Happy Birthday America!

Well, very late I wanted to make sure and document our possible last 4th of July in Kansas.

We LOVE the 4th here! This year the kids got to decorate their bikes and ride in a cute neighborhood parade along with some of their friends. Brent got to show off his mad bass drum skills! No, it wasnt his idea, and he did it a bit reluctantly, but doesnt he look good doing it? A proffesor of his asked him to fill in when we got there, and I think he actually had a good time doing it.


After the parade, the kids were able to do some foot races, and Blake took 2nd. He did awesome. They also had turtle races, and ice cream sandwhiches for everyone.


That night we went out to some friends house for some major fire work displays. The best part of living in Kansas is that fireworks are completely legal! It feels like World War III for about a week, and on the 4th there is some major smog over the city, but its well worth it. The kids really enjoy it.

I love your new haircut Michelle! You're such a cute mom! :) It looks like you guys had a great 4th! We definitely missed being in KS that day.
