Washington/ 4th of July 2011

We got to spend the 4th of July in Washington. My wonderful husband built a room in Kara's new house. He's such a good man who is willing to help anyone out. That's one of the many qualities I love about him!

The weekend was filled with lots of cousin time, laughing, eating, and of course fireworks! The kids, especially Larry loved lighting the fireworks. He was the biggest kid of us all. So many beautiful colors filled the sky. We 'oohed' and 'awed' all night. I'm so proud to be living in this country and I'm thankful for the soldiers who fight for our freedom.

Dave took off on Tuesday, so the kids and I stayed out a few days longer. That meant more cousin time! I barely saw Gavin, we was too busy playing with Beckett. Those two were funny little boys. We took the kids to JJ Jumps and let the kids run all their energy out. But I don't think they got it all out. They were still go, go, go!

I was more than excited to get home. I missed Dave so much! It's been forever since we've been apart. It made me realize just how much he means to me. He's an amazing husband and a wonderful dad. Thanks babe for always being there for me. I love you!
