Our 4th of July

We had a really fun 4th of July this year.

It was a busy one, but lots of fun.

Daddy with his kiddos in their red, white, and blue.

Mama with Taters.

Nixon was not willing to get in the picture. (you can kinda see him in the back)

And Daddy with Taters.

The Saturday before the 4th, Josh, Meg and the kids came over for a BBQ.

We set up this slip and slide and the kids were crazy!!!

They LOVED it.

Nixon had NO FEAR at all.

It took him a few times to totally understand how to do it.

Once that happened, there was no stopping him.

Airborne and all!!!

They had SO much fun with this.

They were seriously playing on the slip and slide for hours.

Here's Madi.

And the Colbsters.

Daddy even got in on the fun.

And Nixon got his first fat lip.

I'm surprised that this was the only injury of the day!

Uncle Josh and Grandma watching the kids.

And here are all the kids at the end of the night.

The food was delicious.

We did fireworks and sparklers.

My pictures of those didn't turn out well at all.

Oh well.

We had SO much fun with them all day.

Sunday we went to a BBQ with Juliane and the girls.

Monday we went to a BBQ at my mom and dad's.

It was such a great weekend.

We loved hanging out with so much family.

It's great to be home for the whole summer.

It's our 1st in 3 years and we are LOVING it and taking FULL advantage of it!
