4th of July!!!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We had a pretty awesome 4th of July! Chad (my brother in law) flew in on the 2nd of July to be with his family plus us of course for the fourth! It was so much fun having him here. As an added bonus my Dad and Sandi called us up while we were driving home from California and wanted to see if they could come up as well. We of course were really excited about it and said yes! To say the least we had a full house but everyone was able to have their own rooms and be comfortable which was great! We went to the parade in the morning to watch Lim! We weren't able to get a picture of Lim : ( There was too many soldiers and he was on the oppisite side where we were but it was Awesome none the less and to hear everyone cheering and clapping and to hear all the comments of how thankful people were for our soldiers, it brought tears to my eyes. I just want to say that it is great having a husband serving and fighting for our country! The boys and I couldn't be more proud of him! : ) After the parade we went home fed the chillin's and put them down for a well needed nap. We came home just in time. Dad and Sandi called us to say that they were at a gas station on post and needing one of us to show them how to get to our house. After naps we went to our good friends house the Jones' and had a blast! Lots of good food. I ate way too much but loved every bit of the food. They smoked a turkey and a brisket! Yummy!!! There was lots more of good food but too much to name it all. : ) Then we played games and watched the fire works from their house. So nice not having to worry about traffic and all that jazz! It was great! I did get bit by some wierd bug! My whole arm was swollen the next day! It was crazy but we said some prayers and it went away!!! I am so grateful for prayer! Chad stayed till the 7th and Dad and Sandi left on the 6th of July. It was a short visit but a fun one to say the least. We all have Great Memories to cherish! It was a Great 4th of July!!!! : )
