Happy July 4th! 2012!

FOOD!  FAMILY!  FIREWORKS! FUN!


It sure was a wonderful day!  As a mother one of my favorite things about any holiday is dressing everyone up to match.  So of course it was no different on this day!  Having a little girl just makes it a little more exciting because I now have bows, skirts, and matching shoes.


The kids and I had a great day with their Paw Paw B. and B.B.  We simply just hung out around the house and ate a wonderful lunch.

As Chase said,  "Look how cute we are."

B.B. got them a pool to play in.


Getting ready for fireworks!


One of us slept through it all!


Yeah for fireworks!



This past year I've done so many things I'm just not use to doing.  The fireworks use to be something the boys dad would take care of and I was the one standing to the side kinda worried.


Well this year I had to get over it!  I became the "cool" mom lighting, popping, exploding fireworks with Blake.  


Some of them EXPLODED a little to close, some almost hit the neighbor's home and the neighbor, a couple hit us, we scared Chase to the point he ran inside, we all lost a little bit of hearing in both ears, and mom refused to come out with the baby.  

Both Blake and I walked away with a few burn marks, but all and all it was a great night.

When we walked inside Blake said, "That was the coolest night ever, mom!"  

A job well done for me!!
