4th of July Weekend Fun

The fourth of July weekend was a blast! Hung out with friends and family and loved every minute of it! Went over to Beau's mom's house and the boys played together in the hammocks that were there. They had so much fun.



Landon actually took this picture of me and I was surprised when I was looking through the film. He actually did a good job! When little Beau was taking pictures I ended up with a lot of crotch and chest shots. It was funny. So this was Landon's best picture of the night.


They had little frogs that came out at night and the boys had a blast when they found one! So cute!


The boys chilling in front of the mini fireplace thing... loved this picture. :)


The night before the 4th and watching fireworks in the backyard... can you see how happy Landon was? He's smiling so big his eyes are closed shut!

Fruit Rollup Accident hahaha


Wheat field we were parked by for an hour and a half when we were on our way to Paloose Falls.

The stergion that most likely did the gentleman in... one was only an inch under the length of when he would have to throw it back in because it was too big. WOW!

The wife of the gentleman who blacked out while driving and she had to pull the vehicle into the field and get to the brake. She was SOOO glad we came by right about that time because we were seriously out in the middle of no where and she didn't have reception on her cell. So Beau called 911 and I chatted it up (and monitored) the gentleman. Gave them our phone numbers but haven't heard from them yet. It took the ambulance an hour and a half to get there! The sheriff took 30 minutes.

The boys when they were knocked out just before we made it to the Falls! Landon was even reading the christmas book that his Grandpa and Grandma Fullmer gave him. The cowboy book. I can't think of the name now, but the southern twisted Cinderella book. :)



Finally at the Falls and the boys immediately crawl up on the first thing they can and look over it at the water down below. I don't think I'll ever understand why boys have to climb on EVERYTHING or ANYTHING, but I will just have to accept it as unsolvable. lol




The falls were beautiful.





We passed by this railroad track right before we made it to the park/falls. So we walked up there so I could get a picture with my camera. I loved this!

I knight thee, Sir Stick! lol Sorry had to put what I was thinking because Landon would NOT put down the stick for this picture!

Boys knocked out again on the way home and when I looked around little Beau had not just one car seat belt on but 2! Funny boy! :)

Landon and Baby Drake! Blue eye knock outs!


Mom with the younger 3 daughters.


Playing cards with the kids. The memory game that she scratched the rules in so everyone got something. :) That's what Grandmas do right?!?!?!




The boys put a firecracker behind Leon as he was lighting fire crackers and they all thought it was funny! lol It was!

Linzey helping Landon with his sparkler! This was one of my favorite pictures of the night!




The absolutely amazing sunset that I DID NOT touch with editing. It was just too perfect that it didn't need any extra care. Beautiful. Makes you thankful for God's blessings and gifts to us.


The 4th was fun, beautiful, exciting, and made me grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and the chances we have to do what we want, when we want to, with those we choose to. I am very thankful to those who continue to serve this blessed country and thankful to those that died to make it free.
God Bless America.
