4th of July

My poor husband . . . every holiday around here ends up in a photo shoot! Good thing he loves me (and knows what a freak I am about pictures). lol :) 4th of July on a Sunday this year was great. I loved dressing everyone in red, white, and blue for church. I am always the crazy person who buys the kids 4th of July outfits in June when they first come in the stores. I love it!

Since it was fast Sunday Ashby and Ryan both got up to bear their testimonies at church. It was really neat to see them sitting up there together and then hear them both on the 4th of July (after all it is Ryan's favorite Holiday). After church we were invited to a BBQ at a friends house. It was really great food and the kids had fun playing together and the adults enjoyed visiting.

After dinner we came home and put Brooks to bed and let Ashby and Dalton stay up to watch the fireworks show on T.V. Ryan and I were both so exhausted neither one of us wanted to take the kids out to see the "real" fireworks(I know we are the worst parents!). We didn't think they would go for the fireworks show on T.V. but surprisingly they were both all for it and totally loved it. Especially all the music that was played with the fireworks.My sweet little Brooks. I love his age right now. He is so fun to cuddle and hold.
