We'll look back someday, and I'll look at you and say "and I thought I loved you then": Fourth of July

The fourth of July is my favorite holiday. As it should be everyone's! Fireworks, sun, and food. Could it get any better?!? Well this year it actually did get better! My mom came to visit!! Ya, I was pretty desperate for some mom time. She came with presents, and the girls could not have been more thrilled! They were spoiled with her attention, and love. I was spoiled with her cleaning skills! She also got me some much needed cleaning supplies, and a mop! Which means I no longer have to get on my hands and knees to scrub the floor, hip hip hooray! This fourth of July would have been perfect, if baby Scarlett had graced us with her presence. Sadly she did not want a 4th of July Birthday (crazy girl). We got together with the Graff’s, and that is always a blast! Also Jill, Dave, Lex, and Des came to visit! It was so fun hanging out with them. The girls were thrilled to have buddies. Sydney and Sadie even showed them how to get dirty! I apologize to Jill, and Marlyn for the laundry you had to do. Than again my children taught them how to really party, and took off clothes! Not going to lie the fireworks show this year was somewhat lame! Sad I know, but true. We think there was an error, because supposedly this year they spent a ton of money on the show. If they did they got jipped. It was still a blast( get it Winking smile

) . There is a picture with Sadie, and Papa John. I have THE funniest story. So one morning Sadie wanted to play outside. Well it was really early, and I did not want her to wonder too far. So I did not enforce shoes. So Sydney and I were inside I was cleaning, and Syd was watching a show. Well I went to check on Sadie, and she was no where to be found. I was a bit concerned, but I was sure she could not get too far with no shoes, and it being mid afternoon I knew the asphalt would deter her(or so I thought). So I looked high, and low. To no avail. I knew that John was over at the mabin working, but I did not see him outside. So I hopped in my car, and was going to do a search of the property. As I drove past the mabin I saw John, and Sadie! So I drove over to grab her. John than explained to me that he had gone inside, to rest just for a minute. He was laying down on the bench in the kitchen, when he was scared near to death by a little 2 yr old demanding to know where grandma was!! Our Sadie had walked from my house to the mabin, bare foot, found the key opened the door, and let herself in!! After Papa informed her Grandma was not there, Sadie than demanded a juice! I was dying when I heard this. Sadie is one smart girl!
