4th of July

Happy 4th of July!
Jason had to work all day and I wasn't really into the 4th this year but I had to step it up for the kids.  They love every holiday and I like to make them special so off we went to the store so we could make a flag cake.  Taylor met Jason at the door when he got home and shouted, "There's an American flag in our fridge!"  They get so excited :)
 The kids played on the water slide for a while and then passed out on the couch for long naps.
 We made pigs in a blanket and potato salad.  We also had chips and soda.  The kids were in heaven!
 Gotta love all the stars and stripes clothing.
 Tyson and Taylor were really into lighting the fireworks themselves this year.  With Dad's help of course!

 Sparklers are always fun.

 Hayden did one sparkler and hated the fireworks.  She kept saying, "I go home now".  Which was so funny because we were in our own driveway :)


Our neighborhood was very active with illegal fireworks and we had a great show watching them and then lighting our own on the ground :)   Happy 4th of July!!!!

  1. Cute little Hayden!

    Way to pull out the celebrations for the kids. I am amazed every single year at the amount of money people must spend on all of these illegal fireworks.

  2. Steve had to work and Alexis was in Utah for EFY....I was somewhat depressed. It turned out to be a pretty good day though! You have to get the noise cancelling headphones (like what you would wear shooting) for the little ones...that is what Oliver uses!!!
