THE 4TH!

We had a really fun 4th this year! There was a huge celebration in downtown Houston that we went to and there was nearly 1.5 million people there! The manager and his wife got a suite down town and we met up with all the apx salesmen and their families for chicken and potatoes and lots of good food and to visit and stuff before the fireworks. After we ate and the sun went down so it wasn't quite so hot, Ryan, Peyton and I went and walked around the park and looked at all of the stuff. Peyton was so happy to be outside in her stroller walking around! She loved it! After we walked for a bit we went to a huge outdoor Clay Walker concert! It was so much fun and there were so many people there! We were so far back that we couldn't even see him and we weren't even in the very back! :) But we could hear great so it was still so fun! After the concert we walked back to the hotel to watch the fireworks from the suite. The whole wall was a window so we had such a perfect view! We thought it would be better to be inside with a little baby! The fireworks we watched were the biggest firework show in the nation! It was amazing! We had such a fun day.. but we sure missed being back in Boise celebrating with our families! I made Peyton a little 4th of July tutu and headband! She hated it but it was so cute!At the Clay Walker concert! There were tons of people! You cant even see in this picture how far back it goes! And those lights in the top left corner is the stage :)

When we were walking back to the hotel we ran into a huge group of Muslims dancing and singing.. and of course Ryan jumps right in and dances with them which was fine with them, but while I was recording him I was laughing at him and one of them comes up to me and starts getting mad saying that is wasn't funny and it wasn't for fun and it was for your "spiritual inside" Ryan is the one with with white shirt and the black hat!

Here are just a few random pictures!

I love this picture. Peyton fell asleep in Ryan's lap holding his fingers with both her hands! Shes such a sweet little girl!

Here are a few cute videos of our baby girl! Lately Peyton has been doing a fake cry to get attention.. as if she doesn't get enough attention already! :) It is quite funny! And she has been talking and laughing so much! Nobody can make her smile like Ryan can!
