Crazy 4th of July

Kennedy showing her patriotism in her star spangled dress.

Our host read us a quick patriotic story and then we all sang The Star Spangled Banner. It was a touching moment. A good reminder of the reason we were setting off fireworks and the good men who worked hard to help us gain our independence.

They put on an awesome fireworks show. I don't think we've ever been that close to the action. We had a GREAT time. Thanks for the invite Felicia!

	Our first 4th of July that we could legally set off fireworks. Woohoo!
	$10 worth of "roman candles".
	Flaming balls? "Do not hold in hand"? What's the first thing the natives do when they light them? Hold them in their hands.
	These places were set up everywhere!
	Friends in our ward invited us over for a hotdogs and fireworks.

Huntsville Airshow

Raytheon had a company barbeque at their airport site so all the employees and their families could watch the airshow. We had fun. How could you not, free food and entertainment. You can't beat that.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my two most favorite dads.

Happy Birthday!

Regan and Kennedy just had their 6th and 2nd birthdays (June 1st & 2nd). As you can tell from the tea lights on the cake it was a pretty laid back party. It wasn't as lame as it looks, we went to McDonald's & Chuckie Cheese the day before. Every kids dream, right?:)

Where the Green Grass Grows

Picking Strawberries

We went to Turner Farm today and picked strawberries. We had so much fun! And the strawberries were so sweet and juicy. I think the kids ate as many as they picked.
There were rows and rows of bushes covered with straw berries.












Regan and Kinney on the hunt for
the perfect strawberry.












Kennedy was not as picky. She ate anything she could get her hands on.















Bryan was good at finding the the really sweet ones.










It took a while but we filled two of these buckets.








Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with all of them. Maybe some jam.

Overdue

I know this blog has been seriously neglected and I'm sorry. I promise to be better.
