4th of July 2009

Here are the cute cousins enjoying the front row seat to the parade, just before it got going.

Olivia LOVES to give loves.


Dad and the Larsens enjoying the simple joys of the 4th.

Wes and Brooke, the hero to every child on the block.

Nathan enjoying the goods.

Olivia had two or three.

Some very authentic looking Indians

Nathan was an enthusiastic waver to the parade people.

Favorite parts of 4th of July week:

1. BBQ with Sarah, Bela, Annie, Dave and company in the most amazing electrical storm and rain downpour ever. Bela buying a balloon for Nathan. So CUTE!

2. Shane's 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. killing spree with Wyatt and Kelton.

3. N.Q. liking to be sprayed by the firetrucks at the parade.

4. Dutch oven BBQ down by the Tee Pees at Grandparents Barney's House

5. Swimming in Grandma's Awesome inflatable pool.

6. REALLY amazing fireworks and program at the Bill's House. WONDERFUL SHOW.

7. Watching the town blast into the 4th with an amazing array of colors and sparkles, the black out helped bring out the intensity of the blast show going on everywhere.

8. Having Wyatt, Lisa, Brynnlee, and Kelton come shoot off a few fireworks with us.

9. Brynnlee's Squeaky shoes and piggy tails

10. Olivia's Laugh when I tickled her. And her all consuming smile.

11. Time well spent with family

12. Four hour nap on Sunday because I woke up long enough to be tired to go back to sleep again.

13. Feeling a little less sick most of the time. (But not all...)

14. The cool weather was fantastic and I loved it! Even the rain was welcomed by me.
