Early Independence


Jace is a bit obsessive about money. He may get it from me because I feel like I'm always telling him, "It's too expensive," or " We don't have the money for that." He is constantly asking for ways to earn money, and meticulously counting every. single. penny. Usually three or four times.  :)

Recently he has been asking (and asking and asking, and asking some more) to buy some firecrackers he saw on display at Wallyworld. After much inner turmoil, I relented (well, Brian trumped me) and off we went to get some fireworks. And of course you can't get something for Jace without getting it for Samuel.

AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAD TO LIGHT SOME THAT VERY NIGHT!!!! 

My favorite part was when Logan was just ho-humming around and then the sparks started to fly and he FLIPPED and waited by the back door until we were done, haha!


The boys were in heaven - all of them. And I was actually pulling double duty with Isaiah in my arms and the camera slung around my neck... which is why there are none of him today!



Ooooohhhhhh pretty!


...and LOUD!!!


The best part is we still have several fireworks left to enjoy up to July 4th.  :) Light 'em up!!

Pancakes and Underwear

Summertime is in full swing around here. This week the boys are in their first week of four church camps, so Isaiah and I have the house all to ourselves. It is quiet and I'm a little sad missing the noise!

The first week of summer I taught Jace how to make pancakes and he has asked me (almost every day since) if he can make us pancakes in the mornings. One groggy morning I reaaaaallly wanted to sleep in a bit and told him, "yes." He was off like a shot before I changed my mind.









Our chef made us quite a yummy breakfast! Of course, Isaiah seems a little jealous that he doesn't get to participate. Patience my little one, soon enough!



After our sticky breakfast, what is the next order of business? Well, running around with underwear on our heads of course!! 


Not to be outdone, Jace gets in on the playtime :)


Eventually, I did at least get underwear on his HINNEY.
