july so far

steven got to have a long weekend for the 4th and it's always fun to wake up to steven being there for 4 days in a row! we went to see cars 2 on friday with the boys and they all did pretty good. not as mesmerized as they were with toy story 3 last summer. i thought it was okay-but the boys and especially bastien said he liked it a lot! for the 4th we went to a bbq at steven's brother's house then went to my mom's for another bbq for her birthday. that is a definition of a food coma right there. everyone in my family randomly brought a dessert, too. so we were overloaded on sweets as well as food. which is never a bad thing. "lets eat til we throw up!"

(i love you if you know who said that, he's our favorite.)

the berkeys gave us some sweet firework fountains before they left and it totally MADE our fourth of july. we didnt go see a firework show, which i was bummed about but the kids thought this was good enough.

my brother vuna's little boy-sione

some were a little scared of the sparklers. haha!

finnick and kensley-3 months apart.

i was driving out of the apartments when i saw this crazy dark cloud coming. it turned out to be a huge dust storm, that the news liked to call a haboob. and then continued to show the clip of it in between every other news story for the next 5 days.

i love comfy looking babies. we got home and finn's clothes were soaked from sweat from sitting in his carseat out in the blasted heat. so i stripped him (halfway) and he instantly felt cool and comfy.i love to hurry up and get him out of his seat and cooled off. cause i know it feels so good to cool down in the a/c after coming out of that heat!

we tried the bumbo but his head is still a little wobbly, here is good brother bastien making sure his head feels okay.

-its habib haboob!
