Independence Day
This year we got home from the Cook Family Reunion just in time to join the Lundberg’s for a Family BBQ and Fireworks on the deck. Maddi and Jaymz had lots of fun playing in the back yard and us adults had a good time chatting with each other. The food was so good, we ate so much are stomachs hurt! I didn’t realize how long it has it been a since I have been on the deck to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks…all the trees have grown and cover a lot of the lower ones. Even though we could not see all of the fireworks we enjoyed them a lot and Jaymz cuddled up to me on my lap and watched them, although by the time they where over he had fallen to sleep…such a sweet little guy!
Sunday the 4th we went to Baby Jersey’s Blessing, she is so sweet (I think she makes me a little baby hungry). It was nice to talk with the extended family, we are so excited that we live close enough to go to these special events, even though we miss all of our friends back in Colorado.
Later that evening we went to our church’s retirement fireside (the church was bought by the city and will become a city center). It was heart breaking because it was my childhood church building and my family has had 4 generations that have gone to that church. I am glad that it is not being torn down but I am still sad.
That night once we got home and got a little settled in we did some fireworks on the street. Again Jaymz loved them and wanted to keep doing them even after they were all gone, we may have a pyro sooner than later!
It was so fun to spend the entire weekend with family!
