Happy Birthday America!






Happy 4th of July all! Hope you all are having a great day off with your families.

I was woken up by Carson who barged into my room saying "mommy who's birthday is it?" (He must have seen the Flag cake I had made last night for the party today.) I told him it was America's Birthday. He asked "Who gets to blow out the candles". And I said no one. So he ran out to tell the others "Guys there are NO candles on this cake!!"

Before kids the 4th of July was a time when we would scout out the best fireworks show we could. The best one we have ever been to was the one in Boston with a live show from the Boston Pops. They even had stelth bombers flying over head. It was quite amazing. But now our lives are different. :) We now avoid any kind of fireworks show for many obvious reasons.

1. Its WAY to crowded to keep up with 4 little ones

2. It is Way past their bedtimes and we don't mess with that.

3. It is Way to loud and I am sure 2 out of 4 of the kids would be terrified at the sound.

Maybe next year...

So last night we had finally gotten the last one to sleep and they were all resting so peacefully and then BOMB BOMB!! Yes our neighbors were letting off their fireworks right outside the boys windows! They were so scared. Aughh!

Today our young families class from church threw a party at Steiner Ranch. There were 50-60 people there with lots of little kids and yummy food. We swam all day, The kids had a blast. Here are some photos of them today.
