Fourth of July

We had a BBQ at our house to celebrate the 4th of July! The weather ended up being perfect! My family, Mom, Dad, Charity, Jeff, Jack and Amelia came over as well as some good friends:  Ali and Ashley Carter, Kristen Molten and her family (Braden, Drew, Reed and Blake), Deanna, Kevin and Tyler Carlisle.  We had great food, a little swimming in our "pool" and some little pop-it fireworks to end the night:

Luke loved the pool.  The water was freezing.  We didn't have a chance to warm it up first... So it was ice cold.  And Luke stayed in there the whole time.  Even when everyone was just jumping in and then jumping out.  He stayed in there. I had to convince him to get out when I noticed he was shivering.

Still in the pool, by himself... Everyone HAD been in there, but felt it was too cold and bailed... Not Luke:

The boys (Jack and Drew, KP's son) came back in to join him:

Now Tyler has joined in on the fun:

Pretty Amelia.... Crazy enough she was the ONLY little girl at the party... The rest were BOYS!

AliCa and me enjoying the sunshine:

It wouldn't be a holiday if the boys weren't fighting about gadgets :(   Good grief, is that already starting?!?

No surprise... My family enjoying the food :)
