I love the 4th of July! It is one of my favorite holidays! I love America and I love celebrating and reflecting on all the freedoms we enjoy! I feel so blessed to live in this country and be able to raise my family here! OK enough sappiness!
It was a hot and gorgeous day and we stuck to the usual plan! Parade, BBQ, lots of hanging out and talking and the fireworks! Loved every minute of it!
Our friends from Arizona the Wirth's have made it a tradition of spending the 4th with us the last several years and we didn't think they would make it this year. Jenn and Emilee however, surprised with a visit and what a surprise it was! We were all so excited to have them with us for the holiday!
The Parade
Savannah, Jonas Grace and Audrey in their 4th of July outfits waiting for the parade to start! It was a beautiful day sunny and warm - just as it should be! Jonas was just three weeks old last 4th of July - this 4th he really loved watching the parade go by! It was so fun to watch him experience his first 4th!

The parade is starting! Here comes the flag and everyone is anxiously awaiting the start of the parade!

Brent! Flash back to Brent's appearance at Jonas' birthday and just look at him now! We always give him such a hard time about his shaggy look and in my opinion with good reason because I do love the short and shaved look so much better!!

Savannah, Grace and Audrey watching the parade! What cute little patriotic girls!

Cute little Ashlyn!

Daddy and Grace at the fireworks! Grace was so nervous about the fireworks and yet just look at that look of wonderment on her face! She absolutely loved it!

Grace's face shows pure delight - I love watching my children experiencing joy!

Jonas watching his first firework show while sitting on grandma's lap - he loved every minute of it!
Ronie and Emily watching the fireworks! Ronie loved his first fireworks show too!

Our friend from Arizona Jenn Wirth and Audrey enjoying the fireworks!

The fireworks show in Idaho Falls is amazing! This does not even come close to doing it justice! It is so much fun to watch and somehow gets better year after year!
