This years celebrations were different from our norm. They week started out with going to a neighborhood block party with Colton's family. Everyone brought a salad or something to share and their own meat. We spent the daylight eating, chatting and laughing. The boys ran around with fireworks like it was Christmas. After it was dark we all gathered to watch the boys set of A LOT of fireworks. They had such a good time. It was a great way to kick off the 4th of July!
Kenlee started coughing Monday night and by Tuesday morning it sounded really barky so with the holiday I called the doctor. The poor little girl has croup again. Luckily we had caught it fast enough that he could give her the steroid in his office and we didn't have to have an ER visit this time. Because of this we had to cancel the pool party with Kenzie and let Kenlee rest. Instead we had a quick bbq with Blake's family and then headed off to watch the Logan fireworks. Thanks to the Olson's we have a fabulous place to watch the fireworks. We all go to Grandpa Johnson's house on cliffside. It looks straight at over the island and right at the stadium. Its awesome!
Waiting for the fireworks to begin :)
I spend to morning of the 4th finishing putting the girls out fits together, making cupcakes for the bbq and just trying to get us all ready to go. We headed over to my parents house to have a bbq at 1:00 with the Olsons and Marci and her kids (Travis was out of town on business) Kenlee and Nyah had such a great time together. They hadn't seen each other since before Jordyn was born.
My cute little firework!
Still cute but slightly more sassy firework.
All the girls in their's patriotic outfits.
After the bbq we all headed to cutler to play in the water and hopefully cool off. It felt so good to get out in the water and play.
Blake and I left the girls on the shore with Grandma and Liz and took our turn to Knee board. It had been a long time since I had done this but it was sooo fun!
Blake had only ever been on the tub so he decided to try the knee board. He got up on the first time and did AMAZING! He handled everything we threw at him.
When he finally crashed it was so shallow he could stand up in the gross mud, YUCK!
Karlee was being silly and wouldn't put the hat on so her nose won't burn. Colton took charge and wore it to protect her nose for her. Now that's a good man!
Kenlee loves her life jacket!
Jordyn spent her time enjoying the shade on shore. She was sporting her very cute swim suite!
Kenlee was such a little diva! I asked her to say cheese and she looked at me.......
then turned away and pulled the hat down.
We had such an amazing 4th full of great people, awesome food and wonderful fun!
