Independence Day





Well we did our celebrating of independence day a little early because that's how they do it in Allen. It was scorching hot outside but we tried to stay cool with water and rags. Steven had tons of fun with the millions of bounce houses, tattoos, hair stylings, food, fire engines, etc. We even got to watch an army helicopter take off. He thought that was really cool. Luke did amazingly well during the Smash Mouth concert and fireworks. I being a freaked out mom kept moving us back worried about his ears. Overall it was a good time... next time though I must bring a chair because I'm too old to sit on the ground.

On the real 4th of July we had a cookout just the 4 of us. Curtis made beef fajitas on the grillI cut up some watermelon, and made some mexican rice and refried beans. If that wasn't enough we decided to make smores - Steven's 1st time to eat them. He enjoyed roasting the marshmellows over the stove (hahaha). He decided to have two even though we warned him he would get full but he insisted and man I should have captured that look on his face! We also took some great brothers shots on that day. Luke smiles very differently for Steven than anyone else. I can definitely tell that Luke is going to follow his brother around and want to be just like him! Finally our Lady dog enjoyed being outside on the 4th although it was another hot day.
