July 4, 2010

Tanner and my niece Emma at my other niece, Olivia's game
Tanner and Olivia
Grandpa's chair-I love it!!!  (And miss him a ton!)
Tanner and my little brother Matt always take a picture of each other taking pictures of each other.  .
Our stash of fireworks-can you tell the boys love their toys??
My brother Mike saw a video on youtube showing the blowing up of a 5 gallon bucket using an M80.  He wanted to try it using a 1/4 stick of dynamite.  Below is the result,  It was HYSTERICAL and we laughed so hard we about pee'd our pants.  Great job, Mike!!
Tanner and her favorite fan-Steve

Matt
Mom and Conner Smith.  Love his heart, he didn't like the fireworks most of the night.  You can't tell but he's got his hands over his ears and stayed that way most of the night.  He'd tell me "Mike do big stuff...."  It was cute.

Pretty fireworks

Though it rained off and on throughout the day and night on the 4th, we once again had a GREAT time. We didn't let it rain on our parade for sure.  The only downer of the night was the fact that it rained so hard at one point that we weren't able to shoot off the finale, the James Bomb.  It got too wet.  :( 
I'm so thankful that we live in a country where we can celebrate our freedom, our religon and just about anything else we want to celebrate.  I am so appreciative of the men and women who sacrifice and fight every day so that we can live in the great country of ours. 
Happy 4th of July!!!
