The 4th of July

Okay so I know the 4th celebrations happened almost two weeks ago. So here is a glimpse of what we did that day...

We started the day off with a little bike ride over to a ward breakfast. We thought everyone was going to be decorating their bikes for a little ride around the neighborhood but we got that wrong. So we had our own parade. The boys looked cool with their decorated bikes. Austin even had flags attached to the bike seat on Jeff's bike. They thought they were pretty awesome so that is all that matters.
After a busy day of swimming and fun we headed over to our friends house for a BBQ and more water fun. Austin loved this sprinkler he pretty much had it all to himself.
Gavin and Bryson had fun on the Skimboard.
Later that night we headed out to a local high school for some fireworks. Austin did not stop moving until the fireworks started. Thanks Gina for bringing the fun glow sticks for ALL the kids.
The children laughed and played the whole evening.
My biggest baby. It is not very often I get to love on this one. He is getting too big (or so he thinks,) But today was the exception. I think fireworks bring out the kid in all of us. You really can't help but smile and be a little giddy.
Ooo Ahh! Gav and Bryson loved them!!! Check out little Austito in the background huddled in his daddies arms. He loved to watch them but the boom was a little too much to handle on his own.
The fireworks were so loud.

We had a wonderful day and evening. This is one of our favorite days of the year. The kids count down the day until the fireworks start and they certainly were not disappointed by the show. It was worth wait!!!!

Hey, where have you been? I just left Ashley a message and told her I haven't seen anyone in a really long time. I think everyone is hiding from me because all I do is call people looking for a sub. Whew, I am really sorry about that. Your looking so good, very pretty, and I love the award that you got about being the youngest one at the reunion who hasn't dyed her hair to cover the grey. Really funny!

Great fourth! I just saw your OK trip. Did you know that they are building a Toby Keith's I love this bar and grill here by us? They just approved it for Dobson Riverview. Pretty cool huh?

What a fun fourth! I can't wait until my boy is a little older and we can join in all the fun.
