Celebrate Good Times!

Dastrups also had a good Fourth! Ours started out with a pancake breakfast/bike parade at the church (although I didn't even attempt the breakfast since Brigham was working-- we ate before we went) which was a huge hit with both Benjamin and Jacob. Jacob chased those bikes and scooters until he was too tired to do so any more.

Once Brigham was home, we played some water baseball and then Benjamin started a waterfight by dumping a bucket of water over Brigham's head. Jacob also thought that was hilarious.
Then we headed off to some friends' house for a BBQ and fireworks. It was Benjamin's first time experiencing fireworks, and he LOVED every minute. It was a great day!

Totally good pictures! I can't believe all of the boys cooperated all at once.

I like the idea of the bikes and parade. Fun times. I've also learned wisdom to feed my children prior to ward meals. Just easier.

All the kids at the bike parade got one. He wore it proudly for the rest of the day.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
