4th of July

Well, the 4th is a pretty big deal down here in the 'hood. Because he have the best view in world, there's always a party. This is also the time I try to get a family picture...I have no idea why I attempt this by myself (see below). Josh bought a few little fireworks to entertain the kids. We decided that in our 20 pack there were about 3 varieties...they were just all named something different. Although Josh and I were totally disappointed about this...Ky and Xav loved it! Eli was in awe. I actually didn't take any firework pictures this year as Ky and Xav stayed up to watch them this year. Ky was on hyper mode and Xavier's bottom lip started to quiver about 2 minutes into it and said, " I wanna go ni-nite" He was just too tired to function...kinda like me right now :o) This was also a day that I thought about our troops. I'm so grateful that we have Josh's brother home with us now. Love you Jonny.

I put a few of my favorite pics below...but a slide show is coming soon!

Oh...the excitement!
