4th of July

Our morning started off with a pancake breakfast at the church. No pictures peeps! I wasn't in the mood. We spent the evening with the Nelson's, Taylor's, and the Krumm's this year. It was nice that we didn't have to buy a ton of fireworks. Leave it to the Taylor's and the Nelson's neighbors to have quite the contraband stash of "out of state" fireworks to keep the man-kiddies (and their children) entertained for a long time. I swear we all smell like sulphur still!

It was also nice not to be the mamarazzi. A few snapshots and it was good for me. Until I realized that yet again, there were no photos of mommy. I promise I was there! We'll try again next year. Honestly, it was nice to just enjoy the day and not worry about a photo-journalistic play by play. Good food, great friends, pool time, and fireworks make for a great 4th!!!

I finally told Jared what he used to call fireworks when he was two. Hehehe!

I am so thankful we live in this country and for the freedoms we have!!!! Woot!
