July 4th weekend started on Thursday July 3rd.  Every year the kids have a parade at school and it is so adorable.  Both kiddos were in it this year and I was so excited.  Josh had the day off, but we took the kids in this day specifically so they could attend the parade.  We both watched the parade and then Josh went to visit the kids and ended up coming home with one.  He is a sucker for his little boy.  All Bo has to do is ask and its over.  Josh and Bo had a guys day and after I got home from work Vallery and I got to snuggle. 

Josh had to work during the day on the 4th, but came home a little early to spend some extra time with the us.  We got out the pool and waterslide and made an afternoon of it.  That day Vallery also took her 1st steps on her own.  We were laying on the blanket playing and she stood up on her own and took 4 steps toward me.  I was so excited!!  Since then it has been a few steps here and there each day, but she has yet to take off completely. 

That night Josh got some sparklers for him and Bo to light off and we watched the fireworks from our deck.  It was a great evening with family and couldn't ask anything better.
