Happy 4th!!!

WEll actually it was the 3rd of July, we got the pleasure of meeting my sissy and her husband Jesse and a few friends at the local park for "Tailgating" actually just the kids playing ball with a few friends and us eating chips and dip and grapes and Raisins, but fun all the same! 5 minutes after we got there and got food out it started pouring!!! Thank goodness for Ariel, because I forgot my wonderful camera in the back of the truck and she grabbed it!!!I heart her!!! but anyways the ran stopped and the kids continued playing "races" and "football" and the adults chatted and had a fab time! Fireworks started about 9pm and for a small town they were good! Char sat right next to Ariel the entire time and they both picked out boy and girl colors!



The fourth was a bitter sweet day, we had a big bbq\ going away party at my parents house. The bbq partly for the 4th but the going away part for my baby bro who left today(the 5th) for project challenge. He'll finish HS then decide which branch of the military he wants to enlist in( at this point it's the army) We have one family day to see him in 3 months, then he'll be out for a while in dec.! Very different being that none of the brothers and sisters have been apart for more than a week or two!!!! My poor mom and dad have to be feeling a little old( i know they are reading this hehe) their last baby leaving the house!

Monday we get the pleasure of spending time with our family and our close family friends the loyd family out at box canyon for Jojos 16 bday!! pics to come later this weekk!!!
