Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! We had great holiday with lots of sun, fun, and family. So grateful for the people who serve our country daily, as this 4th of July approached I was reminded of how awesome our country is as I tried to explain to Christian what the 4th of July was about. I hope you had great one too!


*Sometimes I forget to load my pictures the right way and I am too lazy to delete them and start over again, so you get this first photo out of order :)
The last couple of years we go to see the PG fireworks, they put on a great show and we usually watch them with my sister Miriam and her family. But this year she was invited to a bbq so we had to fend for ourselves. We realized that Jon and Melissa bought a house in PG just about a year ago, so we roped them into going with us. And boy did we get a show! A couple fireworks flew out into the audience and we were all a little worried but we stuck threw till the end and had a great time.

Jon holding Seth, Melissa with Korver, Ethan, Dan, Me, Evan, and Christian. Love these guys!


Ever since I blew up firework up in my face my family started the tradition of shooting rockets off during the day- no fire involved=less anxiety for everyone. We have a great time each year, and the weather was perfect!

Couldn't get a good picture of all of us looking at the camera, oh well!

Silly Evan Boy


My crazy brother Davy getting ready to launch a rocket


The little kids love coming to the rocket launch because they get to chase after the rockets when they are headed back to earth


Here's my Daddy getting a rocket ready to launch


Dan and Christian already starting on the many many calories we consumed that day
