July 4th and Summer Fun!

*July 4th 2013*

So I know we kinda cheated and celebrated July 4th the Saturday BEFORE the actual 4th, so so decided to support our local July 4th Parade here in RExburg, and carry on the tradition from last year when we went with some friends. (Yay for actually having babies this year and not being preggo and dying of heat! (Not that I wouldn't be EXTREMELY happy if I was preggo. but you get what I mean!) 

I looooooove parades! Manassa's parade is hands down the best parade I've been too. (Dont judge, I've been to a ton of parade but only in 3 states, so Im sure there are some pretty incredible ones out there!) But Manassa's actually take time to decorate their floats, and they are simply amazing! (Pictures to back that up in a few weeks after I attend their parade) But in the meantime here are some of Rexburg's parade... You'll see what I mean.. 

Lexi Jo waiting for the parade to start!
This photo makes me giggle because you can see her eyes!
 (I have to hold her hands to keep her from taking them off..)

"Mommy! I want my sucker back!!! it was YUMMY!!!!)
Thanks to the lady who gave her one btw... (not!)

Lexi looks a little milk wasted. So I added another picture to redeem her look. 

Excuse our grossness and just look at the cute baby!

Waving with Daddy!

Playing with Daddy during the parade! 

Gotta represent Idaho!

What's a parade without a good ol' marching band! 

This honestly, was the coolest float.
For those of you who have seen Manassa's parade, you get what I mean now? 

Lexi LOVED the horses!

 That was basically all we did that day! Fun huh? (*sarcasm*) 

Later we bbq'd some brats, and I took Lexi outside our apartment to look at other people shooting off their fireworks.

(Happy Birthday Nana!) 

So this week our apartment complex is doing their resident appreciation. So Monday, they gave all the residents of our complex free entries to "Rexburg Rapids." I didn't really know what to expect, but it turned out to be pretty fun! Until Lexington fell asleep RIGHT before we got there!! Silly girl! 

Isn't he a cutie!?

But that didn't stop Daddy from joining the fun! I think he was more excited than she was! Obviously... since she was STILL sleeping!!! 

Louis climbing the rockwall!

Our friend from the ward David, also climbing the wall. 

 They both made it, but were to excited to pose for the picture. So technically we could argue that it never happened, right?! Hehe...

The water was FREEEEEZING!!!

I couldn't let Daddy have ALL the fun!

She had absolutely no idea what was going on.. 

Lexi sure was the life of the party with all our friends! 

That sexy beast with a farmers tan is all mine! Getting ready to go down the slide!
(whoever thought my city boy would get a farmers tan!) 

That's Lexi saying, "What the heck is going on with all these pictures?!"

Way to represent 6th ward guys!
