Our 4th

We got to spend our 4th of July with Gammy & Granddad and Uncle Derik and cousins Audrey & Travis. The kids all had such a good time. This was the first year that Autumn & Shelby had ever seen fireworks. Autumn loved them but Shelby was scared the whole time. She took turns sitting on everyone's laps and putting her head down- she didn't even want to look at them. She kept telling me she wanted to go bye-bye but she stuck it out and did really well never crying or anything. Travis was so sweet- at one point he told Autumn he had a spot on his chair for her to sit so she went and sat with him and he put his arm around her!

Trying to get a pic of all four of them on Granddad's lap...it took several takes to get four kiddos to look my way!

This one turned out really cute and everyone's looking at the camera and almost everyone is smiling!

Autumn was tired of pictures by this point- that's when the drink cup goes in her mouth. She knows I'll stop trying to get her picture if she doesn't take it out!

Audrey is such a fantastic little poser...she was already posing and we told all of the kids to pose like Audrey and this is what turned out!

Spending the day with family and watching fireworks. What a perfect 4th of July celebration.
All the kids look so adorable- so great to see them all together!
Love to hear how the girls reacted to the fireworks. We had worse reactions- I'll try to get a blog post up about it today so you can see what I mean.

WOW! How cool that the kids got a chance to play together. Cousins are the best! Jack's closest cousin (in age) is 14, so I am glad the kids are so close in age. Happy 4th!
