Independence Day!

I love Fourth of July..I don't know why, I just do.  It's a holiday that comes without much pressure to do anything spectacular.  It's just about hanging out with family, eating good ol' American barbecued food, and enjoying a hot summer day. And more than anything we do on Fourth of July, it's just the feeling of Independence Day that I love!

Emma being cute!

Timmy and Mommy

People always ask how I tell the girls apart...the next two pictures are how.  It's just a look or an expression...they may look alike, but they are very different!

Emma

Kallie

Oh no he didn't......

Yes, he REALLY did wear that out!  And this was the approved outfit!  You should have seen the first one he picked out!  What can I say...he's patriotic!!!

Daddy and Emma

I couldn't believe how much they loved this huge slide!

Emma keeping cool with a sno-cone

Hanging out at Papa and Grandma's house for dinner.  This is what trying to take a picture of all three of them is like - Timmy wants to put his arm around everybody, Emma wants nothing to do with it, and Kallie is only worried about one thing....her pop!

4th of July wouldn't be complete without a little patriotic tattoo...

Me and my girls ready for fireworks!
