Happy 4th!...a LITTLE late!

{July 5, 2007}

Hope you all enjoyed a fun & safe 4th of July! We sure did...and the weather...absolutely gorgeous...it was even a little chilly watching the firewords!

We went out to Rob's parents for a late lunch and had some very yummy pork chops and hotdogs. Stayed out there for a while and then we headed to our farm to bale hay...the boys just love hanging out there - the purchase of the 4-wheelers was one of the best things we ever did! Along with doing that...Matthew loves to ride on the hay wagon and Jacob loves to ride the tractor. Rob's Dad helped by driving the tractor so I got to eventually go home and start supper.

When they eventually got home we ate a quick supper and then headed to the fireworks stand. Thankfully, Matthew & Jacob love all of the little stuff like the snakes, snaps, and the little cars/tractors/rocket ships, etc. that don't cost too much! We then went over to some friend's house for strawberry shortcakes and to watch the big Jackson fireworks. I believe that we have found THE SPOT for watching the fireworks. We've had awesome places in the past to watch them...but I think our friend's backyard topped them all! They're yard backs up to the park that is behind Wib's Barbecue. It was a fantastic view! When we got home we did our fireworks with the boys...even though it was about 10:30...we had promised...and by the way, it's 9:30 am and their BOTH still in bed!

Lovin' the Summertime!
Have a Great Day!
