Britt was SO excited to be IN the annual 4th of July Parade in Wayan. I believe it's Idaho's only parade with more parade participants than spectators!
Friendly competition with Kevan. Let's just say if they make this "golf balls on a string" game into an Olympic Sport I would be on the cover of Wheaties in no time!!
Scott and Kevan didn't want the parade to end!
Pre-Parade crowd!
Scott always finds something unique to wear in the parade. This year Aunt Wendy knew that only one person could pull off the coconut bra and moon boots costume...Scott.

We usually find ourselves in Wayan to celebrate the 4th with family but this year we had many scheduled events that made the weekend extra FUN for everyone. This is the 3rd year of our family parade and like most parades it gets better and longer every year! Thanks to Aunt Wendy's organization it was another great parade! After the parade we had lawn games and a fishing pond for the kids. The big attraction this year was the 1st (and maybe last) Family Talent Show. Scott and I dressed up and played one of our favorite Guitar Hero songs. Scott is a Great performer and Nat--well she can either dance or play..but not both at the same time. Being 8 months pregnant, we spared everyones eyes and just stuck to playing the song. Sadly we were performing and have no visual evidence of that performance...but check back we may get a video or pictures from somebody. Britt brought Mom to tears singing God Bless America along with signing. Nathan was too shy to perform-his talent is just being cute! Scott comes from a very talented family. There were several creative talents by other family members. We had juggeling, dancing, comedians, and even an appearance by Michael Jackson (both the black and white Micheal)! Scott's family is many things but I have never seen so many people that are such hard workers. One day was spent doing several projects all around the house and yard. I made myself useful by helping with lunch...and not alot else. When it came to finding the entrance to the septic system, I felt that was not a project I wanted any part of. It ended up that my brother in law Adam knows ALOT about just about everything and we had a very interesting tutorial on just how a septic system works. There was alot of laughing and jokes made and now Adam is know as "Sherlock" in our family. My favorite new septic system term has got to be: pooh-juice. Now when Nate has to make a sewer system diagram I can help him...but I'll probably have him get help from Uncle Adam!

You are looking super cute. Hope that you are feeling good too. Can't wait till that kid gets here. Other kids are getting big too.
Look out Napolean! Here comes Scott! I love the blue moon boots. It totally made me laugh seeing him riding that bike with Kevin.
What a parade!! Not a horse in the lot. Scott and Kevan look like they would have loved to be "Pooper scoopers", maybe that is not funny since you spent the rest of the day looking for the septic tank. What a wonderful family memory everyone will have. Nothing like the 4th of July Parade in Wayan, Idaho. Nee Nee looked like the Parade Princess, especially since she had that bag of loot on her handlebars. Maybe next year you can throw in another "Kids 1K Run". I love to watch Nate run. Oh, and about baby names, I will still call him Nacho.
