4th of July!

One of my very favorite holidays is 4th of July! Its in the middle of summer (my favorite), its a day to relax and have fun with friends and family (my favorite), it ends with awesome fireworks (my favorite), and we can stop and be thankful for our independence and all those who have and are still fighting for that. I also have to take advantage of a holiday and the photo opp with the kids in their red, white, and blue theme wear. This year they even did it in their swimsuit theme wear too. They are great to make their mama happy!

Bryce, who did so good for this picture decided later on he did not want to smile and no bribery was going to make him. He has a mind of his own for sure. I'm not sure which threat made him smile for the last picture but whatever it was he smiled and we left to go to Sug and Pop's for a little pre-4th fun. He made a 2 minute picture become a 15 minute painful process.

We did get to go have fun at Sug & Pop's after and he was more than willing there to have some pictures made. We had messed up and forgot to take our annual Father's Day picture of the grandkids and Pop so we did that. After we ate we all went on a bike ride which Bryce loves! He has become a master on his little balance bike and he wanted to go all through the neighborhood. I love watching him on it!

On the 4th we celebrated all day long with our friends at the Burton's. This is our annual 4th of July tradition and we love it and look forward to it. We go at lunch and eat first, then the kids play and swim all day! They love it! Us adults love it too. We get to sit, talk, play games, and just enjoy being with everyone. We eat supper again that evening and the night ends late with an awesome fireworks show. The win this year was I sat inside with Bryce, who had noise canceling headphones on, but he sat with me at the window and watched the fireworks! Yay for no tears! Last year he wanted to stay inside to play but once he heard the first boom he was curled up yelling for help. Cohen was always the same way and I can't help but laugh. At least she is proof they do grow out of it. It was such a fun day!

talk about a pool full!

The line for the diving board, and Bryce looked so cute. Here he is actually waiting his turn but a lot of times he would run right to the front. And most people would let him go!
