~Independence Day~

A photo essay of our day... and a little food for thought.
I sat watching fireworks on a green grassy field next to a baseball field, playground, and the fabulous all american family friendly neighborhood surrounded by corn fields (where I dream of someday owning a home). I looked around at all the happy families and kids playing with glow sticks and sparklers. I couldn't help but reflect on how very blessed we are to live in this amazing country, where freedom still rings true and the futures of my happy babies are brightly filled with hope and endless possibilities. How very lucky we are...

ooohh i like the new layout very snazzy. tell your mom hi for me if she's still there!! that picture of alec with the glow stick reminded me of a story --long story short my nephew bit one and got that magic glowing stuff in his mouth and started yelling "it's spicy! it's spicy!" he was fine but everytime he has one now he tells us "dont bite this it's very spicy!"

You want to live in a neighborhood surrounded by cornfields? I thought you wanted to move to St. George.
