Kya's First Independence Day

Kya's first Fourth of July weekend was near perfect - wonderful weather, lots of family, good food, and great memories.

Notable events of the weekend:

Kya wore a swimming suit for the first time.


She looked especially adorable. Even with her fussy face.

Kya spent lots of time sleeping (here she is napping on Aunt Ronda)


And here is Kya snoozing and practicing her high-dive form.

We hung out with lots of family, here we are with Great Grandma Hager.


Fantastic weather for the Hager family gathering at the Bachmeier house.

In the afternoon, we headed to the river for the Vander Vorst taco feed.

Thanks to the Boppy, Kya sat up for a while (with a slight lean).

Grandma Rene and Parker made sure Kya was thoroughly spoiled.

In the evening we enjoyed fireworks and a bonfire at the Altringer house.

We weren't sure if Kya would like the fireworks, but to our surprise ...

... she would follow them, high into the sky ...

... and give a cute little smile (and some drool) after the boom.

(the blanket over her head helped fend off mosquitos)

And to top it off, here is Kya and her daddy - cuddling and watching fireworks.

What a great weekend!
