Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone had a wonderful day off to celebrate our Independence!

We decided July 4th would be a good time to have a BBQ at our new home. We just had family come, to say thank you for helping us with the house and supporting us through this pregnancy.

We set up the pool for the kids to play in, in the backyard. Alden loved helping Momma and Daddy fill it up. We had my little brother, Johnny, come and swim and my neices, Hannah and Hayden stopped by with their parents and they jumped in for a while.

We had a BBQ with hamburgers and hotdogs, salads, Grandma Kays homemade mac and cheese, fresh veggies, and my mom brought Banana Splits for dessert! It was lots of fun. It was warm out, but there was enough shade in our backyard that it was comfortable. Even for a pregnant girl! :)

After dinner, we went to the front yard and ate banana splits and Lyndon and Johnny lit off the fireworks they bought while we waited for the local fireworks to go at 10:30 PM.

Of course, Alden is afraid of really loud noises, so Lyndon bought him ear plugs. He wore them most of the time and was able to enjoy the fireworks! :) Our town sets off fireworks every year. We usually drive up to the golf course and sit to watch the fireworks. This year, we were able to sit in our front yard and watch! It was so nice. We got a great view and didn't have to deal with a whole crowd of people and lots of traffic! We were able to enjoy dessert and watch fireworks.

I hope everyone had a wondeful day! :) (This is the type of picture you get with a one year old boy....)
