happy fourth

This fourth of July, I was busy in the kitchen cooking and baking and preparing to celebrate Wayne's birthday, my mother turning 60 and of course celebrating our wonderful freedom in our amazing and beautiful country.

I woke up at 5:30 to start pulled pork tacos, shredded chicken tacos and of course chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes and brownies. Sadly, my camera took a back seat to all of the festivities... someones got to cook around here!

However, after our huge lunch and birthday celebrations, Fisher and I decided to go for a walk while the others were inside trying to nap. It was just me and him and he just loved watch all of the flags.

It was a sweet moment. I just love watching him.

After naps, we took the boys to go see Cars 2 in the movie theater. My brother and his fiance tagged along and even bought them popcorn... which was a huge hit! After the movie, my parents and all of us walked down to the nearby park to watch the fireworks. The boys just loved it and fireworks are one of Fisher's new and favorite things.

It was such a wonderful fourth of July and I am so blessed and so happy that I got to share one of my favorite holidays with my family!
