4th of July

On the 4th of July Ryan took us to the Sand Dunes in the Morning/Noon. We got out to Chokcherry and the whole time Emalee kept asking if we were on chok yet. Well when we got there there was no one there. We thought that maybe there was something going on somewhere else that we were missing out on. Ryan says that this picture is proof that Kenadee got her glare from me. HAHA

After we were done Ry went up to help his dad for a couple of hours while i got the kids ready for the day and make what needed to be made for the Barbecue at my mom's. The food is always wonderful, We had Hamburgers, salads, homemade root beer, and Strawberry shortcake. I think that we were all so full. Before we ate I had Melanie my sister take a picture of us before Jaren decided to get dirty. Which could happen at any moment.

Jaren's first time with Sparklers. Not sure about them. But he found the noisy ones a little nerve wracking. But never cried which was a plus.

Emalee also enjoying her Sparkler.

Everyone starting their sparklers, what a smoky mess it was. We had a wonderful day and we are so grateful for the freedoms that we have and the family that we have been blessed with. I am so very grateful for my own little family and the blessings that have come into out lives from the Gospel. This all wouldn't be worth it if we didn't have our Families.
