OUR 4th OF JULY.....

We had a rather quiet 4th this year. Most of the kids were in Utah for the Hansen reunion, Traci had to work & Jill and the kids spent it with her parents so we got together with Nate & Melissa and went to Melba to watch the fireworks.
No this is not Melba...LOL, but this picture was sooooo much better than the pictures I tried to take. Guess I need a big spendy camera if I want to capture fireworks cuz mine sure didn't do them justice! Actually, Melba had a great display! We were impressed! Before it got dark, Nate let Blake set off a smoke bomb! The smoke blew up onto the church lawn where a family was sitting.......Ooops!

Here is Nate apologizing to the couple.......they left! Ooops again!


Livie, looking very cute and demure!


Ellie, sitting on dad till he would give her licorice! It worked!

Ellie wanted to take a picture of me and Tony! Did a pretty good job!
Mom and Blake....It's getting dark! Yay! Not much longer to wait! Melissa read a book till dark! Wish I'd thought of something to do! The wait was a bit boring!
Grandma's getting excited for the show! Grandpa was not feeling well so he stayed home.
My highlight of the night was a family who sat in front of us and whipped out this beautiful rag quilt! WOW! I had to make conversation so I could take a picture of it. YAY, my next project!

Hope you all had a nice 4th!
God Bless America!~
