We started off the day meeting some friends at the Edmond Liberty Fest Parade. We arrived about an hour early and thankfully Rachael's Mom was already saving a spot because the place was filling up quickly!
Caden and Isaac playing BleyBlades waiting for the parade to start.
Love this cute boy! We had a great time at the parade. I love making new memories for my kiddos. I want their childhood to be full of all of these great positive memories to mix in with the all stuff that is just life!
Carolina with some friends. They enjoyed their front row seat!
Abby holding baby Jack! He was just waving that flag around it was so cute!! Every time I went to take a picture someone walked in front of us or he quit waving it around. Still a cute shot I think!
Carolina and her Daddy! Such love between these two!
Another of my precious boy Caden!
My 3 lovies! They don't always want to take pictures for me but I am so thankful they don't put up too much of a fight!
In the evening we went to Amanda's house for a fun cookout and fireworks! I had such a great time! Fireworks in close range will always freak me out and cause a little anxiety but I tried my best to chill and enjoy being with some of those who love me most!
It sure was a blessing to spend the holiday with those who came!
Amanda and Aaron had invited Anthony's parents, his Aunt Patsy and cousin Melissa and her family. Along with our Brother Lawrence and sister Stephanie and their families and Shelly.
David and Hannah and their cutie Avery and Mike, Nancy and Bryce and My mom and Dad also came.
It was a great evening I hope I am not forgetting anyone.
Stephanie, Will and Caleb
Some of the kiddos enjoying a tug of war game before fireworks started.
Getting ready to start
I am so glad we have some members of our family who want the kiddos to have a good time and be safe. I would never be comfortable lighting a smoke bomb and letting my child through it or lighting roman candles in my child's hand and letting them shoot them off. I wouldn't want to do that or even let them but I am glad that they get to!
Little Khloe enjoying some poppers!
Taylor and Liz. Lizzie wasn't too sure about all the noise to start with but she ended up enjoying herself very much!!
Uncle WA helping Carolina light some kind of firework and then teaching her to RUN!!
How cute is she?
Khloe loves her cousin Caylea!!!. . .and Caylea didn't mind carrying her around at all!
Sweet precious girls! I love this shot! and these girls!!!
Nancy brought the girls some head bands too cute! and all the kiddos a light up necklace how fun!!!!
They only started a couple of fires. . .yeah really thankfully they had plenty of water on hand and a fire extinguisher!!
I took some pictures of fireworks and they are okay. However I am excited about next year because I am going to take my tripod and lower my shutter speed and hopefully get some better pictures!
