Honestly I think this is my favorite Holiday!! It is hot and sunny (well sometime here in Wa). It means summer is really here and you gotta love AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY. And everything the LAND OF THE FREE stands for! Freedom of religion, speech, right to bear arms......etc and the super cute cloths, fun firework, tasty BBQ's, wet water, bouncing bounce houses and lots of friends....for the last 4 years I have planned and hosted a big block party but this year my gracious friend
Michelle said that she wanted to host it at her place! It was great! She just moved into a big beautiful house on a park like 1.5 acres and it was the perfect place to have the party! She was a great host especially since she just moved in on Saturday and still didn't have a working kitchen sink!! She got it together and hosted a great party even though her house inside wasn't exactly like she would have liked! We lit off firework and had a show after dark it was great! I had to have one of our guests burn me a CD of all the pic's he took because I misplaced all my memory cards. bummer!! He did get some really good snapshots of our family, he has a great camera!
You can see the back of Eliza...I really like this picture even though you can't see her face! She loves the pool...this is where she and Jayden (michelle's daughter) spent most of the day!
I am strangely attracted to this picture...maybe because I am not often photograph unknowingly?
This is a pic of Mary in her 'cracker swimsuit' as she calls it. This is actually a few days later but she is just so cute!
She is so funny, she was petrified of the fireworks! She didn't even like the sparklers. A few days before the 4th Ryan was trying to get her 'conditioned' for the big day but this is her watching the sparklers.
After the first one she would say as the sparkler burned down and crackled 'no green, no green'. We had the sparklers that start out orange then crackle in the middle and change to green.
Eliza would tell her 'mary it is goin to turn green, here it comes' and mary would just keep saying 'no no green no green!!'

I just love the 4th of July too. We would have loved to have spent it back with Craig's cousins again in Vancouver like last year - it was one of our favorite 4th's. Love the pictures, especially Eliza with the firecrackers - crazy girl!
THE GIRLS ARE JUST TO CUTE!!!!!!!!!
DONNIE WAS JUST LIKE MARY WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. GINNY WAS THE DARDEVIL.
SHE LOVED FIRE WORKS.
MISS YOU GUYS. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
aahhh, poor, sweet mary! haven slept through them this year! we missed seeing a good show, but all the kids need are sparklers and ice cream!
