The 4th of July is by far my favorite family holiday. We always get together as a family for an all day bash!! This year it started with a great parade( the best its ever been) Then to mom and dads house for a little fun in the water and lunch. This year it turned into an all out water fight!! My mom got the worst of it!! For some reason Dave had it out for mom(mom, you shouldn't have squirted him first!!). She got full on tackled into the kiddie pool by Dave.....It was hilarious! Then off to the Jr. high lawn to watch the fireworks with the Searls, Halls, and our family. The boys got a kick out of the fighter jets and bomber plane flying over main street. It gives you chills up and down your whole body when they fly over your head. I also just learned why there is only 4 planes and not 5 to make a perfect v. One is missing for all the fallen soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for freedom...their life!! I never knew that! Thanks to all the service men and women who have and are fighting for our great red, white and blue!!!!!








This is what Dave does for revenge if you squirt him first!!! Sorry mom!haha

I love this picture. It was at dusk Kamryn, Austyn, Ayden and Ryann waiting for fireworks to start. They have all been best buddies this summer!!
Ayden with his great grandpa George who just celebrated his 80th birthday on June 30th!! Ayden has had a hard time getting the 3 finger thing down, so he just tells everyone that he is 4!
Patiently waiting for the fun part of the party.....presents!!!
He is SO into John Deer tractors its not even funny!! My mom and dad got him this pedal tractor, so he thinks that he can now help bampa john bail hay!!
A John Deer theme of course!!


He is also into "diggers"
Happy 3rd birthday Aydee

My little man Ayden turned the big 3 on July 2nd. I can't believe that he has grown up so fast! He is so funny! He makes me laugh every day!! Here are some birthday pics of how spoiled he is! We had a small family party at our house that day. He recieved lots of great gifts. One of his favorites was his new fish from aunt Lacy, He named his fish 4 by the way!! Kids and their imagination! I want to thank everyone who came to celebrate with us!!
