4th of July!

What a fun time we had for your first Independence Day/Fourth of July!  In the morning, we hit another fireworks stand with Daddy.

Around 5:30 p.m. the party began... we had a barbecue, campfire, and a sleepover!  Who came over?  Grandpa James and Jalaine, Jenni, Wes, and Coen, Stacey, Dave, Elizabeth, and Sarah, plus their cousins Katie and Addie, Jen, Jon, Owen, and Brynn, ... and four doggie guests.  

 It was doggie fest 2010!

Guiness and Belle ... and Owen and Jen of course! 

Brynn and Daddy are special buddies.  We are so blessed to have Jen and Jon back!  They just bought a house in the 'country' and will be a bit closer to us all.  Woo hoo!

Owen and Sarah played croquet.

Titus and Daddy snuggling as fireworks are being lit.

 Chillin' at the campfire, and your friends playing in the yard.

How many kids does it take to get Jon off the ground?

Brynn, Elizabeth, Addie, and Katie slept on the back porch and made it through the night.  Aren't they adorable?

In the morning we all had pancakes for breakfast and hung out in our pjs.  

Then we took Titus to the doggie park for some fun, followed by naps! (more details later when Mommy's not so tired!)
