Happy Birthday America!!
We started off with a patriotic breakfast
Then we decided to mix it up from our usual water filled Fourth activities
and went to
We also brought along Sophie and Noah to add to our minion group.
The good minions!
And the transformed bad minions!
After the movie,
we headed home for a bit to relax and get food ready for the night's activities.
Then we headed back over to the Russo's house.
First thing's first: Setting up the water toys!
The kids were on the water slide 3 minutes before I hear GJ yell
"We've got a bleeder..but no tears!!"
Yep Anden was the lucky recipient of a prized bloody nose.
He was pretty proud of it! lol
Cleaned up and back into action within 30 seconds!
GJ was the Master Griller
Ryan was the Master...Observer
At one point I saw the boys scheme a plan and run off to the side yard.
I observed.
Finally I asked them what they were doing.
"Planting watermelon seeds so we can have our own in the backyard!"
Cute little boys!
Finally we ate a delicious dinner.
One bite into it and Sophie runs off screaming
"My tooth! My tooth!"
Yep she lost her first tooth.
She was quite the celebrity amongst the pint sizers.
I had to physically restrain her fans from seeking autographs until she was cleaned up!
Then more friends showed up
and after dinner the much anticipated firework show began!
Sparklers while holding a sleeping baby.
Now that's talent!
Ryan made a heart
Then GJ gave him a different suggestion.
Hhmm not sure where that arrow's pointing to!
Jackson and Noah with their more innocent creations
We LOVE the Fourth of July!
We LOVE America!
And we LOVE our friends!
