Fourth of July 2012

We had a wonderful 4th of July holiday this year! Our family came over to our house for dinner. We grilled hot dogs and made homemade ice cream.

After dinner, we loaded up and headed to the lake for the annual fireworks show. John Turner has gone every single year since he was born. He even went when he was in my tummy! He LOVES going to see the fireworks. He has never been scared of them at all. 

Here are my handsome men all decked out in their red, white and blue!

It has been HOT, HOT, HOT around here lately! We were kinda worried that it would be too hot to take the kids to the fireworks show. But lucky for us, it came a little rain shower and cooled everything right off!

Here is our annual family 4th of July picture!
(We have a picture of us here every year--with the exception of last year-- when I was too pregnant to attend!)

We actually got a picture of Gran and Grandpa with ALL FOUR grandkids! Usually this never happens! One is always crying!



The kids had a great time! They were excited to finally get their glow necklaces and glow torches that I had bought for them. 

We didn't know what Judson was going to do since he has never stayed up that late and he has never been around fireworks. Well, he did what he always does! He just smiled, was laid back and went with the flow! I swear he is the BEST baby in the world!!

And here is one reason John Turner really loves going to the fireworks every year: SNO CONES!


I just adore times like these with my precious boys! 


Judson's favorite part of the night was dancing to the band's music! We sat right near the band and he just loved it!


John Turner is not doing this because the fireworks are too loud. He is doing this because he thought the band was too loud!! HA HA!


Judson and John Turner both really enjoyed the actual fireworks part! They both just relaxed and watched the beautiful show !
