4th of July

For the 4th of July, we celebrated with my inlaws and my inlaws inlaws(Matt's brothers inlaws). It was a party filled with good food, great company(16 adults and our boys), and an exciting Rockies game. The Rockies won at the bottom 15th inning.

Jonas helped me make a US flag cookie cake to bring to the party. Matt made sure we had 50 blueberries for 50 states(even though the stars represent the 50 states) and 7 red stripes of strawberries and 6 stripes of cream cheese frosting. By the time we were done, Jonas received his first lesson from Matt about the "true" cause of American revolution.

Attempting to take a photo of the boys. Silas was in a nice red, white, and blue outfit...but he blew out in the first 10 minutes we were there at the party. Sometimes things don't always go the way you think they should. LOL!

Since Jonas and Silas are the only grandkids on both sides of the inlaws, they are very spoiled. Here is a cute wooden rocker that Aunt Susan and Uncle Bob found at a garage sale.

Uncle Andy and Jonas wrestling. Buds forever!

Aunt Susan loves babies. Silas just melts whenever she is holding him.

We drove home before dusk through a thunderstorm. So we were able to watch God's fireworks(lightning) and everyone else's show in the area. Jonas would yell out "pretty fireworks" any time he saw lightning or fireworks. He was amazed! Priceless!
