Well...I didn't make it a year, but half way is better than nothing!

Now that summer is upon us, and with our new crazy schedule, I've let the ball drop on this "picture a day" thing. I'm going to just post when I can about whatever moves me, and if I have a photo, great, if not, no biggie!

We celebrated Independence Day this year in our traditional way of going to my parents for a cookout and watching the fireworks from their backyard! Last year we missed out, due to 3/4 kiddos having a bad stomach bug, it was the first time I haven't been at my parents for the 4th! So back to tradition. Every year my parents hem and haw about having people over, and then a week or two before they invite the whole extended family and some friends, who always come! I think there was one year where they were away over the 4th, but we still had a little picnic at their house, even though they weren't there!! (This was before kids!)

This was the triplet's first year awake for the fireworks! We thought for sure we'd have 1 or 2 that would be a little nervous about all the fireworks in the neighborhood, but NOPE, they ALL loved it and were in awe of the bright lights and loud pops! They all stayed up until the show was over, and then Lyla curled up on the floor under a blanket and fell asleep!

What stinks is, I didn't get one single picture. I was too busy chasing kids, socializing and attending to the needs of the kids that I didn't even take my camera out of my bag. We made good memories, and I'm hoping some one snapped a picture for me!!
