our fourth 2010

happy fourth of july!

hidden oaks style

the hidden oaks fourth celebration was fantastic

can i just say i've been envisioning being a part of this parade since brig's inception a year ago?

my child needed to be on this float

and he was, just seated in my lap at the back of the bed.

after the parading we all headed over to the neighborhood breakfast and enjoyed sunshine, company, and of course, breakfast

brooke looking quite festive

mom skirt and all

bella and gabi

don't hate them cause they're beautiful.

they're just as sweet as they are beautiful.

what?

jude and minie fighting?

never.

and

now

look out for brig over load....

i've been saving this janie and jack outfit for weeks

the girls for a little brig break

over all

it was so nice to be around so many people i love for the fourth.

having said that i felt really bad leaving daddy behind.

brig looked amazing but he was quite fussy all day

i think it was like 100% over stimulation what with the parading then sidewinder falls-ing

he finally perked up and was allowing other people to hold him.

my uncle tim put him on his lap and after a few minutes he started squawking.

so i went to pick him up only to reveal a very large poop stain he managed to leave on tim's leg. 

i felt horrible. 

brig felt great. 

i promptly bought a larger size diaper the next day.

happy fourth america!
