4th of July


Every year we go up to Huntsville to celebrate the 4th of July. This year Jason went golfing in the morning, so he met us up at my Aunts later on. Our good friends the Wards met up with us and sat with us at the parade. We went to the parade, hung out at my Aunts for a while, then went over to the park for the cotton candy and shaved ice. Tanner played one game and won a 2ltr of pop and got to ride on Tyler's motorcycle, so he was happy. The kids swam, Tanner took the kayak with Connor & Payton across the street for a ride in Pineview, and they had a water balloon fight too. We had our traditional Shurtleff Family BBQ bring your own meat, drinks and a pot luck to share. Grandma Miner just moved in with my parents and it was good to have her at the BBQ and she said she loved watching the kids go down the hill on the slip-n-slide and just be out with everyone. I was so happy to visit and see her with everyone, when she got tired she laid on the couch and they didn't stay for the fireworks as Mom had to work the next day. I had desert this year and made some cute flag sugar cookies. Crew liked them so much he said "Betsy these are the best cookies, my Mom needs to get the recipe!" That sure made me feel good and I thought that was cute. We stayed late for the fireworks and then headed for home, we didn't get home until pretty late but the kids and I got to sleep in they didn't wake up until after 10.

I like to do a family picture when we can. The kids had already gotten into their warm clothes and Brylee loves her warm baby pj's and it was getting dark and I didn't have my big flash, so when I tried to lighten the pictures this is the best I got, but still thought it turned out pretty cute.
