4th of July

I'm ages behind in my blogging - life has just been crazy. I have the beginning of fall festivities to blog and realized I haven't even started what little (where did my camera go this year!??) I have of summer to blog about! 4th of July has always been my favorite. Even when I was little. There's just something that Rupert does right about the 4th -- really right.  I love this magical little town & think my little kiddos are fans too!  My Grandma Bellem's house is just a block off the square and the absolute BEST seat in the house for the fireworks show .... we couldn't pass it up!

Kashton went through a "cheeser" phase this summer :: here he is hamming it up & excited for the fireworks. (he didn't know what he was in for yet, but they didn't dissapoint! He loved them!)

Despite the heat over the 4th this year we still ventured to the Rupert parade.  Jackobi loved every, single second.  She stood perched at the corner the entire time, waving to every person or float that went by.

Kashton on the other hand, was much happier in the shade armed with popsicles.

Jackobi's favorite part of the parade was seeing Timber hand out candy.  She loves cheerleaders and everything about them -- uh oh!!
