I love the Fourth of July!!!!!!!!!

So the 4th is on of my favorite days of the year. Ever since Jeb went to Iraq it has brought a more meaning to me. I have more respect for the flag and the other holidays that are meant to remember the ones that have died for our country and are currently serving or have served. So thank you to all that have served or are serving. I am grateful for the freedoms that we have. We got up early and went to the parade. Yes, mom we decided to go. It was so fun. We sat by Ronalee and her neighbors. Everytime that Ella would get a piece of candy she would bring it over to us to eat. She wasn't quite hungry for lunch after all the candy that she ate. Eric would get really mad at the people throwing the candy when they would hit him. He would yell and sit down and scowl at them. If looks could kill their would be a lot of dead people at the parade. Tyson just loved being with his cousins.

Ella's not quite sure what to think

Tyson I think was more excited than anyone.

Later that night we went to the fireworks. It was kind of crazy, but really fun. The kids had so much fun. We were so exhausted when we got home. It was a really fun day and I loved just relaxing and having fun with the kids and Jeb. It couldn't have been more perfect.
