Independence Day part2

We had a fun filled fourth of July. We started off the morning with yummy Pancakes and eggs. Not just ordinary pancakes, but delicious Canadian Coyote Pancake mix. Since Jon is half Canuck, he enjoys the Yummy treats of the "motherland" and tries to implement his tasty treats into our household. It is by far my favorite pancake mix and if you're ever in Canada, you must purchase a bag..Okay, enough of Canada. :)

We relaxed most of the day and simply spent time together as a family. Around 1:30ish I was busy in the kitchen preparing for our BBQ. 3:30 came around and we met up with our friends Leigh and Jason and their beautiful baby girl Haily down at the pool. We were so happy that no one else decided to go swimming. We had the entire pool, Hot tub, all to ourselves. It was a gorgeous day-Not too hot, but still hot mind you. But not "I'm going to melt" hot. Jon did an amazing job at the BBQ (as usual) We had us some yummy BBQ Chicken, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Seven Layer Dip/Chips, Fresh Pineapple, Strawberries, Potato Salad, and Brownies. YUMMY IN THE TUMMY!!! After stuffing our faces, we all went swimming!!!! Time flies by when we hang out with our friends. They are so much fun to be around and we appreciate all that they do for us.

Every Fourth of July, the park by the river has an amazing firework show, events, etc...However it didn't start until 10pm..And for all of those people who know Jon, know that he is a grandpa and is IN bed at 8:30-9pm. So we had to scratch that off our list. However when he was snoring away at 9:30, I was able to watch the firework show off our balcony. We love this country and we know how blessed we are to live here. "God Bless America!"

Looks like you guys had a super fun 4th!! I can't get over how big Keira is getting! She is so cute! So you're moving to Vegas??? Did you know that I'm hoping we have our intern there?? If so we totally have to be friends and ACTUALLY hang out! :) If not, we do go down and visit so often (Bryson's family). We'll have to meet up one of these times!
