Wait a minute. Where did July 4th go? Has it been that long?
Our celebration was a bit smaller this year than in years past, but it was just as much fun as it always is. Once again, we went to my parents' house, and there was no shortage of camera hams.
I love this urn on my parent's front porch…
I love her cute 12-year-old hands…
…And her middle school sense of style…
You'd think the child had thrown a grenade…
Sabrina had ideas of her own, until her Pops busted her…
I set the camera up in the grass for this picture, but I have no idea what we were laughing at!
Here's Mike, getting in touch with his inner Harry Potter…
I hope your July fourth celebrations were fun! Bre, we sure missed having you here with us this year. But just think… at least you didn't have to deal with this:

Great pictures!! That stuff that smokes out of the bottles in bright red and pink is quite impressive! I admit to being totally ignorant of that phenomenon. lol! Love the pic where you’re all laughing.

Looks like a good time was had by all! I can’t believe how grown up Sophie is getting to be. Sorry I missed you at the shop Saturday, I have a little something to discuss with you at some point. And thank you so much for making the trip and helping us out!

Great pics! And I can tell I haven’t looked at your blog in a while! When did Sophie start looking so grown up? 😉

Sophie looks SO grown up! Looks like the kids, old and young, had a great time! Our fireworks were all canceled, both public and private, because of the fires. 🙁 Enjoyed seeing your pics! Linda in CO

Fun, fun! For the first time, I can see the resemblance of Bre in Sophie (tp 11) where she’s looking down with the sparkling sparkler. Enjoy a bit of heat relief and stitching for the weekend!

The girls seem to change every time I see them!
The pics are just fabulous!! Sometimes I wish I had a few camera hams around here. No-one gets excited when I pull out the camera.
It looks like you had a super day with lots of fun!

I love how their spirit practically seems to jump off the screen. What an amazing series of pictures – you literally took us right there. So happy you shared this moment…they grow way too fast.
