Independence Day!

July 3rd: We started off 4th of July celebration with our traditional BBQ at the Talley's! For the past 11 years Ron and I have spent 4th of July with Jeff Talley (I think we only missed 1 or 2 years in there somewhere along the way).

 Jeff and Lindsey!

 While trying to take this group picture Lindsey reviewed the picture and says "Oh. Someone need to stand in front of me for the next picture" Mason looks at Lindsey and responds "Is it because you think your legs look fat? My mom says that too." Funny kid!

Of course we spent Independence Day morning at our annual breakfast at the the church and our neighborhood parade! Super fun. After being so miserable last year I decided to ride the quad this year. I know I know, I'm lazy!

 I didn't even see Mason the entire parade,because he was riding at the front and I was riding in the rear.

 Snow cones and yummy watermelon after!

Later in the day we joined the Smithsons for a delicious BBQ and swimming! Noah CAN swim but he isn't a confident swimmer. He won't ever go off the diving board and doesn't really like to swim across the pool with out help. I was determined to get him on that diving board. After many declined offers he finally agreed to for $1. Soooo worth the money!! He wouldn't stop going off the diving board the rest of the evening. Loved it!

 All in all we had an exhausting but memorable 4th!
