Our 4th of July

This year for the 4th of July we decided to stay home to work on some home projects, but we did host a mini 4th of July party here. My mom, Steve and brother Brian came to visit for the weekend and then our friends Jake and Rachel also joined us in celebrating the 4th. We had a great night filled with "smoked ribs" that the boys made, all kinds of 4th of July treats, bean bags, water fun, music, and of course fireworks! 

Now, before everyone came over to celebrate we started our morning out by heading to the Lenexa 4th of July parade with Gavin's buddy Iassc and our friends Jon and Jennifer. Luckily, this year Gavin was not scared of the firetrucks loud sirens. 

Gavin enjoyed all the parade candy....as any kid does! He had his very first sucker! 

Ready to celebrate!!!

My mom and Gavin found a little frog and they put it in his watering can.....he loved carrying the frog around and showing everyone. 

Cheers To: Family, Good Friends,  and America! I hope you all had a great 4th of July.
