Fourth of July- 2012

Our Fourth of July this year was pretty low key, we stayed close to home during the day, but then headed to our neighbors and friends home (Matt and Misty Pidcock) for a neighborhood BBQ and Fireworks show. Matt and Misty, more like Matt, is really into the 4th! :D He heads to Wyoming each year a couple of days in advance to get fireworks and always comes back with quite the awesome Firework finds! This is our 3rd year going to our neighborhood get together and we look forward to it each year. The 4th of July has really become another favorite holiday of mine and it is fun to look forward each year to socializing with friends and being with my little family. Each year, I also try to find the kids some sort of patriotic outfit to wear. Kaleb and Karmindy seem to like having a new outfit and enjoy getting dressed up in the Red, White and Blue colors. 
I am so grateful for the freedoms which we enjoy by living in America. I am also grateful for the men and women who so willingly go to war to protect our freedoms! Thank you! I hope my kids will always know that living in a free country and enjoying the freedoms we do, didn't come free. There were those who paid and are still paying a price for it and for that I am grateful.  


My Sweet Little American Beauty!!

Fireworks!! The kids loved the Sparklers and the Tanks!



The kids truly loved the fireworks this year. Kaleb really got into it and made me quite nervous. He is all-boy and was such a pyro. Karmindy liked the fireworks but enjoyed just sitting by me on the lawn, on a blanket watching everything. She has never liked loud noises so her and fireworks don't quite mix. I sure love my sweet little tender heart!
