A Little of Everything

This morning we set out early for the Frontier Days Parade. We left about half an hour before it was supposed to start so we could get seats. Of course, all of the old people were already there and camped out right up next to the curb so the kids couldn't have the spaces. We did find some though and sat to wait...it seemed to take forever for the thing to start and we were a block down from the beginning. The boys had fun though and got a ton of candy!

He slept like this the entire 2 hours we were there

Happy to be munching and waving his flag while waiting for it to start

Lol

He hates loud noises and the police sirens at the start didn't exactly please him

He was awake but cuddling

Finally out getting candy!

Not missing any!

Jax used my camera for a bit and here is a nice self portrait lol

Happy with his candy!

Our bag of goodies was way more than we needed!

It was funny because there were families on both sides of us so all of us parents were trying to get the kids to only get the candy that was straight in front of them. The parents on both sides of us had kids slightly older and more anxious to get the candy so they kept having to hand it to Jaxton even though we said it was fine. At one point Jax wanted to sit in the stroller for a bit and the kids were still getting candy and bringing it over to him. It was cute to know there are kids that can share like that.

The parade lasted forever...an hour and a half after it started we left. The kids were getting bored with it, Korbin was about to wake up and be ready to eat, and we were done. Some other people were starting to pack up also, so we wanted to beat the rush of traffic in getting out of the area also. I don't think we missed much more anyway.

When we came home it was lunchtime and naps! I laid down with Korbin and Jax, not expecting to be up there long, but that didn't work. I had to go in the first place because Jax wouldn't behave and lay down. I didn't think Korbin would sleep after such a long nap at the parade, but I was wrong. We ended up staying up there quite a while until I took him and we to my mom's for a few.

After the older boys woke up, I got my way and took Mr Bentley for a much needed haircut! I have been fighting for this for over a month now and finally got my way so I ran out the door. He did so good with it. At first he whined a little and then he just snuggled up to me the rest of the time and closed his eyes. He looks so different now!

Before

After

Since my baby hit the 4 month mark today I had to take my monthly picture. This was much more a challenge because every time I set him down he rolled over! Little stinker...he is growing up too fast!

I plan on doing some more pictures tomorrow since he wasn't really in the mood today. The older boys wanted their pictures taken too while I was taking these so I made an attempt at a picture of all three. Surprisingly a couple weren't horrible and it makes me want to try again with a little more effort! These were just snapped quick to please them. Jax wanted to hold Korbin first so naturally Bentley had to hold him too.

They can be so sweet sometimes<3 I love the random faces in the last one lol

The rest of the night we didn't do a whole lot. I bought a Wii Fit today from my cousin and so I had to use it. Jax thought it was fun to do the exercises along with me and wanted to play even when I had to stop because Korbin woke up and was hungry. Hopefully it helps me along with some of the weight loss and toning since running hasn't been easy to get done lately.

After putting the older two to bed, I went over to mom's to enjoy a few minutes by the fire and treat myself to a couple smores. I didn't stay too long because it was kind of chilly for Korbin to be out and I didn't want him in the smoke for long. Now here I am...with Jaxton still awake next to me.

Before heading to bed for the night I better share our pictures for the photo challenge. The theme was "empty." Jaxton was taking pictures at the parade while the tractors were going by since they weren't passing out candy so here is his people that are "empty" handed

And here is mine...the empty seats by the fire

Now off to cuddle with my babies<3
