Happy 4th of July

Well this is it. Our last Warrenton Parade.
Friends and family came to enjoy the front row one last time.

We always start with a BBQ, but this year we decided to start with a fire in the BBQ. Needless to say lost a whole package of dogs from Costco. Do you think they will let us return them?

It wouldn't be the same without Coast Guard flying over.


Mikalah and Renee
All the kids anxiously waiting for candy.

Matthew and Steven wanted to make sure they were out of reach of the clowns. Maybe I should have joined them up there.




You never know how much taller the younger sibling is until Mom takes a picture. Wow what a difference in height. Gabby 8 and Jessica 7

Renee with her candy hat...Then into the house to put all the candy in a family bowl. Then little by little mom puts it in the trash. shhhh



Ok last but not least......Elder Geilman.



Sean, Angel and Baby Sean came to get another car load. Then they helped load up the van. So the third floor is empty. We figure we will go room by room and de-clutter and move stuff.


Then went to see fireworks, got there as they started. Good thing we have a secret place to watch them. hahaha

Came home and Mikalah and Renee had gotten sparklers from church (what teacher hands out fireworks to kids?) Renee was sad when we said they all had to be lit. She thought she could keep one to remember the church lesson. I can just see it now a sparkler under her pillow.

All in all we had a great day.

I'm grateful for all the service men and women that have and still serve us. I'm thankful they are willing to fight for our freedom.
