July 4th Weekend

We had another busy weekend over July 4th. Friday night we went to a friend's barbeque. Saturday night we headed to Topeka for my aunt Shelly's annual Independence Eve party. We watched and listened to lots of fireworks. Kyler was not frightened of the noise at all and he loved the pretty ones lighting up the sky. In fact, he was wide-eyed throughout the show and fell asleep as soon as it was over.

Kyler looking a little patriotic.

On Sunday morning he headed to Wichita and met some friends for lunch. They live in Colorado and are expecting a baby boy in September. Brett is excited that Kyler will have a little friend in Colorado, one more reason to get out near the slopes. Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Brack's for the family gathering. Grandma Tammy's 50th was on Friday so we celebrated with ice cream cake. Yum! Kyler must be used to his own bed because he slept in about 30 minute increments all night. Mommy and Daddy were pretty worn out by morning. But the birthday breakfast on Monday morning in the nearby Amish community of Yoder made up for it. After breakfast we headed back to the farm for lunch with some close family and friends.

Thankfully when we got back home Kyler was a good baby and slept 6 hours. He was a very happy baby on Tuesday which was very enjoyable. Even last night he slept pretty well and woke up happy again. When he woke up at 6:00 Brett went in and turned on his mobile and we could hear some happy squeals coming from his room. What an awesome way to start the day! Below are some videos of some more happy moments in Mom and Dad's bed this morning.
