July 4th!!!

We are lucky enough to sit up on a hill that overlooks the entire valley. (Top Photo) So just like we did last year, we threw a few "poppers" & sat on the front porch. We could see fireworks from almost every direction, & it was so fun! James got way excited whenever there was a big one or a really loud one... His comment was "Oh My Cow!"

Chylanne spent the evening with her friend, & the rest of us relaxed in our own front yard watching all the fun :) The evening was so beautiful. Clear blue skies (except for the smoke traveling up from California!) and warm - but cool. Couldn't help but sit there & wonder if our soldiers were celebrating too.

I got an awesome flag from Roberts a couple of weeks ago. It was on sale for $7.50! It's skinny & 8 feet long. The canvas is really thick and it's slightly tea-dyed. I LOVE it! I think I'm gonna hang it up in my house somewhere. It's kinda cool.
