Happy Belated Fourth

We were so busy preparing for our cookout tonight that I didn't have time to blog. But that's okay because now I have lots of pictures to share with you from our party. We had some great friends come and also got to know some of our neighbors a little more. A very fun evening that still isn't over (Carson's best friend Andrew is still here. . . once they start the Wii it's hard to get them to stop :)

Amber and Jackson came tonight and Jackson got to enjoy his first fireworks. He didn't like the loud ones but there were some that whistled that he would just laugh and laugh at. It was adorable. Here he is kind of not sure what to think about the sparklers.


After it got dark we pulled out the big fireworks and made lots of noise. These next few are ones that Carson took with our camera and extended the time the shutter was open so we could write with our sparklers.






Then we decided it would be fun to all light them at the same time and run... it made for some pretty good pictures and is probably the most fun I have ever had shooting off fireworks.




The show ended with some pretty awesome fireworks.




Well I guess it's time to call it a night since we're going to early service tomorrow and then working in the nursery. I think I'm going to institute Sunday naps tomorrow! Good night!
