Fourth of July

This post is a month late, but I still wanted to recap the fun we had at home.

We had a wonderful Fourth of July. It was filled with family, food, and fireworks!!

First we had a cookout at The Clements' house. The food was soooo good! We always eat REALLY well when we go home. Carla also made an Oreo Ice Cream cake, that is a family recipe, and now one of my favorites.

Nathan came down from Colorado and brought his girlfriend Kendra. We loved meeting her, and had so much fun hanging out with them!!! We look forward to many more of those. :)

Here is the four of us hanging out on the patio.

Kelty made his first trip to Amarillo and loved it! He enjoyed playing with new friends (Heidi and Fenway) and going crazy at the grandparent's houses.

Here are my sweet boys.

I love how this picture turned out!! These are the Clements boys: Keith, Bryan, Nathan, and of course Kelty.

This is little Brian. He is Bryan's cousin Jay's little boy. He loved Kelty, and Kelty was so sweet with him. He just laid on the floor and let Brian do whatever he wanted.

This bodes well for when we have children someday. :)

That evening we picked up some fried chicken and had a picnic in the back of my dad's truck. We watched the city fireworks with my parents. The fireworks were a little delayed, but we stuck it out and it ended up being a great show!

Had to include a pic of this little firecracker!! Borrowed from my brother's blog.

Family time is always the best. We don't take this for granted now that we live so far away.

Happy 4th of AUGUST!! :)
