we had a BIG day on the fouth this year! Since this was the first Fourth that Jace would understand and be alert lol I wanted to do as much as possible!
It all started at 6 A.M. when we got up to get ready for the West Point Days Parade. Jace slept the whole time we got ready so we had to go in his room and wake the poor little sleepy head up. He was so confused at first cuz he usually sleeps till 10. Once he saw that we were ready to go have some adventures he got super excited!
My sister in law Joran, my sweet little nephew Benson, Jace and I waiting for the parade to start
Cute cousins!
My sweetheart and I on the Fourth!

Hangin' with the big boys

After the parade we headed over to the park cuz we had entered Jace in the baby contest. It was quite the little adventure. It was so fun going up on the stage and showing off my sweet baby boy. He loved the attention and he danced and giggled the whole time (mostly because his grandmas were right up front smiling, dancing and pulling faces. haha priceless)
Mommyand Jace waiting for the contest to start.
After the baby contest we were all hot and hungry so we left to get some food. Every where was packed so we ended up at Dennys. Its always such an adventure with Braxton and Jace lol. They fight and play and laugh and tease oh man those two are a handful but so entertaining.
After food we went back to the park to enjoy some of the vendors set up at the park. Spencer played on the 3 on 3 basketball and Braxton played on the toys at the park for hours. Jace had been up since 7 without a nap so my sweet little boy crashed in my arms. BEST feeling in this whole entire world!
This right here makes every hard, sad, discouraging day worth every second to look down and see my sweet baby sleeping in my arms is the absolute best thing ever!
Excuse the sunburn lol like usual I let myself get FRIED :/
After Jace napped for awhile we left the park again we had to go let our dogs out and we relaxed in the air conditioned house for awhile SO NICE! We decided to get dinner before we went back to the park to settle in for the fireworks. We went to Olive Garden YUM it suprisingly was not crowded AT ALL everyone must have been bbqing.
Once we got back to the park we hung out and enjoyed time with family. Jace was a little nervous about the fireworks I think mostly because we had a front row seat. It was cute tho he never cried he just wanted his mommy! I LOVE that!
Poor little man was so exhausted he passed out on the walk back to the car ofter the fireworks. He slept through all the fireworks and traffic going on around him!
All in all we had a good fourth of July my family is all that matters and getting to spend time with them is priceless!
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday!
