysville is seriously impressive. It sounds like a war zone is in your front yard until around 2am. Plus the fireworks we let off were right outside his window. We think he inherited Steve's heavy sleeping.

Now for a few pics...All the ones I took in the second half of the day didn't come out. I will blame it on my pregnant brain. :P

Morgan loves ducks, mainly he likes to nom them. Below this pic is Matt's neice (who is three) and Morgan, she is so sweet handing him his Elmo ball.








Above is Matt's Grandma with her great grandson only 4 or 5 weeks old.

This is Matt's Grandpa who Morgan was quite enamored with! Morgan just melted into his arms the first time he held him, Morgan actually layed in his lap for quite a while which is rare. Alot of time was spent on his lap that day. He kept grabbing his nose and laughing...it was so cute. I think Morgan is trying to ask "Mom can we keep him???" in this photo. It is sad Morgan will never have a Grandpa.


This was the end of the BBQ right before we left, Morgan was completely exhausted:)
