Our 4th of July!

For the 4th of July we went to the Parade in West Jordan and the kids had fun.. I will say that the Parade is getting boring and it seems all it is are people and they're Political signs. Kinda annoying! Anywho, the kids had fun and that's what matters right? Lance had to work since they got Monday off instead of Saturday. So we went to hang out at my parents house after the parade till he got off work and came down to meet us.

Then on Sunday we had a BBQ at my parents and since my brother in law had to work that day we went down and did fireworks Monday night. The kids really enjoyed it, until Sadie got burned by the Sparkler! She had done probably 3 of them and decided that she wanted to do one more so my Mom was holding her and she kept telling her not to touch it and sure enough Sadie touched it! She freaked out and we ran her inside to see the damage! My mom felt horrible, but it was not her fault at all. Sadie was just a bit to curious. So we got it cleaned off and got some medicine on it and then on Wednesday of that week the kids had their 2 year check up so we were able to have the Doctor check it out and she did have 2nd degree burns so they put some Silverdine ( not sure if that's the correct spelling) on it and wrapped it and we left that on over night and then by the next day we took it off and now it's almost all cleard up and with no scaring. I was not sure I wanted them to use the sparklers, but we let them anyway and maybe next year will be different. But I am sure the kids will still want to use them. We are just glad it was not worse and it's all better now!
Anyway, so here are some pictures from our 4th. Enjoy!

Sadie and Grammy, right before the burn!
Sadie showing me her bandage from the Doctors, the nurse was cute and put the same color of wrap on it as her outfit. Sadie liked it after the nurse went away! She was not very happy and she had just given her a shot as well so she really wanted her to leave her alone. Both kids were very brave that day at their appointment.

Kids are so hard that way - you want to protect them, but they have to experience things for themselves. Cole kept trying to fall of the couch, and finally, I just grit my teeth and let him fall. Traumatic, but he hasn't done it since. :)
