4th of July fun

Originally we were not going to be in Utah for the 4th of July, but then I realized that the 4th of July in Texas is lame and I have so many fond memories from when I was a kid. I wanted my kids to have the same thing. We had a relaxing day and went to the park with my sister and her kids. Then that evening we went to my parents house and we had so much fun. Food, fireworks, laughs....what more could there be??

The kids were so cute during the fireworks. They loved the sparklers. Addison kept saying "Best Day Ever Mommy!!" They both kept asking if we could do this again next year. I didn't want to break their hearts and tell them no. But Midland really does nothing fun for the 4th. They suck in that department. I am so happy that we went for the festivities, it brought back so many fun memories. It was fun to spend the day with my family!!! And here come all the photos. I think this holiday is one of my faves and there are tons of photos. So many did not make the cut!!!


This is Carter my nephew. He is 3 weeks younger than Kate and has 2 pounds on her. He is so cute. His daddy is very proud after having twin girls first. We both have kids the same age. Never thought that would happen. Their twins are 2 months older than Addison.


My sister is so talented, she painted these cute flags on our toes for the big day. The kids loved it. This is not the only artwork we did on our trip with Aunt Tiffy!!





This was a big hit with the kids. This was Addison's first ride, she was scared at first but then kept asking for rides all the time.
