Fourth of July {2014}

We had a really fun day celebrating Americas birthday!

Any excuse to dress up and be festive, BBQ and swim all day - well that's a great holiday in my book! And we did all that & more! Including a parade at ricks grandparents house, hitting up some great holiday sales at Old Navy & Kohls and watching fireworks!

 

Blowing kisses at the people in the parade!

 

Sweet girl watching the parade!

Eating his big boy breakfast, MURICA!

Matching!  LOL this was NOT even planned.  I didn't even realize they had matching bottoms until later in the day so I obviously had to strip Kenzie down to match her big brother!

 

Gunner loves going through the toy aisles and picking out his own toys!  We hit up some great sales so he got to run free and pick out a few toys he wanted to take home.  The one he is looking at right now was a little baby girl newborn in a bed - he kept saying "Didter!" and putting it next to her in the stroller.

Playing at Grandma Leslie's!  *This is outfit series 2 of the FOUR we had found for them!*

 

 

I looked awful by the end of the day, but I still was loving my Patriotic Tee from Old Navy - Only $4.95!

 

Fireworks Time!

 

As you can see by the pictures - Gunner was amazed by them. Then about a few moments into it, he started jumping up and down, pointing, laughing and even yelling "wow!" at them. Then each time a firework would go out he'd yell "all unnnnnnn" and start clapping!

He had the best time and it was SO FUN watching his face light up with each firework.

 

As you can also see - Kenzie was less excited about it.  Poor girl did NOT cry but she definitely JUMPED back and would squirm a bit each time one went off.  Her faces were cracking us up!  But once Daddy held her she started laughing at them also.  Her little legs were going CRAZY though the whole time the fireworks would go off her legs just kicked nonstop - it was pretty funny to watch and we got some funny videos of her little leg "jumps" (LOL!)

 

All in ONE year span.  Same place, same firework show, just now we are a family of FOUR.  I just love moments like this when you get to see how much can change in a short 365 days.

 

All in all, it was a great holiday! Not to mention. WONDERFUL three-day weekend! We were busy all three days and had so much fun! I say every weekend should be three days! 

 

Happy birthday America!

Hope of the FREE because of the BRAVE!
