Happy 4th of July!

For this year's 4th of July we got to participate in a parade for my father-in-laws campaign. I thought that the kids would be very excited, except that Kailey seemed a little nervous while I was doing her hair. I tried to reassure her by telling her it was really no big deal, but maybe she was just unsure about her "elbow-elbow-wrist-wrist" technique. ;)


Gavin was busy as usual hanging on to his trucks. (who cares about waving at the people)




Yeah, I think these girls better get use to the idea of being on top of floats...beauty queen
material I'd say ;)

Jake remembered seeing light sabers for sale at last year's celebration. He was so happy that he got to blow, I mean spend some of his money on ANOTHER light saber.
Some guy was letting people hold his pet boa constrictor at the fire work show. Jake was in heaven!

Looks like you guys had some fun on that float. Love all the matching outfits. And I totally miss Ashlynn's smile!! She just makes you happy. And holy cow with the huge snake. I'm impressed that Kailey likes to get that close to it! Not suprised that Jake loved it. "Was it the poison dart frog?" That kid really knows his stuff! I'm glad you're feeling better and sorry you got so sick. Thanks again for making the long trip up to see us. We miss you all!

WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! I miss you all so much. What a "joy" for Jakers and the snake. Beauty Queen material for CERTAIN! I have a very short time to view to the blogs so I'm hurrying thru them but I'm loving them!
