Light it Up like its Dynamite!

We raided the after 4th sales and got some more fireworks for dirt cheap and shot them off recently. 

It was fun. The kids were scared at first then enjoyed it. 

Love my family so much and the fun memories we make together.

                                     

I LOVE this pic of Sophia- she look so mature and grown up to me! 

Independence Day {July 4th 2014}

 We enjoyed spending the evening with friends to celebrate 

with fireworks, s'mores, chair ball and good food:) 

I remember doing these with my brother back in the day- 

so fun to make those memories with my kiddos.

 Sparklers! 

 We headed out to Daniel's Park with Jon and Franki, and our neighbor and her two boys to catch some fireworks. It was pretty cool because you could see all the way from Parker to downtown Denver to the mountains- there were SOOOO many different firework displays- it was amazing! 

Of course, they weren't really "big-over-your-head" kind but it was a different way to watch them and the best part was their were NO crowds to contend with:) Mark loved that:) 

We sat on the roof of our SUV and relaxed for a good 2 hours! 

 The sign of a good day! 

Happy Independence Day!

We celebrated with friends last night and watched fireworks at Clement Park! 

It was a good show! 

 I just LOVE fireworks!

We had a wonderful HOT 4th of July- BBQing with friends and watching fireworks!

I was burnt from swimming that morning- it was near 100!

Special shout out to the Mondragons for a wonderful party!

We also got VIP treatment for fireworks at Megan's house too:)

SO thankful for the men and woman who have sacrificed and are sacrificing 

so I can enjoy SO many blessings as an American! 

Also SOOO very thankful for the freedom from the bondage of sin 

that God has given me through the sacrifice of His son, Christ!  

I am blessed, indeed!
