Addison's First 4th of July!

Here's mommy, Addison, and and our friend Tim hanging out at Grammy and Poppa's house on the 4th.

Addison's 4th of July outfit (minus the bow).

Makenna sure loves her cousin Addison. Every time we come over, she comes running up "Can I see baby Addison?" Then, she wants you to take Addison out of the carseat and take her over to the couch so that she can hold her and kiss on her. Sometimes the kissing, hugging, and patting of Addison's belly gets a little too rough for Addison, but Makenna is just trying to love on her!

Look at those long arms and legs!

I was trying to take a couple of pictures of Addison in her 4th of July outfit and then Makenna started jumping into the pictures too. It's always more fun with two! Makenna and Addison sure love the camera.

Tyler the pyro teaching his daughter how to be a pyro too. :)

Finally, we got the bow on her head.

Kelly, Tanner, Steve, and Tyler P. shooting off fireworks. The boys got so excited, they went to the fireworks stand 3 times!

Makenna with her sparkler and Tyler's very big sparker- a Roman candle.

Brynlee is SO cute! We love our little niece. I am SO glad she and Addison are close in age, so they can be really good friends. Brynlee loves to run her hands through Addison's hair whenever she sees her; Addison loves to suck on Brynlee's elbow, shoulder, etc. . .

Addison's first sparkler. She wasn't that interested in it.

Brynlee was FASCINATED by the sparkler!

No Roman candles for you Addison. . . . . .maybe next year.

Brynlee, I don't think your old enough for Roman candles yet. Better stick to the sparklers.

Jen teaches Brynlee the fundamentals of using the sparkler. That flashing light sure is fascinating.

Mommy looks horrible here, but you can see how much she loves her baby Addison! Look at how good she holds her head up; she is seriously a pro for her age at holding her head up.

I love this picture of Tyler and Makenna.

Blurry picture I know, but I love seeing how much fun Steve and Makenna are having and how much they love each other.

Two cousins! Addison and Brynlee are discussing the party- they are not as impressed as the rest of us were.

Catie, Makenna, and Steve going for a 4th of July swim. You gotta swim on the 4th!

Tyler Prescott showing everyone what a REAL firecracker looks like. It was suppose to last 45 minutes! The boys lit it on both sides to make it more interesting and the whole show lasted about 12 minutes.

Future pyro in training.

Steve and Makenna bonding- over fire.

Steve and I love the 4th of July, so we were very excited to celebrate Addison's first 4th of July. We went over to Grammy and Poppa Larsen's house so that we could go swimming, barbeque, and shoot off fireworks. Ty, Jen, Makenna, and Brynlee joined us along with our friends Tyler Prescott, Tanner and Kelly Prescott, and Tim and Catie Gregory. The boys had a little to much fun. . . they went to the firework stand 3 times!!!! Everyone had a blast!
