Happy Fourth of July!



I love the 4th of July! We started the day with patriotic pancakes and a trip out to get fireworks. This is a big deal for our little family, and we always call it our 4th of July Fireworks extravaganza. Melissa and Jonathon emerged from the Alaskan frontier after driving for days straight and they were eager to blow some things up too. They couldn't do fireworks at all the whole time they were in Alaska. boo hoo. We put our fireworks together and had quite the show. We spent the day swimming, sucking down popcycles and then we had a bbq.. It was so cute to see my little nephew Grant watching the fireworks. He kept saying something like "what's that?" and then just giggling when they lit up. Reagan thought the sparklers were really cool and she loved the pink diamond fountain libby picked out. Mason had to see a blue planet fountain again this year and he picked a goofy looking clown, that we were all too happy to light up and get rid of. Libby was a big helper with Grant and like to see the Magna fireworks we could see from the Lachowski's.

Hey Charity! I just found your blog tonight. I've been wondering how you are. While we were in CA, we saw your Uncle Randy all the time (he was the high councilman for our ward). Hope you are doing well...I can't believe how big your kids are now!
