So then after riding Emma's bike for a little while we decided to try her on her own bike... and she did it!!
We are so proud of Megan for sticking to trying to ride her bike and not giving up. While watching the video you need to listen to what she says while she is riding, it is so cute. Now we have 2 little girls riding their bikes around the neighborhood. We will see what she will conquer next. We love you Megan!
Megan really didn't like the sound of the fireworks, and would always stand further back then everyone else while plugging her ears. At a time we couldn't find her but found her up at the house peeking out the window watching. 
Bryson on the other hand loved watching the fireworks, he kept making this cute face (above picture: bottom left) He just couldn't get enough. 
After lighting our own fireworks we headed over to the county firework show and arrived just in time for them to start with a great view. We had a great 4th of July, but I always seem to miss home this time of year..JPG)
Josh has been wanting to put this extra patio on for awhile, since our grass there really wasn't growing, and we were having drainage problems, so it was just yucky under the stairs.
Now we have a walk way and extra storage under the stairs. And I get to buy a little plastic pool to put on it since Josh didn't want me killing the grass, so now we have our patio to put it on. 
Megan was also really cute or annoying, I don't know which one, with the workers. She would sit out an talk to them as they worked, and she even gave all of them (except one, he didn't want it) a sticker in her little school work book. I kept yelling at her to stop bugging the guys as they worked, but one of them kept talking to her and said that he had a 3 year old. 
We love our new addition, we think that they did a great job, and thanks to the government stimulus check for paying for it!
Bryson just started to make this voice and it just cracks us up. It is hilarious. We have already watched this video over and over, Bryson even laughs at himself when he watches it.
This is how I felt at the end of the day, or maybe more towards the middle of the day.

I love this park because it is so pretty, shaded sitting area near the playground, bathrooms close, 2 different sizes of playgrounds, one for the big kids and one for the little, and they have a pond that the ducks and geese swim on. We come here every Wednesday to eat lunch with people from our Branch, but since we missed it we went on our own with a friend. Megan and Bryson loved checking out the ducks, I'll have to remember bread for next time, since once we got there they all came out of the water expecting some food. And since we didn't have any they all got back into the water, but Megan had fun chasing a duck around as she acted like a duck herself and Bryson joined in.
And with all the fun things to do at the park, Megan & Bryson loved playing with Cassidy instead. I thought that it was really cute. Megan would take her pacifier out and then Bryson would go get it and put it back into her mouth. It was a nice time out of the house. Thanks Tiffany for joining me at the last minute!
I am one to just sit in the boat since I am afraid of drowning, but I did venture out of the boat and go tubing, once, with my friend Laura.
Megan even showed me up and went out on the tube, she loved it and wanted to go back out. Notice her giving the thumbs up to speed up the boat. Hopefully she will be more like her Daddy!
We had a really fun time, thanks to the Gremmerts for inviting us, and for all the other great company, and great food too. Can't wait till next time!
We also let Bryson walk around this time instead of being in the stroller and he loved it, of course. And it had rained earlier and his favorite thing was to run through the puddles and splash. Every puddle he saw he had to step in, so we tried to block puddles from him.
We had a fun time at the zoo with Daddy, and it was the perfect day to be outside.
