GOD BLESS AMERICA

 

TheTrueFam’s  Fourth of July was a fun memorable one, we slept in (brody is getting good at that since were sleeping in everyday this summer) had a fun little festive breakfast then got around and headed over to Independence for the parade, we hadn’t been in a couple years so peyton was excited! : )

Of course the kids were in their fashionable outfits!

and we had to take a few family pic’s!

once we got there the kids were hungry so we got some food and found somewhere to sit, (I noticed little man wouldn’t eat very much and was acting very tired)

there were so many pretty flying flags!…

after we left the parade, we took ryley up to the golfing range to meet a couple friends and play for awhile

while we headed back to the house to lay brody down for a nap (and gave him some tylenol) and started decorating the yard with our flour stars.. which by the way is a pain and we wont be doing again ha!..

when brody woke up he seemed to be doing better so he played outside for awhile

we made these yummy strawberries, which didn’t turn out as pretty because I don’t like white choc so instead I made my own cream cheese frosting so they were really good but kinda funny looking.. and some fun drinks to have with our dinner, we made chicken taco’s, with all the fixings!

then later that evening we went over to our friends house/neighborhood where they do a block party type thing and put off these awesome (illegal) fireworks, we brought our own over to do there also….the excitement from my favorite little ones was contagious!! they literally did these big great fireworks for over 2 hours, it was crazy..but so cool to watch a free show! the cops ended up coming right before we left but the funny thing is one of the guys doing the fireworks IS a cop/detective.. so the two cops ended up talking and the cop left and never came back so I guess it pays to have a cop in the neighborhood when you do illegal fireworks lol??!

brody was really tired and so cold (think he had fever) he was shaking so I wrapped him up in 2 big blankets and he fell asleep in my lap and missed most of the big fireworks, poor baby the next day we discovered something wasn’t right with him : (

the fireworks were fantastic!!

Hope your fourth was as fun as ours…and that you took an extra moment to thank Jesus Christ for your precious FREEDOM!
