Independence Day 2010

We started out the day in matching outfits! At least the kids did. My blue shirt was missing and I still haven't found it. I had to of course go for red.

Anyways, we started out the day cleaning up for some family to come over. I made a dessert and some coleslaw. This was our 3rd annual 4th of July party at our house! Each year our quests get alittle bit different. Glad to have everyone who can come.

We all played the lazy game for awhile because it was so hot out.
So we pretty much sat around.

Then my dad got the honors of making some BBQ chicken on the grill.
He did a great job standing out in the heat and over the hot grill.

The girls had some puzzle time with Uncle Josh.

Maddi ate a cupcake for supper. Thats about all she ate too!


Once it cooled off some we went outside to play. Even the big kids played!
Some even picked a few weeds from the end of the slide. They were prickly and she picked them with her bare hand! Way to go Megz!

The little ones loved the swings!

Jade and Abby took care of holding the fireworks.

Even Mason enjoyed them!

Maddison played in the water

Our little fireworks.
At some point even though it was still hot out we had a small fire to roast smores!
Then once it hit about 9:30pm we had another guest join us, Matt, my brother!
He came to watch the town's fireworks with us.

I think they took this picture with my camera when I was inside with Maddi.

Mason feel asleep in his swing!

For part of the town's fireworks Maddi watched with aunt Molly in her car! Faith was sleeping.

After the fireworks we had a snack! It was late but we all wanted to visit with uncle Matt.

Somehow Maddi even got a cupcake at 11pm!



Girls watching fireworks.
Maddi brought her very own chair with!
