4th of July Fun

We had a great 4th of July and very busy. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with friends and family.


Our celebrating started the night before. We went to a Sockers game with a bunch of friends and had so much fun!!! Parker really enjoyed spending time with his friends and they had fireworks as well. Parker was so excited because he was going to get to see fireworks two days in a row. Jeff and I were excited because we have been looking forward to taking pictures of the fireworks. We thought they turned out pretty good. (for a first try)

The next day we started the morning off early. I was in charge of a 4th of July Breakfast for our church and so we headed over there about 7:30 am. It turned out really well and I am just glad that it is over. We had great attendance and didn't run out of food. (YEAH!!!) Jeff was on pancake batter duty and Parker put himself in charge of keeping the flies off of the food. It was cute!!

Jeff and his parents then went to a Tea Party in Odessa. They had a great time and met up with a large crowd of people. I stayed home with some very tired kids that were sleeping.


Later that night we went over to our friends and had a great time. Just a few highlights of the evening.

-Great time with great friends!!
-Had some yummy food!!
-Addison had her very first cookie. (thanks to Kyle, she loved it)
-Parker beat Papa in air hockey
-Parker enjoyed some swimming (I swear that kid could live in the water!!)
-Watched fireworks from their front lawn
-Stayed up til 11 pm (when we left Parker asked why we couldn't stay longer, other kids were still in the pool)
-Met up with some old friends
-Hard core nerf gun fights

We hope that where ever you were you had a great time and took a moment to remember those that helped get the freedom that you enjoy! Happy 4th of July!!
