We had a good Fourth of July! We had our huge bag of fireworks left over from last year that we forgot to take to the vacation house on the lake. I was hoping they were not all ruined but we only had one dud! woot!
Jeremy took the day off (job perk!) Cedric asked me the other day who paid Dad? I told him, no one did...that Dad paid himself. And he said well who is Dad's boss? I said no one. Dad IS the boss. And he said, so Dad can have the day off whenever he wants? And I was like, Yes, he is the owner Cedric. Then he was like...He should take every day off!! LMAO! LOVE it!
In the morning we went to the Carthage Fourth of July parade. It was fun! Every year it gets bigger and bigger. They kids were really good and had a good time! As is Jeremy and I. Then we came home and hung out. We had Jeremy's parents over for a cookout and fireworks.......
Cedric was in charge of the camera and got some cool shots! These kids make some pretty funny faces!
Eden was just not sure what to think of the fireworks.....she was very timid. Which I said just goes to show you that women have sense and men don't, lol!
We had a lot of good food, drinks, and fun! Tristan had went to The Landing waterpark and got home in time for fireworks too! Yay!
Eden Rose kept stealing Grandma Kelley's soda. She's just too darn cute....and she knows it!
So, Asher decided to light about ten sparklers at once and nearly caught himself on fire!!! Scared the crap right out of me! We tossed him in the pool real quick and he was fine but he swallowed a bunch of the smoke and had a bad taste in his mouth. Right after that I went to the car to get a paci and found out someone had locked the car with the keys IN it AGAIN!!! AGH! So, the evening had a little sour note then. Jeremy's parents left and we started getting the kids ready for bed. Just then the Carthage fireworks started going off. We went outside and realized that we could see them perfectly from our driveway. We took the boys out and let them sit on the hood of the Expedition and had a REALLY GOOD moment. Everyone was content and happy. I told them that these little moments were what it was all about and they all agreed. I told them how much I loved them and Happy Fourth of July and they all said it back to me sincerely! LOVED IT! The Fourth is one of my favorite holidays. For reals. I love it! I love this country we live in! And who doesn't love fireworks?!?!
