I posted on the other heading but couldn't resist posting here too. I was trying to get pictures of Maya with her Guatemalan flag and U.S.A. flag but she seemed more intersted in eating them. I got a few that I think turned out cute. Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July to everyone. I'm from Phila and it's pouring down rain here. Here are pictures I took of my kids earlier today. My daughter is a riot with her little 5 year old attitude. LOL In the second picture I was tickling her to try and get her to pick her up head and she couldn't stop laughing. My daughter is blind with some other issues so pictures take a lot of patience. Thank goodness for digitals so I can delete and retake.

Here is Trey today...lounging in his cowboy hat. At least the cup is red! (I'm a bad Mom who didn't even think about dressing him in flag colors). He liked the red-white-and blue cookies though and surprisingly wasn't afraid of the completley over the top fireworks our neighbors had going on!

Happy 4th everyone!!!

Here are ours. We had an awesome day. Went to a fourth parade and got lots of candy. Lit off fireworks at our house last night and then watched the bazillion fireworks going off around our house. We live in a subdivision that is surrounded by different little towns andthey all light off at the same time so we literally have about 6 firework shows that we can watch every year. Its awesome.
