PARADES & POTLUCKS

We have been so busy this past week and weekend!  Once we got home on Thursday from Okanogan, my friend Aimee left Friday afternoon and then the festivities of the weekend began!  We went to the Berry Dairy Days fireworks in the park on Friday night.  Xavier was a little scared, but he loved playing soccer with Jensen and Jaylen.  

On Saturday morning we ventured back to Burlington for the Berry Dairy Days Parade!  It was SO much fun!  The Stacey's saved us seats at a "prime" location and we scored so much candy I think Xavier's teeth are going to fall out!  Xavier loved seeing the fire trucks, tractors, horses and race cars!  Harper slept the entire parade!  After the parade ended we walked over to the festival in the park and Xavier went on the inflatable slide!  Luckily we can rent it, so get ready kiddos...we will probably have it at Xavier's 3rd birthday party!  Saturday night we had a potluck up at Steve's Aunt Linda's house.  The party theme was, "meet the new babies!"  Since December we have had 4 new babies born on that side of the family!  That family is so big that if we didn't have a party now it would probably be Christmas before we got to meet the babes!  The food and the company was great!

Sunday was Father's Day!  We got Steve a new bbq set along with a travel mug with space for a picture and a homemade card.  We went to church and then we ventured down to Dave & Laurie's house for many celebrations of birthdays, anniversaries, graduation and Father's Day.  It was sooo much fun!  Papa bought Xavier a bike earlier in the week for $6 and fixed it up, so Xavier rode that forever and then there was a garage sale down the street with the next size up bike for $10 so Papa bought that one for X as well!  He is pretty good on his bike with the training wheels!  It was such a busy weekend, but so much fun!!
