Happy 4th of July

Who knew seven years ago when Jon and Brandy came with us to Jeff's home town (I guess you could call it that, he has lived so many places) to watch fireworks that it was something we would continue to do year after year. Even though we have great fun now that first year will always be my favorite. Sitting on the warm pavement all snuggled up with Jeffrey is a memory I will treasure even when I am old and gray.

when I looked back at pictures later I realized I didn't take nearly enough. Lan had a great time leaning against Bear and Bear thought it was funny too but only after I explained Lan was being funny. I look forward to Timothy being older, the boys will be each a year apart and I'm hoping they will be great friends.

He even appeared to watch the show for awhile

There is no pillow better than mommy

Brendon spent the entire show like this. The next day he told me his neck hurt, gee I wonder why.

Maybe next year I will be brave and ask someone to take a picture of all eight of us, who knows maybe by then there will be nine of us ;) you better get cracking Jon and Brandy cause it ain't gonna be us
