Let Freedom Ring!!

It is the 4th again and we were very busy. We started the holiday on the 3rd at the fireworks. Beth invited us to her company cookout at Delaney. This was our 3rd year attending and we always have so much fun. We spent the evening hanging out with friends, eating good food, watching the kids play, and we ended the night with fireworks. Here is Kade coming down the slide on the "jumpy thing". He spent the entire night in this thing.

Alex enjoyed playing with the beach ball. I even managed to get a bow to stay in her hair. So looks so adorable.
Here big brother Luke jumps in to make sure that he also gets in the picture.

It is getting close to firework time and when Luke heard the 5 minute warning he jumps in daddy's lap for protection. Luke does not like loud noises so this was a treat. He managed to calm down about 10 minutes into the show.

Here is Kade with his sparklers.

Beth, Thanks again for the invite. We had a great time!! Kade was already talking about next time on the way home.

On to the 4th.
We'll we began the day on a sad note. A close family friend of ours passed away so we had a funeral at 2pm on the 4th. After the service we headed to Steve's brothers house for a cookout. Here is Ms. Alex sitting in the kitchen enjoying her toys while we were cooking dinner.
Here are the guys out on the deck grilling the hotdogs and burgers. From left to right: Kenneth, Steve, Nick, and Brad. In case you are wondering.....yes Nick and Brad are twins. They are Steve's younger brothers.

We are back inside and here is Brad and Lindsey (aka almost aunt). Brad and Lindsey are getting married in October. Luke did not want to have his picture made. He was trying to escape on the back deck with the guys.

Here are all three of my angels posing for a picture at my parents house.


Hope everyone had a great 4th!!
May God bless you and your family

A little biased here, but I think October is a great month to get married (our anniversary is Oct 6th).

That last picture is amazing! They are all smiling AND looking at the camera-Great work.
