the 4th

Our holiday couldn't have gone better. 

Simultaneous naps for all boys.

Sunburn stripes.

Patriotic clothing.

Watermelon. BBQ chicken. Cheetos. Ice cream cones.

Family. Smiles. Laughs.

Fireworks.

Zonked out kids.

My happy boys.

Four out of the five (almost 6) grandkids- pretty much two sets of twins, right there.


Eileigh always has the best little snippets to say, and is always smiling (except when Boone is too rough or incessantly teasing her)


Their love and friendship runs SO deep.


Lovin' on their cones.


 Ahh, Finn. A normal expression.

 Selah never ceases to crack us up with her spunk and sass! Her ponytail was adorable!


Tripp was content to hang with Grammie.


 White denim- the epitome of summer.



Now on to the iphone photos (and video clip) of gigantic watermelon, fireworks, and diving into tall grass...





Hope y'all had a great time celebrating our nation's freedom!
Pin It!

I'm so glad to be back and blog stalking you! Glad I didn't miss too much. Looks like you all had a fun fourth. Seriously, how do you get your boys to not only look at the camera, but SMILE? You are wonder woman I tell ya!

These photos made me smile! It looks like you had a perfect holiday. I hope that sunburn is on the up and up! That's the only thing about fun in the sun- sometimes, you pay for it. Happy weekend!

Your boys are adorable! Cousins are simply the best. And it's so great that you have boys and the cousins are girls. Such a nice match!
