Stars and Stripes Forever!

We had a great Fourth of July! We love our country and had fun celebrating Independence Day!
We started out playing with some toys...


Jackson loves his Nana Charlene!

Then we went to a parade downtown and watched Daddy fly overhead to start the festivities...Jackson is terrified of the jets, though, and clung to me for dear life when they went by!


Notice the boo-boo on J's upper lip- he took a nose dive while crawling this morning and cut his lip. He was not too happy about missing his morning nap and hearing all of the loud noises coming from the parade. He was really good, though, considering the circumstances, and we all had a good time. He even fell asleep in the stroller for a bit. The weather was absolutely beautiful!

Mom and Charlene had on almost the same outfit! They looked cute!

After the parade we came home to grill out. Corn on the cob - mmmmm!

Then after J went to bed the adults enjoyed some wine around the fire pit. Charlene had her very first s'more and loved it!

What's this? Mom with two glasses of wine?? Whoa - take it easy, Mom!! :)
