4th of July!!!

I love the 4th of July, its so fun for everyone, especially in Salina. The kids are just now starting to enjoy the park, thought the games aren't that great, but it keeps them occupied. Here we are riding in a fire truck, this is always exciting for the kids because they are mesmerized by the fire trucks, Jaxon just sat there as we rode around town with such a serious face, like he didn't want to miss anything. He loves having Aniston and Emerson to play with, and I can't lie I like having K'Brina to play with too... We arrived a bit late, cause for some reason it takes me forever to get the kids up, fed, bathed, and dressed. Freddie rode his bike and we were to pick him up on the way, but because we were running late he rode the full 20 miles. But he liked the exercise.
Here is Jax at the parade, he was in awe of all the horses, tractors, and dump trucks that drove by, he just sat and stared. It is such a great day, you get to let the kids have fun, and at the same time you get to see a lot of people you haven't seen in a while, the day is filled with so many things to do that your busy all day having fun.
We went to the rodeo hoping the kids would behave, but at the last minute we decided to leave Dylan with my mom and thank god we did because Jaxon was enough to handle. Digging in the dirt and trying to throw rocks, when he did pay attention he liked what he saw, but that was only for a few short minutes. His favorite thing about the day was using the outhouses, "sick" Everytime we saw one he instantly needed to go, so I took him pee, and then 15 min. later he needed to poop, he has been potty trained for 10 months and we haven't had an accident for a while, but you still can't not believe them when they say I need to pee or poop, so we used 3 outhouses that day and each time was so disgusting.
The fireworks were pretty fun, the ones at the rodeo were the best I have ever seen them and this year Jaxon stayed awake for them. We let off some fireworks the night before at my mom's house, the kids were so excited, but it was a little nerve racking. All in all it was a great couple of days and I can't wait till next year. The 4th is my favorite time of summer. It goes by way too fast.
