The Fourth

We had a fun and very busy fourth of July weekend!  My sister came into town which was nice because we hadn't seen each other in a few years!  My parents were also here after they closed on a second home right down the street from us!  My brother and sister-in-law and fam didn't get to come this year as my nephew was sick :(!  Hopefully next year!  Then on Monday, Greg and Jaren and the girls came.  On Saturday night, my parents kept Crosby and Wade and I took the older two boys and Shelley to see the fireworks in Fayetteville.  It was a beautiful night, weather was perfect, and we had a good time.  Callahan has come so far in watching fireworks this year.  Although he sat through it with his ears covered, he at least watched without crying and was outside!!! Last year, we couldn't even get him to look out the window at the ones in the neighborhood.  Huge strides this year! Like my green swim hair??  Straight out of the pool to dinner and then fireworks!

 Olivia was so sweet....she walked over and reached for my dad to hold her.  Closest he'll get to having a grandaughter!  : )

 Monday night, we shot fireworks off in the street of our neighborhood.  This was the first year that Carson shot off a firework by himself!  Crazy!

 Cal was so tired, but hey....can't complain....he was outside!!  Woo hoo!  Not taking his hands off his ears though.  He gets that from me!

 Still outside!

 Crosby was so worn out the next day that he fell asleep at the table before I could feed him his lunch!
