4th of July 2012!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY 2012!

We had a great time this year.  This year we spent up in logan.  We watched the stadium fireworks from a small lookout point (McCord's brilliant idea).  Talia loved the fireworks, never cried, and seemed simply fascinated by them.

Talia watching fireworks. Her first 4th of July.

After the stadium fireworks on the night of the 3rd, we went to the pancake breakfast on the morning of the 4th.  McCord's favorite thing!  It was so good.  I also won a small roasting pot at the auction for $10 - sweet!

That night, we had a FABULOUS barbecue with the Larsen's.  It was wonderful.  I snapped some shots of Talia playing with her grandpa Paul.  I love that he has his grilling apron on still.  He's great with the grill.

This is a good picture of Paul, I think.

After the barbecue, we had homemade oreo icecream and homemade raspberry icecream.  Yum yum yum.  We lit sparklers for the kids and lit our own fireworks.  McCord and I love the new laws that were passed last year on legalizing aerial fireworks, so ya, we totally go all out on those and bought a ton this year.  Mixed with everyone elses fireworks that were there, it turned out to be a great firework show!

Here are some pictures of Talia in her 4th of July outfit.  I couldn't just pick one.  I'm usually so good at that, but with her pictures...Oh!  I just love them all.  You're lucky I'm only posting 5 and not way more.  Enjoy!

TALIA'S FIRST FOURTH OF JULY:

(Talia, 2 months old, 07/04/2012)

Talia 2 months old

We love our sweet little Talia.  She is such a bundle of joy and makes us SO happy.  She rarely cries.  She's slept through the night every since 7 weeks old.  She giggles and babbles a little.  We just love her to much!

I decided to post some pictures that I've taken of McCord and our baby Talia.  He's such a good father.  He snuggles her, tickles her, and sings "The Scotsman" to her.  She loves him. And he's got her wrapped around her little finger.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Sleeping through the night

Talia has slept through the night twice this week. 7 weeks old and she's able to sleep through the night. Our goal was 6-8 weeks. Hurray for my little one! I'm so proud. Here are some cute pictures of her when she falls asleep. She snuggles up to this favorite blanket of hers, sucks on the edge of it and falls asleep with it by her face.

Talia 1 month old (4-6 wks)

Can't believe she's a month old already.  Time just flies by so so fast.  She has such a personality and we love her to pieces!  I'd like to add that these pictures were all taken on my new iPhone, that I absolutely love.  Hope you enjoy the pictures posted.

After sunday naps.

McCord's favorite picture of her.  He loves this cute smile.

Had to post this funny face. Her eyebrows have so much expression.
Larsen eyebrows?

(Obviously, this time I was trying to photo shoot her, she wasn't the happiest. She is still adorable even when she's tired. =) )

She loves playing on the floor.

Playtime in her bouncer.
