Happy 4th

PHEW.

 this weekend.

what a doozy...

48 hours packed full of family, food, parading

fireworks, laughing, and did i mention eating?

well... we are certainly 

TINERD.

oh how i love this summer holiday.

i love dressing in red,white and blue...

even though i can't get a decent shot of them matching together..

*sigh*

my parents neighborhood parade brings it...

especially when THIS transpires.

i love how hot is always is..

and how smooshy this one never ceases to be.

fireworks

i. love. you.

that smell.. 

the smokiness that sort-of settles over the valley.

oh.. i love that.

there is really just nothing NOT to love.

last weekend.. 

i miss you.

hope your 4th found you as happy as it found our little family's.

BUT

let's be truthful here.

 i am officially exhausted.

i am not going to pretend that throwing a 

birthday bash doesn't exhaust me,

nor does staying up with a sick baby.

nope..

i will willingly admit that proofing the 

weekends photos has me worn out, 

as well as all this blogging.

i am looking forward to lazy days at the pool,

afternoon naps with the girls,

 late dinners with my NOW school free hub.

and a long weekend up to Bear Lake.

but i do feel quite pleased with myself...

i am all caught up

:)

HOOray!
