Good Among the Bad

You know those days where everything seems to be going wrong and it's not anything big enough to be greatly influencing your life other than it sucks and is frustrating? That was my week last week. By Friday night I was more than ready to go out and have a night of fun as a family with Kaela and her boyfriend Brayden.

 Joey had fun dancing to the music.

Nick and Tristan tried out their new chairs we got for camping.

They have a lap belt because they can double as a high chair. They worked perfectly to not have to chase them around all night. :)

Here's a bunchocoffeys!

Towards the end Joey was bored and ready for fireworks, and the twins were starting to get annoyed they were stuck in their chairs. Lucky for us we were sitting right in front of where they were launching the fireworks from and needed to clear the area, so we ended up getting to move to some seats across from where we were for the last inning or so. We had a perfect view of the fireworks and the boys got to move around a bit in the row. Joey loved the fireworks. At first Nick was standing and kept turning around and seemed pretty happy and excited. Tristan sat straight faced (you know, like whenever we get professional pictures done) on my lap the whole time, and Nick did the same thing once he decided he wanted to sit in Josh's lap. It was so fun! Thank you for your tickets Cory and Annie! Hopefully next time you can come too so Joey has cousins to play with. :) Oh, Bees won 4-1.

We have a camping trip with my family coming up, and Josh has the Stake Fathers & Sons Campout the weekend before that he has to go to because the Stake YM Presidency is in charge. My parents have a large tent we could borrow if we need it, but I'd feel bad making Josh set up that huge tent for himself (or the two of us for our trip) so we dug out our little 2 man from when we were first married to make sure it was still in good condition. The boys were annoyed we stuck them in their chairs again so they couldn't run off while we put it together, but then we let them explore it and they thought it was pretty cool. We didn't bother to tell them they get to sleep in the trailer with Grandma and Grandpa. :)

Here's to a better week for everyone!
