July 4th

I love the 4th of July. It is one of my favorite holidays! We always have so much fun celebrating. While watching the fireworks I always find myself so grateful to live in our beautiful country. On the 3rd we got together with Jeremy's family to eat and watch fireworks. It was fun to visit with everyone while we waited for it to get dark. Here are a few pictures:

Stockton was so content to just sit on the blanket with me

The next day on the 4th we went to the annual 4th of July Jensen pool party. The weather was perfect for some fun in the water. We had hamburgers, salads, watermelon, homemade rootbeer (my favorite), and  some snacks to eat during the pool party.

Here's Reese- she LOVED the water slide!

This is Brooklyn- I love this picture! Doesn't her face tell the story of pure joy in the summer?:)

Stockton and dad- don't worry he will be first in line for the slide next year!

Austin and Brooklyn- such cute little cousins

Piper

This is a picture of my nephew, Kaden. The poor little guy broke his femur and wrist a couple of weeks before this. He was in a huge cast and in a wheelchair. He was a good sport though. He got to have a water gun and shoot all the cousins as they ran by.:)

We had a full day of fun. We played volleyball and horse golf. Michelle and Mark had planned a scavenger hunt that was a lot of fun for the kids. They got a lot of treats!

Michelle and her friend Brittney and Reese. They were dividing out the treasure from the treasure hunt

They had bubble wands that they ended up using as light sabers! :)

I just had to include this picture. This is my niece Megan. She apparently loved the rootbeer! It made me laugh.

These last two pictures are of Stockton and they were just too cute to leave out. He is so sweet and content.

I love this little boy!

We had such a fun day. There was a lot of eating, visiting and laughing. We always have a good time when we all get together!
