4th of July

This is the first time in almost 4 years that we have been somewhere that celebrates Independence day the old fashion way!!

We went to the parade in Craig and then went to Klawock for the 4th of July games. The kids had a blast!!

For every competition that they participated they got $1.00 and for every event they won they got $2.00. I think that it's the city that does it soo they had given out a bunch of money.

Of course you can't forget the babies!! They had given out stuffed characters to the babies that were there!!

Here are some pictures

Here is a picture of Aidan in the wheel burrough race. He didn't win but Riley did. I didn't get a good picture of Riley in it.

Aidan won the cookie munch contest. Not sure how much more he could have fit in there!!

The 3 legged race. They didn't do to good on it but it was hilarious to watch!!

And of course you have to finish the day off with Tug-O-War!!

You can't make me smile

When I go to take a picture of Liam the first one his eyes are always closed. I think that he has a look on his face as " You can't make me smile for you"

My manly men

They thought that they were "cool" because they took off their shirts to ride their bikes.

CRAB FEAST!!

I think the pictures pretty much explain it!! We got the dungeness crab off the dock for $6.00 each!! We bough 4 of them and they were YUMMY!!

Lil Liam

Liam is such a light in my life!! All my boys are but with the age gap of 5 years between Liam and Aidan I had forgotten how much fun it is to watch babies discover things for the first time!! With his birthday comming up I can't belive how fast he is growing up!! He has recently figured out how to get stuck. He thinks that it's the funniest thing in the world, he will sit there and laugh instead of cry!!

Speaking of getting stuck, here is Aidan in his tinker toy bucket. Sean had to help extract him out of it.

Sandy Beach

There is this place called Sandy Beach, it is one of the very few "sandy" beaches around, about an hour north of us. We took the boys to it on the warmest day that we have had yet. They had a blast playing in the sand and in the sunshine

Aidan who HATES to be cold and wet was the first one to jump in!!

Liam loved the sand!!

It was an awsome family outing!! We will be going back!! Next time we will take stuff to make smores!! Yummy!!

We made it!!

Ok sorry that it has taken so long to update this!! We have been so busy trying to adjust to living on the island!! It is so beautiful here!! I am going to make multiple posts so that I can post alot of pictures!! The picture above was taken when the boys and I went for a walk!!
