Snap! Crackle! Pop!

We watched the CSI fireworks this year over in the Lowe's parking lot with the Dixon family. Of course, we made sure we turned our radio station to the station that was playing the music to go with the show.

Mackenzee and Magge danced in the middle of the street to the music that was playing.

Awww....aren't we cute? :0)

Maggie's first sparkler {I think}. Montay had to REALLY convince Maggie to hold it.

Mackenzee decided to get brave this year and do one by herself.

The three boys {Rhett, Landon, Cole} put on a little sparkler show for us. They did magnificently. :0)

Poor Rob was the official sparkler lighter. I'm pretty sure he ended the evening with toasted fingertips.

This picture gives a clear idea of exactly how Mackenzee felt about the fireworks we were lighting in the parklot while we waited for the show to start.

Obviously, the boys were a bit more impressed than Mackenzee. :0)

The girls loved the fireworks, but were just so funny about the noise they made.

I'm not sure if Mackenzee thought the fireworks were going to fall out of the sky and land on her or what, but she wasn't taking any chances....

Here is our fun little group as we wait for the show to start. Jaysen was off to the left trying to light our fireworks.

Anyway, it was a nice evening. I have found that it is much more fun to experience these kinds of things through the eyes of the little ones because it almost like being able to see all of it happen again for the first time.

Independence Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend over the 4th of July. We had a really enjoyable day just hanging out and relaxing. You know...the stuff I enjoy doing best. :0)

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a pretty full day. We went out to Buhl to the Sagebrush Days parade with my parents and grandparents. Talon is still here, so he and Landon were able to hang out again. Mackenzee loved watching the horses, which she called cows and was so sure they were, that she mooed at them.

After that we went to my grandparents house for hamburgers as we were all famished. And since it's the 4th....you have to BBQ right?

By then it was naptime, so we took Kenzee home and left Landon with my mom so that he and Talon could play together some more.

Anyway...obviously that night we did fireworks. We had the best of both worlds as we were able to see the CSI fireworks from my mom's front yard, and still be able to do our own at the same time. Good fun! The boys had lots of fun with the fireworks. Jaysen let them help light some of them. So, they were extra excited that they got to be a little more hands on. Mackenzee LOVED the fireworks. She clapped and yelled in excitement. It was more fun to watch her than the actual fireworks. ;0)

I hope you all had a spectacular day celebrating our freedom and independance. Something we all usually take for granted at some time or another. Happy 4th!
