4th of July

I know I am way behind but I'm trying to catch up here. I've got to before out little boy comes or else I'll never get caught up.

For the 4th we had a BBQ at my parents house and swam. We followed all that up with our "Parking lot of fire!" as we call it. It used to be just us and the Bishop family, maybe a few others, that would gather in the parking lot to light off our fireworks but it has grown to be a neighborhood thing and its kind of fun. Tons of people come, set up their chairs and light off their fireworks.

I'm not sure what Ashley was doing but I thought it was cute. She lined up the kiddie chairs and then placed a diaper on each chair except for the one she sat on.

After the kids swim in the pool they get a little cold and want to warm up in the jacuzzi. I love the picture of Allie kicking her feet up. It cracked me up when I saw her do that.

Ashley and Allie watching the fireworks together. Allie kept calling to her to sit by her. Ashley was a little nervous of the fireworks and would only sit with her for a little bit.



Taylor sat by her too. Allie absolutely loves Taylor. Its fun to watch them together.


Doug's trying to help her not be so scared of the fireworks

She was ok with the sparkler though

Taylor wanted in on all the action with the fireworks. There's our amazing fireworks show. Huge huh? The guys tried to make it more fun by doing all the bigger ones together. They were big enough for the kids but not so much for the adults. It was still fun though.

One exhausted little girl. She played hard all day. She would not take a nap, no matter what I tried, so she finally crashed at the firework show.
