7-1-10 Can't Wait for the 4th!

The one thing that I will appreciate when this wellness challenge is over will be that I won’t have to journal every single day. I think a few times a week will suffice, especially since there are some days when I don’t have a whole lot of anything important to say.

My Teagan was a whole lot sweeter today. I really got to enjoy his cute little face. He’s starting to talk and really know what I’m saying, and it’s nice to feel like we can communicate with each other.

Jacob and I lit fireworks tonight with the boys. They just thought it was so much fun, especially those little popper things that you can throw. Even Teagan was throwing them, and he’d laugh after every single one of them. So cute. He was kinda scared of the fireworks that made loud popping sounds. I remember Easton being like that when he was a little guy. We went to a couple fireworks shows with the ex’s family back then, and my cute little Easton would just cling to me with all his might when the explosions got too loud.

I love 4th of July. It’s one of my favorite holidays, probably my very favorite one. I just love that it’s warm outside and I love that we celebrate our nation’s independence. I always get a little teary eyed when I hear that one song during a fireworks show, “I’m Proud to Be an American”. It’s a super fun holiday with good eats, good company, swimming, and fireworks.

Tomorrow we’re heading out to the river again with my pops. his b-day is Saturday and mine is Monday, so we’re going to celebrate the both of them over at my parents on Sunday. It will be a super fun time. No pictures for today, but hopefully there’ll be some tomorrow. My next investment, I’m hoping, will be a nice point and shoot camera. Mine is too expensive to take around with me. I don’t like to risk anything happening to it. Plus it’s bulky and heavy. Great for professional use, but not necessary for every day use.

Well I’m off to cuddle up to my husband. It’s been another long day. I’m grateful that I was able to spend this day being a mom to my little sweethearts and a wife to my always appreciative husband. It’s always nice to know how much your family loves you, to feel cherished and desired. It’s certainly not something I take for granted in the least bit.
