July 4th

Today was another great family day! The kids and I started with a 4 1/4 mile jog (them in the jogging stroller, me pushing). Sadie decided to run with me a little today. She would jog until she saw a white car then get back in the stroller. Then she would get out and jog again when she saw another white car...after that we came home and rested a bit. We turned on the sprinkler and let the kids play while we prepared lunch.

The kiddos love to fill whatever container they can find with water, then go "water" the flowers for me!!

The menu for the day was: fresh grilled corn on the cob, hot dogs, homemade mac n cheese, watermellon and chips and guac. Yumm!!

Ahhh...summertime!!

After lunch we toasted some marshmallows over the open fire of the gas grill and enjoyed some smores!!

Little B got to have a toasted marshmallow inside of his graham crackers. No chocolate for him as we are still battling his dairy allergy!! He didn't know the difference and was quite happy!

Yumm!!

Sadie enjoyed her smore open-faced. She wasn't much of a fan of the graham cracker, but loved the filling!!

Evidence of a love of the filling!!

After naps and baths, we headed out to join the rest of the city at the Yorba Linda fireworks show. We decided to walk the 1 1/4 mile since we would probably have had to park that far away anyway!

The wonder in her eyes just amazes me!!

Our sweet family! July 4, 2011

It was a good night with an amazing fireworks display!! We had great seats and the kids LOVED it! Braden was scared right at first, but then he settled down and wouldn't stop jabbering about everything he was seeing. It was precious. Sadie just sat and watched and took everything in. I love how our kids are so different, yet so wonderfully themselves!! What a wonderful day!
