Here are the patriotic Earls!!!! And of course here is Kenzy putting on brothers shoes, she sees shoes that are not being claimed and she HAS to try them on!!! Silly girl!!
So, this year we ended up having a block party with our neighbors!!!!! It was a ton of fun! I had some crafts set up for the kids to do: decorating star cookies, red, white, and blue noodle necklaces, and little fireworks made out of lifesavers!! The kids really enjoyed the crafts when they were taking a break from the waterslide!!!
Here is Jax putting together his lifesaver firework! And a group of kids doing all of the crafts!
Here are Jax and Nik going down the slide, and our neighbors brought over a small slide for the little kids, it was a huge hit!!
Makenzy finally woke up from her nap to enjoy some yummy bbq food! The first thing she went for were the deviled eggs! She enjoyed 3 of them while sitting on Kimmimie's lap!!!!
And here is Kenzy with her little friend Brianna! They were being so silly together, they are great friends!!!
The last picture is Nik and Cooper enjoying Nana's traditional homemade ice cream with wafers!
YUUUUUMMMMMMMMYYY!!!!!!!
Here is Makenzy getting a huge hug from her cousin Cooper-yep, she decided to go into the pool with her clothes on again....she would prefer to not wait for me to get her swimsuit on, I guess! You give Kenzy a water gun and watch out!!!! You can here her huge giggle a mile away! She gets so tickled to see the reaction from those she shoots!!! She kept saying, "I shoot brotho"!!! She loves to see Nik and Jax run from her!!! That's daddy's girl!!
After an awesome afternoon with our neighbors, friends and family, we decided that this year we would go to the Los Alamitos Base for their carnival and fireworks show.
Makenzy has her star headband on, so we were now ready to go to the fireworks show!!!
Nik, Cooper, Jax, Kaleb, and Tayah all walking hand in hand to the Base!! Kenzy loves to fly!! The second Eric puts her in the air, she puts her arms back and says "I flying"!! Daddy can't wait to take her flying for real!!! Not too much longer until he gets his pilots license!!!!

Makenzy wasn't too sure about all of the noise, but she did enjoy her glow ball, while sitting all wrapped up in Nana's arms! The kids enjoyed all of their glow sticks before the firework show!
The fireworks were amazing! We all had a great time!
It was so busy all day that I totally forgot to get pictures of all of our family and friends that came over to celebrate our country's freedom with us. Much love to the St. Claire's, the Woods, Nana and Papa, Kim and Mike, Nanny and Papa, the Biehn's, and the Petersons! We love each of you even though we didn't get pictures of your families!
