4th of July 2011

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. It is a great day to remember all those who have and who continue to fight for our freedoms. We truly do live in a wonderful land and we are truly blessed to live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

We are grateful to all the men and women who fight in our behalf, so that we can enjoy all the rights and freedoms that we have.

Thank You for all your sacrifices and may God Bless You and Your Families!!!!

This is another reason it is my favorite:

FAMILY, Food, Fireworks and Sunshine !

All Dressed and Ready for the 4th of July Festivities

Best Friends :)!

We went to the Parade here in Buhl. Laura and I traded kids for the morning. She watched Ashlee and I took Carson with me and Logan to the parade. It was hot and the parade was okay. At least the kids got to take home a lot of CANDY!!

After the Parade we all headed out to Zac and Lauras for the food, fun and sunshine. It was a beautiful and hot day, but we made the most of it with water games and good food.

We also got a game of volleyball going, it was 3 on 3, but it was fun anyway. We played two games and each team won one game, so sometime we will have to play another one to see who the winner really is.

Besides playin in the sunshine we ate some good food. This year we had hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch with fruit and chips for lunch. Then for dinner we had dutch oven chicken, potatoes, a few salads and then for dessert we had dutch oven cobblers and homemade ice cream. Of course we had homemade rootbeer to drink. So we were well fed. After eating dinner we started the fireworks. First it was the sparklers with the little kids and then we moved on to the big ones.

Logan playin with the sparklers. He just liked to start them and then he would freak out and say hot and give them away.

Yep it was a long day for both of us. I was sweaty from playing vball and Logan was just all tuckered out. He slept through yet another year of fireworks. But its okay because I got a few good pics this year.

Pretty Cool!

My camera battery died and so I didnt get any pictures of the big fireworks. So note to self, even though you think the camera battery has enough power, charge it anyway for the fun events that way you dont miss anything. It was a wonderful 4th of July and we cant wait for next year! Thanks to everyone for making it a fun time again this year :)!

These are just some fun pics that I manipulated with my camera and I thought that they were cute :)!

Baby Blue, So Stinkin Cute

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!
