"One of my most favorite things!"

We were packing our "hamburger box" on top of the van, (that's what the boys call it), when it just started pouring down rain.

The sun was shining as bright as can be, but it was raining. I LOVE RAIN ON A SUNNY DAY!!

You could see the drops if the pictures were larger. I think you may be able to click on them to enlarge them.

This little snake was seeking refuge from the rain on our porch.

And this little creature was lucky enough to have an umbrella. It only rained once in the spring and he has been dying to use his "Brella"...

God Bless America!

"One Blessed Family!" Just a few highlights of our Independence Day.

A special thank you to those men and women who are not only soldiers but mothers, and fathers, sons, and daughters, brothers, and sisters, aunts, and uncles, grandmas, and grandpas. If it was not for the brave we wouldn't have our freedom.

"Ooo!"

"Ahhh!"

"Oh!"

"Wow!"

Britton & Ethan.

We got the boys these cool straw cups to drink kool-aid and eat donuts.

Ethan didn't quite get the fact that you don't have to tip the cup. He was all soaked so we let him go topless.

Of coarse Britton had to go topless too since Ethan was.

Technically this was Ethan's first Independence Day. He was so scared last year I had to take him in the house and he wouldn't even watch them through the window.

Brides Maid.

So this is the do I'm going to go with. I would have had a better back drop but it was raining.

I need just two more things. I good self tanner, and an experienced makeup artist to hide all my freckles. I guess I'm lucky though, my sister didn't put restrictions on the dress I could get. I was able to choose the one I wanted. Sorry no full length pictures yet. I was wearing my jeans under it this time. Not too fashionable. :)

Ready to go!

The boys are so excited to go on our trip to Florida. They have all their bags packed and can't wait. I don't think they realize the long drive that is ahead of us. But it will be worth it to see them have so much fun. My sister is getting married on the 12th and we are going to go to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World and we are also going to have dinner with Mickey Mouse and his friends.
Love to all.
