Happy Birthday America!

We had a great 4th of July!  It started Friday morning, with the annual 4th of July parade.  Around noon, Larry and I headed to our friend's (Marcus and Melanie's) ranch in Normangee, TX.  A few of the cast members of Duck Dynasty were there and we got to meet Korie Robinson (Willie's wife) and their kids.  I wanted to take a picture with them, but didn't want to be that crazy, annoying, star struck girl.  It was kind of surreal.  We were hanging out on the deck or in the kitchen and they were walking around, like it was no big deal.  Definitely, the highlight of our weekend! 

While we were at the ranch, the kids stayed at home with Mimi and played in the big blow-up pool, ate lots of ice cream and popicles and went shopping.  That evening we had the Lucia's and Boland's over for fajitas and fireworks.  This was the second year we spent the 4th with them so its become an annual holiday for us.  Jack loves playing with Fiona and is always so sweet to her.  He's told us a few times that he's going to marry her and both families are very happy about that!  Fiona has a new baby brother, Bennett (aka Bennie), and Taylor loves him!  She got to hold him and give him lots of kisses....she was in heaven!

The guys put on a great fireworks show....they went all out this year! Jack was right in the middle helping out, while Taylor and Fiona watched from the window (they did not like the loud noise).  4th of July has become one of my favorite holidays to celebrate!  Family, friends, good food and drinks, fireworks, summer weather...doesn't get any better then that!
