Connor's First 4th of July

Hope you had a fun 4th of July! 

      Our day started off pretty laid back. Connor woke up around 7:45am. He spent most of his morning relaxing with his daddy. 

  I, on the other hand, had to finish getting my dishes ready for the BBQ. I made a cold pasta salad with veggie pasta, tomatoes, ham, cheese, carrots, and italian dressing. I got the recipe from my mom and sister. It's always a favorite at parties!

     I also made dessert kabobs. I found the idea on Pinterest, and it can be found here. The only thing I did different was dip my marshmallows in chocolate and added sprinkles. Here are the ingredients: 

  

 

I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. Here's the finished product:

      Once I finished cooking, I got Connor ready for the day. I love what he wore, including his matching diaper!

 

      I knew we were going to be busy when we got to our friends house, so we took a couple pictures before.

      We went to our friends house at around 2:30. They have a baby 4 weeks younger than Connor. He is such a cutie! We couldn't help but do a little photoshoot with them. It was so hard getting decent pictures where arms weren't flailing!

 My sweetie was so relaxed the whole time. He's such an easy going baby.

     Dinner was really good. Aaron took steaks for us and we had different types of salads. Not to mention several bags of chips that we filled up on before. For dessert we had peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies (they were so good) and dessert kabobs.

     The ladies spent most of their time inside with the babies and the guys played washers outside. Once it got dark, they shot leftover fireworks from last year. We were home by about 10:30 and Connor stayed asleep until 4:30am. He was exhausted, and so was his momma!
