You've Got a Friend In Me

Ian is obsessed with the Toy Story characters and even more so now that the new movie came out!

We bought him "Jesse" and "Buzz" to go along with his "Woody," wrapped them & put them aside for his birthday next month. However, we couldn't wait until then to unveil Buzz. We got the moment on video & it was priceless. Now it's adorable to see Ian (and the 5 neighbor boys) running through the yards with their Buzz's & Woody's.

Buzz & Woody (and Brownie) have enjoyed many nights with Ian,
Outings,

and meals! A boy & his treasured, beloved toys... too cute!

Happy 4th!

"Oooohh! My first sucker!"

"Yum!"
Here's Ian at the parade giving his best smile & wave in the hopes of getting some candy thrown his way. Sadly we were towards the end so a lot of the floats had run out of candy by this point!

...and I caught Ian giving his little sister a big kiss - awe!

It was a great weekend of celebrating - but it was HOT! We appreciated the sunny, blue skies though & enjoyed a couple of cookouts with friends along with 3 full days of family fun. We were hoping for a nice family pic in our red, white & blue but the kids were too hot to cooperate :) Can't say I blame them!
