Happy Birthday America!!

We were lucky enough to be back home in Minnesota over the 4th of July. Even though I didn't get many good pictures, it was one of the best days home! We were able to enjoy the morning in the pool. Then, head over to a BBQ at my brother Matt's(thanks for hosting Matt!). Then, we were able to walk over to the best fireworks I have seen in years.
We had toys but she seemed more interested in playing with all our stuff. The most haliarious part was when Kourtney spit up and half my family almost lost their dinner;) Don't think we will be seeing little ones from them for awhile. Ok I'll be honest, I think it is less the throw up and more that my 4 kids scare the crap out of all my brothers and sisters.

Of course Lucas needed to document the experience too. Too bad all his pictures are big blurs. It's ok though, he has time to prefect his photography before he becomes a professional.

During the BBQ the kids made up a new game, hide-and-text. They take all the cell phones and each of them hide and then have to text the seeker one thing they can see as a clue to where they are. Technology has taken a wierd turn. They couldn't stop the texting.

Of course sometime you have to get a picture of the picture taker and Sunshine always makes a good addition to any picture.

This is my favorite picture even though it is blurry. Aren't Uncle Matt and Auntie Becca cute with the kiddos! 

 
Once the fireworks got started no one could take their eyes off of them. Even though I live in the greater DC area, there is nothing like hometown fireworks!!

All in all, it was a wonderful 4th of July. I only wish that I could spend every year with our family!
Miss you guys xo
