Proud To Be an American


What an awesome day to be an American...of course every day is, but today it is super awesome! I absolutely love the 4th of July. I love the BBQ's, the fireworks, and the coming together of everyone. What an awesome country we live in! Although Obama is running our country into the ground---we wont get into that. (sorry Democrats, but you kind of suck right now). ANYWAYS, I am so grateful to live in this great Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Thank you to those of you serving or who have served for our country. We are forever grateful for you. Hope everyone has had a great 4th of July. We sure did!

Our small festivities started out the night of July 3rd--- 4th of July Eve. We busted out some sparklers for Addison which she LOVED! What kid doesnt love sparklers?? I still love them! Addison had a blast running around the yard and dancing with them until she tripped and landed RIGHT on her sparkler and got a pretty nasty burn on her neck...WHOOPS! We were just glad that her hair didnt start on fire :/ YIKES!

This picture defines Addison's personality....

More twirling...obviously before her fall




The morning of the 4th of July...we headed over to our Church for a Pancake Breakfast. We were greeted by decent food and the humidity. After eating breakfast, they had a kid's parade where all the kids were able to ride their bikes around the parking lot. The kids were supposed to decorate their bikes for the "parade" and I must say, Addison's totally rocked the house!! She totally had the best decorated bike...too bad there was no judging going on b/c we would have for sure won it! Anyways....

Here's Zoey wishing she could be in the parade...it was kind of a chaotic parade with kids racing around on their bikes in the parking lot, Zoey would have gotten ran over! So she got to sit on the sidelines cheering for her sister.


Here's Addison riding her bike in the parade...she was oh so adorable!



After the Church Pancake breakfast, we headed home to chill out for a bit before heading over to our friends Chuck and Amy's house to grill out and do some fireworks....before we left, we had some photo-ops going on.

Arent they cutest???? I sure think so!!

Adorable outfits. Having two girls to dress alike is so much fun. Glad your fourth was amazing...minus the burn on the neck.
