I guess the goal of posting a blog a day for the month of June was a little lofty, but I am impressed with myself that I did do as many as I did. That being said, I thought I would get back on here and put up some pictures of our July 4th Celebration. This year we spent the holiday with Marc’s extended family. Getting together with the Lara’s is always a good time. This time was especially nice because the Birch family (Marc’s sister) was in town from Denver and they were able to celebrate with the rest of us. YAY!  Even more YAY than that is fireworks are not illegal to purchase in Colorado so Aaron treated us all to a fantastic light show in front of our house Saturday night.  I think some neighbors and passers by were as impressed as we were.  Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery juice and I did not get any pictures of the fabulous show.  I was able, however, to get some pics of the kids with their sparklers which was also fun.

Sunday after church Audrey and Gracie helped me make a cute July 4th treat that I had seen online and had to try.  Look how great they turned out.  Way to go girls!!

How’s that for A Bald Eagle’s Nest?

This next picture is simply because Sophia is super cute and looks like a bobble-head from this angle.

Next, we were off to Casa Grande for dinner, a patriotic family home evening, a fireworks show, and of course, fun times with cousins!

Then off to the fireworks show!

It was a great way to spend our Nation’s Birthday!
