Happy Fourth of July!

It has been the Spinniken tradition to go to the Leland parade on the 4th for years.  I remember while dating Aaron I saw pictures of him as a little boy dressed in patriotic clothes watching the parade.  I thought they were so adorable and it melted my heart.  So imagine the fun it was to take Malachi to the parade for the first time with all of his cousins.  It was a hot day, so his "USA" overalls didn't stay on long, but none the less who can resist a chubby baby in a diaper? :0)

Photo bombed by Mr. Gregory! :)

                                                            "I chew on this, right mom?"

Not sure about the sirens, but he didn't hate it :)

and off with the diaper! (look at those legs! :)

He waved the flag the whole way home :)

our tattoos from the parade :)

Summer Love'n

We are throughly enjoying summer and spending lots of time at the lake and the beach (I am trying to go as much as I can and enjoy it before Malachi becomes completely mobile. :)  Having the cousins around has been a lot of fun too.  We took a dip in the lake or sat in a cool bath morning, noon and night last week when we were in the 90's!  We spent most of last week in our diaper. lol
     Summer is going by too fast (like usual.)  But it has been good thus far.  So proud of my boy learning to love the lake like we do!

                                             Hey Irene you have'n fun over there?! :)

                                                                             hehehe! <3
