Holiday Festivities!

We had a really good holiday weekend. It was my birthday on the fourth. I love that my birthday is on Independence day. Family is always together, there are lots of fireworks and I get to share my b-day with the day of our countries freedom! When I was younger I always thought everyone was doing fireworks just for me, but then my parents had to set me straight:) We did fireworks with my fam on the 3rd and then we had a bbq and camp fire on the fourth with Gabes family. I'm mad cause I forgot my camera on the fourth, so no pics! It was a fun and busy weekend!


They put sparklers in my cake. Man that's a lot of candles. I'm getting old, 23!!


















Bentley wanted to help me open my gifts!


















Gabe and I gettin ready for the firework show


















Cam Cam and Jace. She is such a good aunt!





MY dad spent like $300 on fireworks and my pyro brother Bryce gave us a great show!
My cute mom watchin the show
We went fishing a couple weeks ago with Josh and Nicole, we got scunked but it was a fun day at the lake!
Jace slept the whole time in his stroller

My little baby is 6 weeks old and is getting chunkier and so cute. He has started to smile and is a lot more alert. We can't get enough of him!
Jace loves his baths. He just hangs out the whole time!
