Happy Fourth!!!

The fourth is my favorite holiday. Every year i soak it up as much as possible and drag my family along to. Jason being the best husband ever goes along with me. I love you babe. :)
We had so much fun, we took the kids to see the movie: Monsters vs. Aliens it was alright i am glad we only paid a dollar to go see it though. Then we came home and had a BBQ, did our own little fire work show then we went over to watch the city fireworks. While we were there waiting it decided to rain on us. It wasn't just a little shower it was a huge thunder storm. Everyone ran under one little Pavilion they had at the park and was huddle up together. Luckily we had our blanket because it was a bad storm the wind was making it blow sideways and everyone was drenching wet but the smart ones who put there blankets over them. Because i LOVE fireworks so much we waited for it to stop and when it was done the sun came out and was really nice the rest of the night. There was the most amazing rainbows after it stopped raining. There was a double rainbow and one of them was a full rainbow. Gorgeous.
I am glad we stayed because the fireworks were great. Maddie didn't know what to think of them. She did alright with the ones we did our selves but i think the noise scared her. She would cry then look at the firework and say: "pretty" or "ahhh" then when another one would go off she would cry again. haha... silly girl.
All in all we had a great day and can not wait until next year.

These pictures are not in any order because i couldn't move them around.

That last picture is so perfect! I ditto the lovin' 4th of July...it's such a laid back holiday, no presents, no parties, usually no company, just family time and fun! Who doesn't like that? And of course celebrating our great nation. (c; LOVE Maddie's dress! SO CUTE!

Everytime you posts pictures of your kids, it seems like they are just getting bigger! Maddie is adorable in her 4th of july dress. The last picture is my favorite of Collin and Maddie. Her hair looks like it is getting lighter. Is it? Maybe its just me! lol. Your kids will be gorgeous/handsome when they grow up. I can already tell! It sounds like your weekend was fun! That is crazy that it rained, but at least you got to see the beautiful rainbow!

I enjoyed this post! That's cool that you stuck around for the fireworks. I would have probably wimped out(and feel bad for leaving). Love the pictures of the kids. What a great Independence day dress Maddie had on. And the pictures of you are great. You are gorgeous Natalie!!
