4th of July weekend!

So it has been awhile since I have blogged...so I thought I better catch up! The 4th of July weekend was a wonderful weekend. Lots of time with family and lots of great fireworks! My cousin and his family came down from Wichita Kansas and spent the weekend with us at my sister's house in Wheeler. We took our 4-wheelers over there and so did my dad. Let me tell you...the kids LOVED riding the 4-wheelers with us. My youngest nephew Houston rode with me quite a bit and all he would say was "FASTER FASTER"!! He is gonna be a speed demon! Justin enjoyed riding with Courtlynn on her 4-wheeler....those 2 were trading off driving so often that we thought they had figured out a way to switch drivers while they were still moving!! LOL
We had a GREAT fireworks display. It was a lot of fun to watch them being set off (the guys were setting them off) because it was raining. All the kids & women were sitting under the canopy out of the rain and they would set one off and then we would all stick our head out from under the canopy and watch the fireworks! I am sure it was quite comical to watch us but everyone enjoyed it!!! Here are a few pics of some of the fireworks!
So my niece Sierra just turned 2 and my sister had said that she had been scared of the fireworks that they had been setting off in the evenings. We were all concerned that she would be scared that night but boy did she surprise us. She LOVED the fireworks. She was watching everyone light them and would walk right up to where they were going off. That evening, she wanted to hold a sparkler. My sister lit one for her and off she went with it. She LOVED the sparklers!!!
The next day my parents came back over and we all got to hang out and visit! The kids played in the water and rode the 4-wheelers. Sierra loved her new swimsuit...and oh was she CUTE!!
