yesterday morning we were in the 4th of July parade! we had so much fun passing out cards and ice pops to all the crowds-we went through almost 1000 of each!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my sweet and amazing, and maybe even a little crazy, friends who agreed to bear the heat and walked with us!!! I love you all! :)

bales, martins, monteleones, hodders, blackmores,  stephens, theauxs plus all our neighborhood kids!

starting out the parade...i wish you could see all our cute little wagons! :0 

after the parade we all came back to the house to enjoy some much needed lunch!! nate enjoyed using his new grill and we got to try out the new patio! thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

fireworks and fun!

last night we went with the family to the farmers branch fireworks show-we go every year and it is always so much fun! we picnic'd on a blankout, did LOTS of people watching, danced to the music and saw beautiful fireworks!!!
