HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Happy 4th of July! We had a GREAT day today! The rain held off...there wasn't a cloud in the sky!! The kids played outside most of the day!! Lauryn helped mom in the kitchen today with the deviled eggs, the pasta salad and the cake!! She actually decorated the cake all by herself (and was VERY proud of it)!! I have never seen a kid eat deviled eggs like Lauryn! She LOVES them!! So, she snuck a few while we were making them! We had a wonderful cook-out tonight (Andy and Jessi were the grill-tenders)!! Then, the kids got their showers and we headed up to the high school parking lot to wait on the fireworks! It was sort of "chilly" tonight (which is JUST FINE by me)!! They actually moved the location of the fireworks (much to everyone's surprise in the parking lot)! So, the view wasn't as good as we are used to....but, we still had fun! Lauryn does not like loud noises, so she hid in the back of the truck most of the time (or had to be held by mom and dad)! It's now 11:30 p.m. and we just got home a half-hour ago! The kids are in their pajamas and it's time for bed! Tomorrow is Lauryn's birthday! I am too tired to download a lot of pictures from tonight, but here are some......

DO YOU NOTICE LAURYN HIDING UNDERNEATH THE BED-COVER ON MY HUSBAND's TRUCK?!!! I TOLD YOU SHE DIDN'T LIKE THE LOUD NOISES!!

HE's GOOFY...THAT's WHY I LOVE HIM!!

ANDY & JESSI :)

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A SAFE AND WONDERFUL 4th!
