Independence Day BBQ

My big helpers - Nolan was super excited for the cookies and rice krispie treats!

We had Pam and Doug, Brady and Brianna, Justin's cousin Ryan (who drove down from Spokane), Preston and Devin's family, Mark and Mandy's family, Paul, and us. It was such a fun group!

These boys were pretty cute just perched on the steps eating their food.

Ok, but this might have been the cutest pose 😄

Anne and Caden

Warren was telling Mark all about life (and pointing out who is dad is haha)

Cousin Paul has been missing Caden snuggles

We've really been having fun with Justin's new cornhole set this summer. Doug and Ryan were pummeling everyone - that is until Justin and I came along and de-throned them 😁

The boys LOVED cousin Ryan. Well...Branson was terrified of him for the first couple of hours, but warmed up to him after awhile.

Preston and Mark took turns bouncing the kids on the trampoline. Rhett always seemed to bounce way higher than anyone else haha. The fun ended abruptly when Nolan bonked heads with someone else (not even that hard, but if you know Nolan right now, you know he can be a tad dramatic sometimes when it comes to injuries).

Sparklers!

Funny story, just a minute or two after this a firetruck came up the street and told us we couldn't do fireworks. We had done a few little ones (that went up no more than 4 feet!) but played dumb and said, "oh we're just doing sparklers, we can't do sparklers?" Apparently you can't. Lame! Oh well, we already had the fun haha.

I love my family so much! I love that they all came and I hope they had a good time. I sure did!
