4th of July

Here are some pics from our trip to Utah for the 4th....

Blaine's mom with all her grandkids. I love this picture! This is in Temple Square where we went to a new, temporary exhibit in the Church History Museum. It is the "I Am A Child Of God" exhibit and is centered all around kids. They had videos, a dress up/play area, baby dolls, and a few other activities. The kids really loved taking care of the babies, weighing them, and creating their birth certificates. Really a great exhibit for young children!

Brothers! "Brothers don't shake hands, brother's hug." NOT! Ha!

One of Blaine's brothers and two sisters with some of the kids.

Shelby and cousin Chloe on the 4th!

Grandma with some of the girls waiting for the BBQ to be ready.

Um....I think this was his FIRST cupcake. Ehhhh, who cares it was a party and he was HORRIFIED of the fireworks his dad was setting off. Very, VERY unusual for this little guy.

The master pirotechnician. That's what he said. I'll let him own that title.
Fishing and trying to get the dog out of the nasty water. EWWW!!

Grandpa Blaine fishing with some of the kids. They caught two pretty big fish. The mosquitoes and gnats that were out were a killer though...ick!

Father + Grumpy Son

Miss Sass. Posing of course. Being around her older cousins really made her act like she's 12!:)

After this my camera kind of broke so I gave up on taking pictures of the yummy, homeade ice cream, poppers, and sparklers! A lot of fun for the kiddos!!!

How fun to hang with Grandma and Grandpa and all of the family! Looks like everyone had fun - especially your hubby! Whenever we go back to Nebraska over the 4th, you will find me thinking that I am a pirotechnician myself! I love fireworks!!!

I love the pics of daddy and son fishing and of your little mama posing in her cute 4th of July dress!

Where are the pictures of you? Oh, that is right, mommies only take the pictures, they never get to be in them! Story of my life!
