Fourth of July

Every year we spend the Fourth of July with Nelson's family. We have just always done that!! We always have a huge all day long celebration! We swim, cookout, then light fire crackers!! This year was no exception!! Will and his cousin Logan had a BLAST this year!! They are right at the age (4 and 5) were everything amazes them! They are so much fun!!

When we got over to Nelson's parents house, Logan was already in the pool just waiting for Will to get there!! The boys swam and swam and just had a good time! Ajay didn't get to swim that day because he had an ear infection (again!!) but we all stayed outside to watch the older boys play! They really had a good time and even got up the nerve (together) to jump off the side of the pool!

Every year at Christmas, Tori and I always try to get the boys matching clothes, just because it's cute for pictures, plus they won't let us do it forever, so we have to get it all in while their young! Anyway, it was hilarious this 4th, both sets of boys wore the same July 4th shirts!! And we didn't even plan it!! It was great!! Too funny!! I can't believe out of all the 4th of July shirts in the world, we somehow managed to put both of our boys in the same shirts as the other!! Too cute and fun!!

Here is Will and Logan showing off their July 4th shirts.

And here is Ajay and Easton showing off theirs with Grandi and Daddy.
Here is Will swimming like a little fish!

Not, a smart thing to do Nelson, showing little boys how to shoot water guns!! I bet you can guess what happened next. . . .Everyone got soaked!!

Here is Mom and Ajay after the soaking!! Ajay really didn't mind, in fact, I am pretty sure he really really liked it and thought it was fun!!

Here is Daddy and Ajay, he is such a ham!!

This year Will got to do Sparklers and persistently tried to catch everything he could on fire! He has been watching his Daddy and Uncle Nate too long!!

"See boys, this is what happens when you light 200 black cats and place them in a gutter tube!"
Will and Logan were like two peas in a pod, everywhere together!

The first fountain of the night!

We had a wonderful Independence Day filled with Family, Fun, Food, and Fireworks!! It was a GREAT day and we made GREAT memories that we will remember forever!! This is Nelson's favorite holiday, always has been, and he really wants to make it bigger and better each year, so that the boys can really look forward to it and love it as much as he does! I think he did a great job in ensuring that! We had a blast!
