4th of July

I'm just now getting to our 4th of July! We had a great and fun day. I worked out in the morning and then came back and grabbed the family to go to a gym BBQ. It was a blast! The boys had so much fun swimming with their Daddy and Carly hung out in the stroller with me. Afterwards, we went home, took naps and then went over to my parents to enjoy some steaks.

I attempted to take some pictures of the kids. Let's just say that about 100 pictures later (not even kidding), I gave up. Here is the anatomy of taking a picture with 3 kids.

1) Tell your kids to smile, and one will ... albeit crazily

2) Tell one of your kids to stop holding on to another one of your kids heads

3) No seriously, get your hands off her head!!!!

4) Mom in fear that child will attempt to crawl off couch

5) Attempt to change the position of children so that no one can fall head first

6) Try to get baby to stop trying to wiggle away

7) Tell children to smile pretty and not lamely

8) Good, good, now will other child look at mom while smiling?

9) Baby distracts other child and is trying to escape

10) Tell kids to hold baby up while she's making a good escape

11) Baby does not like this and other child is getting bored

12) Uh oh, baby really is not happy

13) Crap, kids, look at me hurry! And SMILE!

14) This is not working

15) Look through all the pictures you take and pick the best one. Meh, it'll have to do.

And there you have it! Happy 4th of July!
