July 4th

Jul 17, 2011 · by Jessica Hewitt

For those of you that don’t know my husband, he is a pyromanic.  That’s not actually always true – only on July 4th does he struggle with this illness.  🙂  My parents live in an area that is actually unincorporated, so we are able to shoot off fireworks there.  Just to clarify, when I say “fireworks”, I am not talking Black Cats and sparklers.  I’m talking a full fireworks show. 

Here are some pics from our day.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pics of the actual fireworks.  Mainly for 2 reasons.  One – I’m an awful photographer and don’t actually know how to turn off the flash on my camera.  And two – I was too busy chasing Cooper around because I was terrified he was going to get really hurt.  His shorts did get burned, but thankfully he was fine.  He just kept saying “Da fireworks got me!” 
 

One of 2 slides my mom had.  She KNOWS how to throw a party.

Icecream!



This is just the appetizer table.  Did I mention my mom can throw a party? 🙂



My girls with my sweet sister Ashlee.  Yes!  She’s home from Thailand!



Jeff doing some small fireworks with the kids because he can NEVER wait until dark to start.  Love that man!
Sweet friends with one of their sons, Jett.



Only pic I got of the babies.  They go to bed at 6 pm.



Looks like kids at the candy store, huh?  Just Jeff’s trailer of fireworks.
He makes me SO happy.  Even when he’s grumpy.
