I know, I'm behind in my blogging, I've got a lot to catch up. We'll start with the 4th of July. Lot's of food, I think I ate ALL day, friends and family. I tried my best to dress the boys in the colors, Xander's shirt is my favorite. We also spent about $150 on Target fireworks (the kind that don't fly, we'd definitely hurt ourselves). The pictures do the best explaining...
Little Xander riding his big boy car over to Misha's in his new fly boots, a little big for him still but way too cute for his own good.
Papa, showing little nugget how it's done.
You can't stop this kid from eating fruit, especially any kind of mellon, he's like his Papa when it comes to fruit, they can't get enough.
Corn off the cob, I'm not sure if he's ever seen it this way. I said, 'Want some corn?' and he replied, 'That's not corn!' One taste is all it took, he was sold.
Anna, showing us real badmiNton (we made sure to pronounce the 'n' all day) form.
Censored for those involved.
Bubbles AND suckers?!? This has to be his new favorite holiday...not to mention...
FIREWORKS! We set off a couple for Xander and Keaton who were going to bed early...still pretty cool. Xander doesn't like loud things but sure wanted more when it was over.
Sparkle dance.
We were so amazed at the fireworks!
Jonah and Anna were equally unimpressed.
The fire-starter, my booski.
Anna put on a GREAT half-time fireworks show.

Simply put a great holiday...although next year I'm determined to find a parade, do they not do 4th of July parades in the South?
