Independence Day 2012!

Our 2012 4th of July was FANTASTIC!
But I had to show you this first!
This 1st picture is of Aydan on the 4th in 2009. He was 2 1/2 years old.
And this is Trace on the 4th in 2012. He is also 2 1/2.
They were both wearing the same jacket....and look a lot alike huh? Super cute kiddos we have!

On July 3rd we go to Mike and Kelly's for their annual BBQ and firework show!
There was lots of fun friends and good food and a scary moment.
Mariah and Kelly!

There was a little B-Ball game in the front yard...and Audree is going up for a lay-up!

Mariah, Brandon, Kelly, and Kylie!

Grandpa and Trace getting ready for the fireworks!

Keri and Dan!

A sweet fountain!

The hubby and myself!
We had a great night, despite the firework that blew up on the ground instead of in the air, freaking everyone out pretty bad!
*********************************
The morning of the 4th the boys and I rode our bikes to the parade and sat and watched!




After the parade we came home to a surprise! DADDY WAS HOME FROM WORK SUPER EARLY! We enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, and some family came over to hang out! The kids got the pool out and played for awhile!

That night we went to the Chuckars Baseball game and had such a good time! It was perfect weather, and the Chuckars had some home runs, and WON!


We totally got some cotton candy and Trace got it stuck all up everywhere!

At this point (in picture taking) I let Aydan and Tommie play with my camera, and I think they got some pretty good shots of everyone!







Ha! Ha! After the game the kids got to run the bases!
Then we loaded up and walked down to "our spot" and got ready to watch the FIREWORKS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! LET FREEDOM RING!

It was a great couple of days, and we enjoy the 4th and everything it stands for!
