4th of July

I taught Nix the "Yankee Doodle Song" for the 4th of July. He sang the song at my dad's house on Saturday, then he sang it for my Granny (who loves the song) on the 4th. Before he sings it he asks me how it starts, then while he sings he smiles the whole time and is so soft spoken, but he's so cute to watch. He's so sweet!

Fireworks on the grass!

We had a fun night with family and friends! And a fantastic weekend with everyone as well! I didn't gain nearly as much weight as I would have if I didn't ask my mom not to make any treats and to just focus on yummy healthy food. We ate so much yummy healthy food.

Tino ended up with a little burn on the top of his upper lip. I'm not sure if it was from him pointing the sparkler at his face or from a scorching hot roasted marshmallow.
I almost forgot. Nix and his cousin raced BMX together for the first time Friday Night. Nix came in 5th place in the main event and his cousin finished 4th. The best part was watching them ride the track a few times together after the race. They both did so well. Nix was red and sweaty after the main race. He worked so hard.
