Happy 4th!!!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!! Ours was pretty good. We went out to my Mom's house and had a very nice, relaxing time. The kids got to ride their pony. Caleb really likes the pony now! He doesn't ever want to get off. I think he even likes it more than Sydney. They love it at my Mom's(at the farm). They spent time playing in the dirt and hanging out with the chickens. We had a BBQ, then after dark we set off fireworks. Ours were nothing compared to some of the neighbors, but that's alright they spend the money and we get to enjoy them too. Most of ours were fountains and the kids enjoyed sparklers and black snakes. For the last few years we have spent this holiday with my Dad in Tucson, but decided to stay home this year. It was lots of fun though. Miss ya Dad!! It's alright though because he is taking us on a west Caribbean CRUISE in February!! Yay! can't wait! Oh back to the 4th...the kids ended up staying the night at Grandma's and most of the next day. Derek and I had a blast just having time for ourselves. I don't remember the last time we could talk without being interrupted or just talking about the kids and bills. We had a great time, I hope you all did too!
