4th of July...

tad bit late, I know. A few days after the holiday, I tried to upload pics from my camera and they wouldn't budge. Did I mention that I accidentally left my camera, full of nice photos, in my hot car for 2 days? After that, my camera didn't "know" how to connect to my computer. So, I waited a while and now, I have successfully uploaded them onto my computer, phew!

I made some hairbows that were for Marley to wear on this great holiday. As usual I was running late with getting her ready and I wasn't able to get photos of the boys. So, here she is in her outfit and July 4th Bows...

We went near Rawhide with the Siler Family (Heather's clan), opened up our "trunks" and sat in the back of our cars while watching the fabulous display.

I am actually quite proud of myself for this nice picture!




All of our kids were in awe, screaming and jumping as each one burst into the otherwise silent sky.

Photos are starting to turn crazy in some areas...

Heather's youngest (Ethan-20 mos) wasn't so amused. He whimpered, burried his head into Mom's chest and held onto her arms for dear life! Then he dozed off right then and there! I have to say, that was adorable!

So, this was the first year I had a camera with a "fireworks" setting and I think they turned out okay. However, I was disappointed with a few blurry/strange photos. Take a look at these crazy pictures, all on the same setting of my camera as the above pics!

So, all in all, this was a fabulous evening, spent with dear friends. I am so thrilled that I actually got photos of the event this year...unlike last year when my kids fell asleep before we could watch any fireworks at all!
