Though it isn't my favorite, the 4th of July is way up there on my list of favorite holidays!
This is my cute niece, Autumn, who is going to stay with us for a couple weeks.

We got out the kiddie pools and some slippery slides.

Kim and her
amazing appetizers! :)

Trying to dry off and warm up from the cold water!

Jack was still napping, so he missed the
family shot!

Sun and sidewalk chalk, sounds like
fun to me!

It is hard to believe Kim could find some down time.

Go Kenny!

Go Tanner!

Go Tash!

Go Riley!

Go Jackson!

Go Hailey!

Go Autumn!

Here comes Tanner again!
Go Carley!- she wasn't a huge fan of the cold water.
Hailey and Autumn spent a long time trying to tame the Riley monster at the bottom of the hill!
Autumn and Hailey have become pretty good freinds (Autumn is only about 7 months older).
Cute Tanner, and you can see the girls fighting Riley in the background!

Covered in
war paint- chalk.

Silly Girls!

Sweet little ones!

What is the 4th without a
firworks show?

...and sparklers, of course!

Our show was courtesy of Kenny and Ryan (the pyros)!
We are grateful for the freedoms of our country and the blessing of family and friends!
Hope everyone else had a great time too!
