The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays...weird I know but, growing up it was one of the few times our whole family got together, and it still is. This year we were missing a few people and added a few new ones but our family was together. And you boys had a great time. It was sunny but not very hot but, Jake, you insisted on doing summery things so we let you and you had a blast!
Grandpa just had the grass installed a few days before so we were still very excited to use it...installed might sound like a funny word to use but this grass is fake...which means no one breaks out from playing on it...and no mowing or watering!! So awesome! Love this grass...you boys do too!
Jake you ran around in this sprinkler thing and had a great time...
You started getting chilly...little red nose!
Your Uncle Matt and Alex joined in the fun!
Then it was time for Ice Cream making...this is a family tradition...everyone has to help or they don't get to eat...those are the rules! This was the first year you were big enough to help and understood what to do...here you are cranking the ice cream maker.
And helping great grandma turn
Your Daddy and Uncle Matt taking a turn...I told you...everyone has to help!
We finished off the day with delicious BBQ and watching the fireworks from the backyard.
Jack...I realize there aren't any pictures of you here...you were being held by a loving family members the whole day. It was cool and windy outside so you hung out inside most of the day...being held and loved!
I hope that as you boys grow you will not only appreciate what others have done so we can live in a country full of freedom but what that freedom allows for us. We are blessed to live where we do!
Love,
Mommy/I hope you boys will love family get togethers as much as I do!
