4th of July!!! It was so fun this year!!! It started off a bit rocky. We were up late the night before because we knew John didn't have to be up early for work. So, while John watched TV and hung out I made potato salad (SO YUMMY!!) and worked on my homemade lemonade. Also so yummy!! The next morning, we got up had breakfast and I walked into the kitchen to finish the potato salad and to do the dishes....John was at the grocery store buying a few things for the BBQ later in the day and buying some things for the potato salad. Anyhoo, I had to turn around and walk out and proceeded to get sick...morning sickness SUCKS!!! 
Once that passed, John helped me get stuff ready for the potato salad so that I could finish it and shower. He got home in the middle of my "morning sickness episode" as he calls it. So we got all ready and headed to Kirkland to the parade. SO FUN!! Aidan loved it. We were late because I wasn't feeling good and it takes me longer to get ready when I'm not feeling well. So we grabbed Wendy's (not my first choice but the closest thing to the parade route that we wouldn't have to walk through the middle of the parade to get to. We watched the parade from a stair well and then later from the sidewalk. We found Aid a spot and he started to get the idea of getting candy. He even got his first bubble gum and even tried it. He did so well being careful and chewing with his front teeth only and spitting it out after 2 minutes!!
After the parade we came home and he napped then we headed to the Boone'sfor the BBQ!! SO fun. We snacked, ate yummy hamburgers, played in the back yard, walked to the park for fireworks (I did A LOT of walking that day and that wore me out too!!) and then back to the Boone's for more fireworks, err sparklers and some fountains. We did great until all of a sudden we heard over a PA system "Fireworks are illegal, please stop lighting them off immediately." Oops, some of our fireworks had ended up being a bit bigger than we anticipated. Oh well. It was still fun!!
After that, we got packed up and headed home. By the time we got home it was after midnight and Aidan had fallen asleep FINALLY about 15 minutes before we got home. Thank goodness for late naps. We all slept in the next day and then got up and hung out with friends from California until John had to go to work. Overall it was a good weekend, John worked a lot at Garlic Jim's but that isn't so bad since we had the day with him on Friday and Saturday. He worked 5-midnight on Saturday and 10:30am-7:30pm on Sunday. Sunday was rough for me because I ended up getting pretty sick from morning sickness. This is the worst that it has been. I am hoping and PRAYING that it is over soon because I can't take much more of this. I am so burnt out of not being able to eat anything and trying to eat and nothing sounding good. It's for a good cause but seriously....oh well. I just can't wait to meet this little one. John thinks I should call my doctor and see if they can do anything for me since the morning sickness IS definitely getting worse. I'll try and make it to my next appointment on July 25th but if I can't, well I'll call. Keep your fingers crossed and PLEASE!!! if you have any suggestions please let me know!! I can use any suggestions that I can get. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you had a safe 4th of July!! Enjoy the photos!!
