4th of July

My mom and I went to the Summerlin parade on Saturday the 3rd of July. It was pretty fun, we came late and I was happy that we weren't there for the entire parade b/c of the heat. The boys loved the Pirate float!

We celebrated the 4th of July at our home. We had the Moodys, Dave, Stephanie and Steve over. My mom went crazy in the kitchen, she made deviled eggs, mac n cheese and cut up a lot of veggies. Andy came home from work, put on his 4th of July hat and started grilling! The boys did really well with all the people over. When the fireworks started booming the boys didn't cry or fuss. We took them out side to the street where everyone was setting off their own fireworks. The boys watched with amusement around 9:30pm Dawson fell asleep in my arms as we were standing on the street watching all the fireworks. Phillip lasted a bit longer but also grew tired. Claire was going nuts as usually but would not stop barking. Their first fourth of July was pretty awesome. My mom got all of us old navy tees so we all matched "It's a family thing," I would say. Diana and Roy sent us their 1st fourth of July bibs!

After everyone left Andy and I talked about how much we are looking forward to the future and some day teaching the boys about fireworks.
