Well I'm finally here to talk about our fourth of July! It was BUSY! Poor Jack was sick in the beginning of the week and passed it on to even poorer Ella that had to deal with it for the festivities! My poor lil fire cracker...

Luckily Ella is very portable and we packed her into the stroller, gave her lots of Tylenol, and she still had a good time! Even sucked it up to go on some rides, run with the kids a bit, and almost made it through all of the fire works.

Jamie got a big turkey for Christmas from his shop, so he saved it for a big get together, which just happened to be the 4th, and cooked it on the grill! YUMMY! Jamie's mom and dad joined us, as well as my mom, Corey, Anna and mini Cooper! There were yard games, lots of talking and after all the eating we headed down to the river for the rest of the night! My mom and I took Cam, Ella and Jack on lots of rides! My mom had to take Cam, and I got the lil monsters, but watching the sweet smiles on their faces made all the waiting and worrying (there were a LOT of people there this year) all worth it. Even Ella with her runny nose was smiling, and wiping with her tissue hehe! Around 10 the fire works start, which makes a long night for the kiddies! But there were no tears, no melt downs or anything! And Ella only missed the last 15 minutes of the 45 minute display of fireworks, while Jack just dozed a few seconds here and there, but almost watched the whole thing. Of course Tay and Cam were awake for it all!
