My mom, sister in law and I took Finley and Declan to the 50th birthday of Des Moines parade last Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We were sitting in the sun with a great breeze off the water. Declan slept through the entire thing, but Finley watched and enjoyed most of the parade.

More Hiding.
More Clowns
Now hiding from the pirates. I wanted to hide too. My whole life I have always disliked the pirates.
The beginning of the tow trucks. My favorite part. A tow truck towing a tow truck towing a tow truck. It is GREAT.

Samantha’s school had their year end concert in Mid June. She has improved so much since starting last year. Next year at the middle school they do not have an orchestra program, but hopefully she’ll continue to play with the community orchestra.

We are a little behind on posting photos, but here is a picture from Samantha’s 6th grade promotion and party we had at our house the following weekend.
The parents from her school planned a great event complete with a FABULOUS slide show of pictures from the year.

We had a great 4th of July. Took Finley to the Normandy Park parade in the morning. He liked the candy, but wasn’t too fond of the loud horns and sirens. He hid from them most of the parade. Then we walked down to the Cove for the community event and had hot dogs, popcorn and smoothies before walking back to the car.

After the parade we came home for some lunch. Finley decided Cool Whip was a great lunch.
Later in the afternoon we enjoyed dinner at Tyler’s parents and then watched the City of Des Moines Fireworks from my mom’s porch. It was a great evening. Stayed in the 80′s while we watched the fireworks – no jackets required.

Declan turned 2 weeks old on Saturday. Sorry we haven’t been very good about posting pictures. Life with a toddler and an infant is crazy, but fun. Finley adores his new brother and has been “helping” out as much as he can.
Declan had his 2 week check up today and is doing great. He is up to 8lbs 5 oz and is 20 3/4 inches long. He has gained 1lb 4 1/2 oz since he was born.
Here are some pictures of our little man.
