We had a good 4th. Tim actually had the entire day off of work. I heard and saw a few complaints about the holiday falling in the middle of the week but for me, I thought it was awesome. It was SO nice to have Tim home and for us to all be together on a Wednesday!
Tim barbecued and we had some friends over to eat with us. They have a baby who has his first birthday today and he is so cute and smiley that he even made my ovaries tingle not gonna happen. And no, I do not have a picture of him. But just imagine a darling baby boy with big round cheeks and big brown eyes and chubby thighs.

Then we went over to our neighbors for our own little fireworks show. Actually, some of them were quite BIG. As quoted by my husband “Oops.”
The ladies and babies hung out inside while the boys played with fire outside. I have to say, it was a little crazy to watch my 8 year old lighting his own fireworks. EEK!
Oh and by the way, pretty sure this is the first holiday ever that I photographed with only my phone. My poor DSLR sat in the house all day. Whoops.
But here’s some pictures from 2 years ago on the 4th when I still had a baby myself… oh so cute!
Now we’re off to Texas for our Summer “visit-as-many-friends-and-family-as-we-possibly-can-in-a-9-day-time-span” trip. Some of it Tim is with us and some of it he is not. Wish us all luck and safe travels.
Later Taters.
Looks and sounds like a lovely 4th!
{And look at how proud your boy is! Love!}
Have a fabulous vacation, you!
xo
Happy 4th. Looks like you have some good memories stored in those archives.
Yay for mid-week holidays!
Have a safe and fabulous trip, you.
My hubs was off for the whole holiday, and more than 1 day off a week is a rarity for him so I was just happy to have him home an extra day. Have a great trip!
Gah. Your phone takes better pics than my camera.
I can’t imagine my 8 year old lighting his own fireworks. He is kind of slow moving. Yeah. No. My girls probably could have. They’re quick.
I love those trips back home.
Don’t you hate it when cute babies do that to you? Sigh…
Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. It would be so nice to have my hubby home during the middle of the week. Mostly for selfish reasons because I would like to sleep in just once
Have a great time in Texas!
Happy fourth! The kids look adorable.
Your kids are adorable all decked out in their red,white and blue!
Sounds like it was a fun 4th!
Your phone takes GREAT pics!
All of my pics on the 4th were from my phone too.
Have a good trip!
Looks like a good Fourth…and I agree that the holiday in the middle of the week was awesome!
Such cuties. K sure is getting big.
Sometimes it’s good to give the big camera a vacation, too!
