Randomness and The 24th of July

We spent the 24th of July at Matt's Parents house. It was very fun. We had good food, good company, and WAY to many fireworks. But honestly, is that even really possible. It was great.
Eli thinks that fire works are the greatest thing ever. He had lots of fun this year. His dad even let him light a few this year.

Grandpa Randy being a really good sport and taking Ethan on a bike ride. He was loving life.
Random cuteness of the boys. I can never have enough of this.
.... and Ethan.
Did I mention that I love this lady? She was so patient putting Ethan to sleep.

My boys being ever so cute. It is so fun to watch them becoming friends, more and more each day. Eli is so good with his little brother.
We had a little water slide fun before it got dark. Eli is a little crazy when it comes to anything that has to do with water.

Great Grandma Lueen with Eli and Ethan.
Did I mention that Eli was loving the fireworks this year? Smoke bombs were definitely a favorite. I think it is because his dad let him light them this year. WITH LOTS OF ASSISTANCE of course.

A bunch of the neighborhood kids where over playing at our house and they got the bucket game out. Eli was showing off his tough side trying to keep up with all the bigger kids.

Hatch Family Barbaque

So I come from a very large family. I married into a large family... SORT OF... He actually comes from only family of three, but when his mom remarried and his step dad has a few, and well, family is family if you ask me and now he has a kind of big one two, which I love by the way. It is what I am use to and I like having people around. So anyway, back to the happenings of this barbeque. It was at Grandma Lueens house. I could stop right here and go on and on about how much I love this lady, and how amazing I think she is, but I think I will wait on that post. But any who, every year we have a barbeque with her and her children. Which would be Matt's step dad, Randys kids and brothers and sisters. It is always so much fun and I seriously love hanging out with this group. They are very real and fun loving.

You will see from the pictures that being silly and spontaneous is not unusual for us.


This is all of Grandma Lueens Great Grandchildren. Well minus just a few. I think we are only missing Nicoles 3 kids.



This is all of Grandmas Grandkids, and their spouses. Again, only missing just a few of them.
Here Grandpa, I think that you need some ice cream too. Ethan is such a good sharer.
One ice cream was not good enough for this kid. He needed one for both hands.


Such a handsome little kid. So excited to have him join our family and become a fun new little cousin. Love you Corbin.
