4th of July

This year was little Owen’s first 4th of July!! Look how proud he is to be an American! What a cutie!!

We have had the tradition as long as I can remember to go to my Grandma’s house and watch the fireworks there the day before the 4th of July. This year was a little sad because it was our last time having a party there. My Grandma is now living with my Aunt and her house is being sold sometime in the next month. I have so many wonderful memories of parties in her backyard. I sure am going to miss that house but thankful for the memories that I have from there. So here we are celebrating 4th of July at my Grandma’s house for the last time.

We had such a fun evening at my Grandma’s. It was Owens first time with the big fireworks, and he did great. Just watched them the whole time. Porter and Kaden also loved them! Thanks so much everyone for such a wonderful evening.

We celebrated the 4th of July at our house this year. We had such a great time. 4th of July is one of my most favorite holidays. And here are some more cute little pictures of Owen his 1st 4th of July.

Thanks so much family for such a fun evening.

Our nephew AJ was so cute playing with Owen. Love these pictures.

Love my brothers so much. But we sure missed Erik!!

Now for the part that everyone (especially Paul) was looking forward to. THE FIREWORK SHOW! Seriously, Paul plans for this all year long! This is more fun to him than Christmas is. It is always so much fun seeing how excited he gets for it!
