Woo- 4th of July 2009!

I uttered that phrase about 30 times on the 4th...mostly to annoy my fellow neighbors...it was super funny at the time...in my head. Anyway, we went to the pancake breakfast...which was pretty good...Jeremy wanted to leave about 10 minutes after we got there...he was also mad there was no bacon...so we went home and made bacon and we smelled baconlicious the rest of the day.

Then we went to my parents house...which are actually the pictures in the pool below...

Then we went home, took a nap and went to a BBQ about 4 houses down...thanks Kelli and Neal, it was super fun! The kids got soaked and we ate some good food.

Then we went home for another nap and got together with four of our neighbors, we all pitched in and got a ton of fireworks. I do have some pics of that:

This is pretty much what Elle did the entire time...at one point she even bit my shoulder in fear...maybe next year she'll be more into it.

After that we packed the girls up and headed over to my parents house...for another firework presentation...I think the girls had a great 4th and were definitely spoiled with their firework viewing pleasure. Unfortunately for us it was a late night and getting up for church the next day wasn't the easiest...I think we were 20 minutes late...I guess it's only one time a year, right? We get a pardon, don't we?
