Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth! This year was awesome because I got to spend all day with Jake! He usually participates in a big volleyball tournament with his family (which is really fun to watch, just makes for a hot and long day) but this year his back is hurt* so he decided to err on the side of caution and not play this year. I won't lie, I was glad because being 7 months pregnant in July SUCKS! We finished painting the baby's closet white and then we stopped by the volleyball tournament to say hi and watch for a little bit. After that we were hot and miserable so we went and gave Lia a bath. SO glad that she loves being cleaned! It's so funny. The other horses FREAK out but Lia loves it. The Cromwell's always do a BBQ after the volleyball tournament. We went to that (yum) and then stayed up at the Cromwell's house to watch the fireworks. I LOVE fireworks and we usually watch them closer to the green belt but this year I didn't want to have to pee or get nauseous or deal with crowds or traffic. So we watched them on a jean blanket with the radio playing and had a great time! I love the Melaleuca fireworks show every year!

The only thing that we took pictures of was Lia after her bath and the baby, Duke, with the little saddle on him! So lame. But here they are-

So grateful to live in this country and so grateful to those who sacrifice so much to keep us free. God bless the USA.
