Fireworks

The day after the 4th we went and got a whole bunch of fireworks.  It is very hard to take pictures of fireworks so I didn't even try.  But we did get some day time one that were really cool.

They went up really high then it would pop at the top and an army man attached to a parachute would come down nice and slow.  So Raelin and Ryker loved chasing their army men.  It was Toby's favorite part.

Landon it so long.  Look at this boy.  Oh but he is getting cutier everyday.  

So we played with fireworks until about 11 or so.  We had a nice big show.  And when things didn't work what do you think Brice did to fix it...lighter fluid!! Yep.  We had a firework show and a fire show.  Good memories though.  I really hope the kids had a good time.  It was all for them (ahem yeah like the boys didn't enjoy blowing things up).

4th of July

For the 4th we went down to Morgan's house...It all started when Toby and I got matching shirts for the boys so we had to do something so they could wear them.  So BBQ at Morgan's house where we had left overs from Saturday.  It was so yummy.  The weird part was that for the past 2 days the weather was WONDERFUL.  It was in the 70's and I was loving it.  So we spend about 3 days outside.

Oh man Russell looks so big next to Landon.  And man his head is HUGE.

Cute little cousins

Russell kept grabbing Landon's face.  I just can't believe that this is only a 3 month difference.  It's so funny how big the differences are between them.

Sweet little boy.  He is looking more human every time I see him.  Oh I love that red baby.

Daddy and son celebrating the 4th

I LOVE this.  So them huh?

What a beautiful place we live in to have the mountains in the background.  I have always lived in beautiful places.  Thanks mom and dad I an so grateful that you have chosen such great places to raise me.

Again a pose that is so Brice.

Ok so here is my super baby WALKING.  Yeah I know he should get a metal or something for being the best baby in the world for walk at 3 months old.  He is just so amazing.  Go Russell.  Hehehe!!

At the park

William and Angel (Brice's Brother and Sister-In-Law) invited us to go to the park for a BBQ for Angel's birthday.  It was so much fun and the food was super duper yummy.

We played and ate.  I got the soccer ball and Alaina and I played with it.  She was so cute.

I got THE cutest picture of Russell but Toby was making a funny face (so this was the next best) because I took a million of these pictures.  If you look behind Toby you can see a weird shaped thing.  It was a blow up bouncy ship thingy.  Angel's sister owns a party company so they brought it.  It was so fun for the kids.  I felt bad because so many of the other kids at the park wanted to play in it but they couldn't.

I know this is a lot of the same picture but I had such a hard time picking so I just put them all on.  I just love that face.  I get to wake up to that face every morning.  I have a hard time figuring out how I could wake up on the wrong side of the bed but sometimes I do.  Maybe I should work on that.

Alaina was so funny.  She was getting into everything.  She was eating all the food that people left on their plates.  Oh man you really had to watch her if you wanted to keep your food.

She is just so stinking cute.  I think I have more pictures of her then any other kid in my family.  And that is saying something now that I have Russell.

Some one else's drink I bet.

We had so much fun there eating and playing.  I love being home this summer.  We defiantly made the right decision not going to Canada this summer.  We are having so much fun being with family and friends.  Especially with little Landon here now and comparing the difference in size with only a 3 month difference.  Oh I am loving life!

Misc Pictures

Here are some random pictures.

Playing with mommy

She makes some of the funniest faces.

Love her in a pony tail.

He has started to such on his fingures.  It makes Russell more slobbery.  So I am a lot more wet these days.

Landon was hungry and thought that Morgan's nose would be the best meal.

Look at those eyes.

Russell fell asleep like this.  He is just so cute.  He is changing so much lately and I am having a hard time keeping up.

Fixing the Mustang

One day Morgan and Brice came up to my parents house.  Brice came to help Toby put the new clutch in the mustang.  So the rest of the family just hung out in the front yard.

Granddad with the new members of the family.

Alain is so cute.  I just LOVE this shirt.  Little suspenders. 

Here are the boys fixing the car.

Alaina was just being Alaina that day so I got LOTS of pictures of her.

She was being extra cute!

I got out the little pool and Sadie thought it was just a big water dish.

I LOVE this picture.  He was trying to belly flop in the pool.  Oh how I love this camera.

Little Landon...he is getting cutier and cutier.

He was having so much fun.

Russell was having a sad day until Aunt Morgan held him then he was out!!

Even though I had the fast camera I still didn't get the pictures of the REALLY cute things she was doing.  What a fun day...to bad the mustang is still not put all together.

Landon Thomas Somers

Here are some pictures of Landon's Birth Day.  I didn't want to try to tell the story.  I can't do better then Morgan can.  So if you want the story hop on over to the Somers' blog on the right here.

HUGE belly.

During Morgan's pressure waves there were a lot of helpers.  Her favorite I think was Raelin.  She was so concerned.

After Landon was born Alaina got very interested.

The new Somers family!

I love that I was able to be there.

Our little sumo wrestler.

Even though it was all about Landon I couldn't help taking some Alaina pictures.

He is so sweet.

Grammy and Granddad got to be there.

This makes 5 for them!!!

Now that Landon is born Russell looks so BIG to us.  His head is huge.

In this picture you can really see how much Toby and Russell look alike.

GOOD DAY.  Welcome to the family Landon.
