Fourth of July Festivities

Mimi & Paka joined us in St. Louis for a fabulous 4th! We started off our weekend by attending the VP Parade downtown. Here's my #1 cutie patootie in his stars and stripes.

And here's my #2 cutie patootie in her red, white & blue. I never got a picture but she had bloomers that said "Lil Fire Cracker" - sooooooo cute! I never knew what I was missing with girl clothes!

Mimi and her first grandson. Nate was in heaven to have Mimi here for so long (and Paka too!)

I wanted a family photo since we were all dressed up in our patriotic garb. Sometimes with Nate you have to take a silly one before you can take a serious one. So Nate and I were playing along, but Lila & Scott were not so much.

I think this is our first picture as a family of 4 - besides the horrible horrible I'm not letting anyone see picture that we took in the hospital.

Mimi & Paka - taken by Nate!

Just because you can't have enough photos of red, white & blue baby.

I was able to accomplish a big item on my to-do list while Mimi was here - we went shopping for a new table for our living room. When I get it all put together, I'll post some pictures!

Patriotic themed outfit #2. This shirt was Nate's and I paired it with a skirt to make it girly and wahlah!

On the actual 4th, we cooked out and did some small fireworks in our yard. The spectators...

Nate was the chief firework performer...

I think Nate wanted to light the yard on fire...AGAIN.

Paka was Nate's assistant because he is lighter challenged - as in we don't let him have a lighter.

I hope you had a wonderful 4th!
