We had such a great 4th of July weekend!! Already wishing to do it again. I love 4th of July, it is my second favorite holiday.

Ryan’s last day of work was Wednesday so we enjoyed an EXTRA long weekend with fantastic friends, enjoying beautiful Colorado!

We kicked it off by heading to Wash Park on Friday morning to watch Ryan, Justin and Jen, run a race. 2014-07-08_0001 2014-07-08_0002 2014-07-08_0003 2014-07-08_0004 2014-07-08_0005 2014-07-08_0008 2014-07-08_0006 2014-07-08_0007 2014-07-08_0009 2014-07-08_0010

This is our first family picture not holding him. He is growing up so fast!

We had the perfect spot for fireworks but of course my phone died and I didnt bring the camera so no pics 🙁 But it was epic. Liam and Kason loved it!!

On Saturday Ryan came back down to A-town to help Bren and Katie move so the rest of us went on hike.

See that empty back pack…yeah this kid threw a giant fit and refused to go in it. No joke, he hiked up hill a mile and half. I had the pleasure of carrying him the rest of the way, with some help from Patty and Ashley thank God!!

He picked me a flower. Sweet little thing! Totally redeemed himself for the tantrum earlier.

He got so tired at the end but refused to take a nap when we got back to the condo! Little stinker. So we headed into town as soon as Ryan got back.

OK the tv was on the other day and Liam was playing, completely avoiding it as usual, and Angelina Ballerina came on.He actually watched it. Since that day he does ballet now.

I love this picture. It reminds me of the pictures we took when were dating. Just so happy and not self conscious in front of the camera. Just true big smiles! I love him!

Not going to lie, we got made fun of all over town. Only made it more fun!

Ashley and I stayed up till 4am on the last night talking in the hot tub. We came inside and thought the clock was broken!! Couldn’t believe we stayed up that late. So worth it though, we never get to hang out like that anymore. It was a nice break for sure!
