Celebrating the USA



Ta-da! We finally stopped and had someone take a shot of all of us... but we're sun-speckled, and Norah is looking somewhere else. Casey's mom has some better shots on her camera and once she e-mails those to us, we'll share. But look at how patriotic we are!

To celebrate the 4th, we went to the Casey's parents' house and barbequed, roasted marshmallows, and lit some fireworks. Also, I made ginormous brownies for another birthday celebration for Haddon. (He's not a big fan of cake- go figure!)

It was a long and fun day that we enjoyed very much.


I don't know why Haddon looks like he's afraid of me... really, I'm a nice mommy!


Pappa gave all the kids a ride on his tractor- very cool!






Nanna got some cheap little squirt guns, and the kids went nuts over them! They ran around squirting each other, and giggling. Of course Cade and Haddon had a duel... they kept doing this- just stopping and attacking each other with the guns. Such boys!



This expression of Cade's is priceless. He's shooting and being squirted.


Neither one of the baby cousins liked being in this floaty toy, but Haddon sure did!

very patriotic... I am impressed and want to know how much thought went into the color-coordinating ahead of time!
