4th of July in Pictures

We got up bright and early for the annual Fireman's breakfast. Every year since I can remember, I have gone to this...and now it's fun to still be a part of it with my own kids.


Anna and Stailey on the back of the rig


Jammie and I grew up together (for those of you who don't know)... and now we have girls just 6 weeks apart! It is fun to see the similarities and also all the many differences!
Our 4th of July family picture! T had to work, so it was good to see him for a part of the days festivities.

Enjoying the yummy food...

Then we took off and went to Yuba with my dad to meet Sarah and Benj. We got there and their boat had just threw a rod (they think), so the boating option was gone, but we still had fun playing in the water.

Anna LOVED standing on the back of the boat and dancing with the water splashing up on her.

Owen is an up and coming boat bum.

Just being silly

I just love this girl!

And my Mt. Dew drinking boy!



We built sand castles...
Took a "ittle rest"

Laughed...


Ate watermelon...

Posed for yet MORE pictures

And then went home for some neighborhood fun

Sprinklers underneath the trampoline - my favorite when I was little! Owen had a blast!

Owen and his best friend, Matthew. (Owen has bore his testimony 2 times this last year, and both times has told everyone he is thankful for Matthew!)

And finished up watching fireworks and eating popsicles.

It was such a FUN FUN day! I can't wait until next year!
