July 4, 2010
Rachel kept saying all day 'I'm so essited its the 4th of July!!"
when did he become old enough to play baseball in the street... with the big boys?!
she woke up from her nap, just in time to watch the early show :)
loved the hydrangeas, but accidentally zoomed in on the tree.
he told me yesterday, "when I'm 31 I'll still hug you a lot." :)
our neighbors all put on one of the best block parties I've ever seen! Topped with music, yummy food, drinks, games, movies {played by a projector on the neighbors back fence}, our neighbor is the Fire Chief and so he brought his firetrucks down and let the kids climb on them... and of course, fireworks! We had our friends the Fergusons over and enjoyed the time with them and our neighbors, all night long. Seriously, we didn't end the fun until 1am.
Halfway through the night Jason had the idea to take the kids to the park up the street from our house, to see if they could catch fireworks shows all over our area, above the trees. Turns out, he had a great idea! I went up later with him and we could see the fireworks displays in Seattle!!

the front door stayed open all during the festivities, because going out and coming in was the theme :)
Kara loves baby Owen {bee-bee ahh-wen}
I think she and I were trying to figure out how to keep him :)
I think this is my favorite picture of the whole night :)
hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!

Also, I have no idea why Rachel's hair looks red in that first picture... maybe the flash?
Are those fireworks in the photos the ones you guys were putting off on your own block? Spectacular!
P.S. I love my hydrangeas too!!!
Yep, the fireworks were set off by each of us. Everyone contributed (except the Arnolds :-)
I have to credit my husband for the fireworks pictures. I was holding Kara and he had the camera :)
