We celebrated with our extended families.....hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, sausage...and other various artery-clogging foods. I swear, I think my waistline has expanded over the course of two days!
After eating...and eating....and eating....I took my teenage son to buy fireworks. I really didn't pay attention to what he was buying....I was too busy trying to find things that would not scare my 3 year old and 1 year old. So, I see these things called "sliders"....I have no idea what they do, so I ask the guy that is stocking the fireworks. He looks at me and says, "Um, you SLIDE them and they pop...that's why it's called SLIDERS." OK, Mr. SmartyPants, excuse my stupidity regarding the science behind fireworks!
We get to the checkout, and I finally notice what my son has chosen. My attention is drawn to the large missle he has in his hand. Can't wait to see what that does.
So, here are a few pictures from our 4th of July celebration!
Apparently, it is very funny to watch a baby put her toes up her nose.
We were very fortunate to have my husband's father and step-mother here from Las Vegas.
This is how you hold a sparkler. Safely away from the body....see the smile on my face? This means that NO sparks are landing on my body!
Now. This is how NOT to hold a sparkler. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my husband for showing this trick to our children. Good Job, Honey!
Yes, I let my children play with fire...
Enjoying the show!
My handsome young man!By the way, the "missle" my son purchased.....after setting it off, I heard him say, "I paid $4.00 for THAT?!"

Glad you had a happy fourth! Looks like a lot of fun!!
they never seem worth it, huh? glad that you had a good 4th.
Oh boys and their fireworks. Did you really make him pay for his own? I know I have thought "I paid how much for that" while watching Jake blow things up but don't know that he ever did. We stayed at a campground that didn't allow fireworks this year and managed to keep our fireworks experience to a viewing only weekend.
Too funny! Looks like you had a great holiday.
I stopped over here from SITS...glad I did. The name of your blog caught my eye. Love it.
It's true! Those big ones are all talk and no action!
Very funny. Your son is learning the value of money...LOL
Nice family pics and beautiful baby toes. I miss Alyssa having tiny baby toes. Now she has a foot as big as mine!
