The 4th

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is my most

favorite holiday!

I love everything about it!

{Cooking out with the family,

Fireworks, Summer Time}

I didn't decide to decorate for the 

4th until about a week before.

Oh well.  KC and I worked on

this American flag, and I love

the way it came out! 

We were super excited to buy

fireworks this year.  Last year

was sooo dry here, that they

didn't even allow people

to pop them or sell them.

That was the only time I can

ever remember not having

fireworks on the 4th of July.

We had some more water balloons,

and thought this would be a great

day to fill them up.

Once again it was

kids VS adults

 Kade nailed me really good

with one right in the ribs

when I wasn't looking.

Ouch!

So I held him down and

busted one right on his 

head.  Luckily Nana

caught it on camera.

We didn't go crazy on fireworks.

Our normal is Sparklers, Snakes,

Smoke Bombs, and Poppers.

Then KC always sneaks in 

Black Cats and loud stuff

that scares everyone.

 Go figure.

The boys really got into lighting them

and blowing things up this year.

Just Great!

The Chicken is my favorite!

This is where they were

trying out Smoke Bombs 

in water.  Why?

Who knows!

Apparently because

that's what little boys 

are supposed to do.

A big church right by our

house ended up having a big

firework show that night.

Perfect!

We got to enjoy the show right from

our roof top.  No fighting traffic to

get home afterwords either.  :)

We also marked Pop Fireworks
off our Bucket List!
