July 4th

We had a busy July 4th. Wesley woke up that morning saying "fiwoks." Translation "fireworks." My mom and dad came down to spend the day with us. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and made homemade peach ice cream, ummmm! I love peches! My mom and dad brought down a whole bunch of them from Lane's packing company in Fort Valley. I could eat 5 or more peaches a day. Especially during this time of year when their this good. After we ate, Mark and I went shopping for t.v.'s. A few weeks ago, lightining struck our t.v., computer, and this radio I had in the kitchen that my brother-in-law, Michael, gave me for christmas. Thankfully, bellsouth sent us a modem free. However, a t.v. guy came and said the t.v. is shot, unless we want to pay hundreds of dollars to have it fixed, which wouldn't be worth it in the long run. So, we thought we would find some good sales on july 4th, but we didn't. Well we ended up getting one anyway from Wal-mart. It's one of those flat-screen lcd's. We researched it and decided on an lcd b/c plasma's don't last as long. We eventually want to hang it on the wall so we can get rid of our entertainment center.

So, we got back from HOURS of shopping for t.v.'s. I was pretty exhausted. If I do alot of walking now, I get tired faster. I feel like an old lady. Wesley only ended up taking a 15 minute nap. So, I was a little concerned that he wouldn't be able to enjoy the fireworks, but he was fine. The fireworks started at 9:30 and Wesley loved them, then seemed like he got a little tired of them later. So, we left at 10. He was ready to go to bed when we got home and right when we walked in the door said, "Pa, read." So, my dad read to him and said he fell asleep while he was reading which he never does.

I need to figure out how to put videos on here b/c Wesley likes to sing along to certain songs now, especially "you are my sunshine." It's so cute. He has to cover up his face with stuffed animals or a pillow though when he does it. I guess he doesn't want us to see his face when he's singing. He is becoming more and more vocal now and gets frustrated when we can't understand what he's saying. Some cute things he's saying now is "ticish," or tickilish (I don't know if I spelled that right or not,) whenever we tickle him, or just if the cat's tail touches him. Mark has taught him to snore where he breathes in and then goes, "mememememe." He was just doing that on the monitor. We still use the monitor for him b/c he still waits for us to come in there and get him whenever he wakes up. I guess he got that from when he was in his crib. Whenever he gets a "booboo," he has to tell and show everyone he comes in contact with. We were at Dairy Queen one time and as we were about to leave, he just went up to these people and showed him his "booboo."
Here are some pictures from July 4th.

Wesley and Pa as we were walking to see the fireworks. His eyes were really big here.
