4th of July

Third year in a row we've held a 4th of July party in our yard. Brandon smokes or grills and everyone brings desserts or sides. I realized we don't have any family photos with this little old house of ours and definitely want it documented so we snapped a few photos while we waited for it to get dark. Then our neighbors across the street to the left and right (two different cul-de-sacs) put on huge firework shows for us and we watch for free. It almost looks like they are trying to one up each other and one side goes and then the other goes and we have really enjoyed not burning our own money.

We managed to get Thor in one family photo. Haha. He was too busy running around with the other dogs.

Harper decided to try and learn how to drink out of a water bottle and just drenched herself.

But wow I feel so lucky with this tribe of mine.

And then Asher got jealous and wanted to be held.

Seven years next month married to this man but we've sure been in love a lot longer than that.

We had a sprinkler going on in the back for the kids...this didn't take long. Haha.

My ride or die. We don't get enough photos together but that's about to change because we are headed on a girls trip Tuesday! That's right. No kids. I can't freaking wait. I might be tearing up right now I'm so excited.

Another Thor appearance.

Watching the planes/jets? go by for The Stadium of Fire show.

Harper with her great grandpa. I feel so lucky they are able to know each other. 

Ron of course going all out with the cake.

Harper wouldn't stop putting her fingers in it.

Only part of our crew. My parents were still hanging out in the back.

Harper really enjoyed herself.

Eleanor and my mom.
