Happy 4th of July!

Well, Jackson made it through his first 4th of July! This is of his 2 boy cousins closest in age to him - for now - Talon and Beau. He will be getting two more next week! One this Monday - and one the following Monday - assuming all goes as planned with his Aunt Ashley and Aunt Julianne. Take your pick of baby...small, medium, or large :) Boys, boys, and more boys! And this isn't even all of them! We are missing three more from my family - and four more from Matt's. Crazy. I had to take the picture from upstairs to fit them all in.

And what would the 4th of July be without Grandma's "God Bless America" march - my mom taught all of the kids that song - and gave them the hats and the flags - and they cannot and WILL not stop singing it! Taylor always asks to sing "Amereeki" - I am pretty much done with the song.

The March of the Cousins...We all went swimming at Aunt Lori's house for the 4th - Taylor has been in lessons now for two weeks - she is almost swimming all by herself - it is crazy how quickly they learn - and crazy how fearless she is. It makes me pretty nervous.

Swimming to the side by herself....

Coloring Disaster

The culprit....she knows she is busted. Serves me right for leaving her alone for 30 seconds...
