The Fourth of July 2011

We had a fabulous Fourth of July!

The kids found these confetti/candy rockets when they woke up. We have done this a few times now and is always a hit!
Gage and Amberly searching through the confetti to make sure they found every last piece of candy.
We enjoyed a Red, White, and Blue breakfast. It's always a little wierd eating colored eggs! The things we do for our kids :)
Later in the day we went over to Jordan and Janell's home for more fun! We swam and BBQ'd.

We rode our decorated bikes in a parade...
Jordan put on a fireworks show for us. The kids got to hold Sparklers...
Here's the biggest kid of them all!
We went to watch the fireworks at our towns Fourth of July Celebration. I was worried that Emmalin would be afraid of the noise. She LOVED them!! She oooh'd and ahhhh'd!!!

After the fireworks show we went back to J & J's for a late night swim and homemade ice cream.

YUM! J & J have a light in their pool that changes colors. The pool water went from blue, to green, to yellow, to a pinky-purplish color. It was SO cool!
Kimball and his make-shift floating device... ha ha ha! Pretty clever!!
I LOVE the Fourth of July!! I am so grateful for the Freedom and Independence that we get to enjoy in this GREAT country! God bless the USA!!!!!

Our Goofy Family!

It started out innocently enough. Kimball was taking a picture of the three of us -- Emmalin, me, and himself. Out of nowhere Carrigan jumped in the shot... Next thing we know, Gage and Amberly are there too! And then the goofiness began!! Happy times!!
