Our 4th of July

 No surprise that we spent the 4th in Deweyville...to be honest I don't remember a 4th not in Deweyville. I have so many wonderful memories of great friends and fun events that we want to share with our girls so the Deweyville tradition continues.

We decided this year we would sleep in and just catch from the parade on. Here is Hallie with her 2 kinds of cereal and no milk(a common morning at our house). So after some confusion we ended up getting there a little early and did some catching up with life long friends. Just before the parade started Hallie found uncle Chris we have enjoyed the few times we have seen him since he got home but of coarse she was to distracted to look at the camera

 The distraction continued as Rigden was fascinated by the vintage fire truck and ambulance that was in the parade.

 Grandma even came over to join us. She is so different than the grandma that I grew up with and Im grateful  for the times both my kids and I get to spend with her. Hallie was so excited when she got there she chased her car and waited patiently for grandma to park before she had to give her a big hug and tell her how much she had missed her.

 Me and my sweetheart...my life would be nothing without him

 The annual Kim and Ez picture(as Ez would say)..next year it will include their little one(Luke)

 Brad and Sue are always so nice to offer and let Hallie ride with Brooke on her horse. We eventually had to take her off she probably would never have gotten off on her own.

 Then Rigs had a ride he kept petting her and making a gasping sound it is so fun to watch kids discover new things

 Then we played with the sheep and fed the fish...dog food...who knew. They were crazy about it. There was also an awesome swing but we were having to much fun for a picture.

 Then we headed for Randy and Holly's house where we ate too much yummy food, the kids played in the water, and we visited til we were all ready for a nap. So we made the drive home and everyone but Kim and I slept for a couple hours. After getting rejuvenated we BBQ'd and took it easy. Poor Rigs was so sad after dinner and after some medicine and some loves he slept while we played games.

 Kimber and Hallie frosted the cake...well Kimber frosted the cake and Hallie ate frosting.

 When the time came to leave for the fireworks we decided to stay home and play games in our PJs. It ended up that we could see the fireworks from our house anyways so we didn't miss anything. I love the summer and the multiple opportunities we have to spend time with family and friends.
