Happy Birthday, America!

I *love* the fourth of July.

It's the complete essence of summer all rolled into one day.

I love the FOOD!


I love the parades, how people still pause to honor the flag and the applause is always the loudest for anyone who has served our country.




I love the kids in red, white, and blue clothes (this is last years picture~I'm kicking myself for not taking one of them all together this year!)


I love baseball in the backyard



I love the fireworks, family, and friends

The Sybrowskys~our "famous" friends. :) See p. 9 of the Friend this month! They were crazy enough to stay up with us playing Settlers into the wee hours of the morning.

I love how fireworks tend to bring all the innermost pyro tendencies in all of us:



..and I love the music~I put some of my July favorites on the playlist for the month!

Melissa - Oh my goodness I love all your new posts. I have not been on in forever and I wish I would have looked earlier, especially at Lauren's baptism. Everything looked so fun and I loved her dress. She looked so pretty. Anyway, I need to be better at keeping updated on everyone. Fourth of July looked like a ton of fun, too. I love all of those things as well. :) Have a great day - Mckenna misses you, she is sitting here typing with me jabbering away and I think thats what she's saying. Love ya!

Looks like you guys had a blast on forth of July! Heber get's a little anti-social sometimes, so we didn't hang out with any friends, but we still had fun.
