HAPPY FOURTH OF FLIPPIN JULY!!

a little independence this year

i am giving you a break from vacation talk and will have the next two posts be about our 4th of july activities.

i let my children pick out their own clothes this year, they just had to be red white or blue. Ky picked out the dress and Bman picked out a red transformers optimus prime shirt.
a great family photo op!!

this year my sister (and i, i might add) are a little anti, considering the situation my dad has been put in due to our lovely american judicial system. i should have taken a picture of my grandmas face when she saw this instead of the jello (thanks molly for the wonderful laughs of the confederate jello flag).

getting ready to watch the family firework show (put on by kylee and brenton). sorry laura i know you will hate this picture.

sparkler in one hand and a lighter in the other...does it get any more 4th of july than that?

she had to wear some boy pj's for the fireworks cause her new tinkerbell nightgown would have caught fire.

the new pj top my mom got from us from disneyland...i made her wear it when her and the kids changed into pj's.

my new 4th of july croc flippers. yep neon orange and pink for me!!

tessa attempting to hold a sparkler...

i think she held it for like two seconds...look at my moms face...i love it!!

cheesin it up with daddy

the two sisters who were home...nic and scott's fam were out of town...we missed them alot!

more firework pictures to come tomorrow...

Happy 4th of July

Well happy independence day to everyone out there who enjoys wearing their stars and stripes!!We had a very enjoyable day at my parents house with our own little fireworks show. Here are some pictures of what happened.

It was too early to light any fireworks so we watched a bunch of snakes growing until dark

Here is Molly and my dad and Tessa watching the fireworks in the front yard.

Brenton and Kylee enjoying fire, fire, fire, and smoke.

And this is the year that Brenton has officially turned into a pyro and had to light EVERYTHING!
with supervision of course.

Brenton is so proud of himself for being taught how to light stuff.

Here is a picture of my cute kids in their 4th of july outfits.

Cheer up Kyle it is all done and over with. Just Kidding he actually was really cute with the kids and i think enjoyed himself quite a bit too. I hope all of you had a great time being with family and friends, Love to all those proud to be an americans, marci
