Happy 4th of July

Celebrating the 4th of July is by far one of my favorite times of the year.  We always kick off the festivities with our annual BT block party.  Something I look forward to all year long.  With all the negative going on in the world, it was so refreshing watching all our kids run around freely, adults mingling and fireworks popping.  Our neighborhood is seriously the place I dreamed of raising kids.  A little slice of heaven! 

More frosting and sprinkles than cookie!

 Mase wasn't too sure about the fireworks this year.  Granted we were directly under them so they were extremely loud!

 Every once in awhile he wanted to take a little peek

 After a few hours of firework popping these dads had quite the mess to sweep up.  They have it down to an art though and had it all swept up in minutes!

 J&H were so close to making it in the bath after a long fun night.  They needed a little rest first!

 The next morning we drove out to Great Grandpa Jack's for a little swimming and lunch

 Mase was lovin the holiday weekend just as much as his momma!

This year was a little different, after two days of celebrating at home we packed up and headed down to Dallas.  We celebrated the 4th and Plano before catching our flights for a mini vacay in Cancun!

Tyler and I snuck out for a quick round of golf!  Shot my first birdie!

We went to the Plano 4th of July parade.  Definitely no Edmond parade but it was still fun for the kids.  Candy and firetrucks is all they need to consider a parade successful!
