The 4th!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last posted!  I haven't even posted about Otis' b-day... I am a terrible mother!  (I know I am not... I am just mediocre and I am ok with that :) )

For the 4th of July we hung out at Sarah and Dave's and it was fantastic!  They are GREAT hosts :)  Can't wait to have our turn next year (in our new house :)) Anyway...

Picture Overload .... Enjoy! 

Otis LOOOOVES watermelon!  LOVES IT!  He ate several slices... and was in HEAVEN!

 The kiddos played on the hammock (so did I and it was WONDERFUL!)


Milli played dress up and changed about twenty times.  From princess dress to swimsuit and back to "regular" clothes and back to princess dress and so on.  NO JOKE!  


WATER FIGHT!!!!  Fun.... until some one (or someone's feelings) gets hurt, but mostly fun :) 




Fireworks!!!!  So fun to have aerials aloud this year.  
We had our own little firework show in front of the Pearce Residence.  LOVE IT! 


Abuela and Otis... awwww!


I love this holiday!  I LOVE this country!!!!  Its my home.  Even if I was not born here, I love it!  I love the freedoms that I am able to enjoy here and I love that this is the place I can call home.  
God bless America and those who sacrifice their lives so that I can enjoy this great land!

Looks like fun for all. Love that Milli is the dress-up queen. I know it must drive you nuts, but she is ALL girl isn't she?

It is the greatest country in the WORLD. I miss it. The pictures are great and it makes me miss being a kid when I see all of the fun things that kids do. Fantastic.
