stars and stripes





We had a wonderful Fourth of July.
It being Brody's first,
I was having lots of first as well.
First time having Brody in the sun- Thanks, Mom, for the baby sunscreen.
First time dressing my baby in holiday attire- Girls are a bit more fun in this area.
First time having a baby around fireworks- Jeff's noise canceling headphones (minus music) worked perfectly.
He slept right through them.
We had a fun day with friends, 90+ degree weather, the Idaho Falls, card games,
and a two hour long car ride home trying to get through traffic.
One of my favorite things about Jeff is that he doesn't get irritated with mundane things such as traffic.
We made our way home safely in the right hand lanewith little Brody sleeping away in the backseat.
It's funny how before Brody came we took so many things for granted.
Quiet time just for talking is one of these.
We talked all the way home. It was nice.
Jeff had yesterday off from work and even took a break from homework to spend the day with Brody and me.
I was so grateful.

Happy Fourth everyone. I hope your's was as fun and fulfilling as our's was.

  1. I am so glad you had a wonderful family day out. Now you know why dad and I liked drives so much. We are away from all of the distractions of work, home projects, etc. It is the one time that I get him to myself. For you....it is when Brody sleeps:) xo
