Happy Birthday America!

We celebrated the 4th of July yesterday. Mike had to work but my parents went with me and the boys to a cookout/ pool party at Bryan and Lori's. The boys had a blast swimming but it was a litle too cold for me. Too bad since I was looking forward to swimming. We had some good food and a relaxing time. The kids got to do sparklers and Bryan set off some small fireworks. The smaller kids were leery but Noah laughed and clapped when one went off. He has NO fear.From there, we went straight to the fireworks. They actually started a few minutes early and did a good show. Noah was more excited about playing with the steering wheel and making the vanity light on the visor come on than about the fireworks. Landon and Noah were both out before we got home. Landon never did wake up and slept on the couch. Noah woke up for a minute but went right back to sleep...sand covered. I didnt have the heart to wash him off before bed. Connor and Liam didn't last too long and thankfully they all slept in. Connor didn't get up until 9:00. Hopefully, Mike will be able to be with us next year.
