I've traveled across the globe and I love to visit foreign countries. That being said, there is no place like home. I love the United States of America. I am concerned about many things that are happening these days, but it doesn't change my belief in and love for this country. I hope to pass this down to my children.
We like to do holiday crafts to get us in the mood to celebrate.
We make holiday goodies.
The weather today was absolutely crazy. It went from nice and sunny to pouring rain, to sunny, to rainy again. It was like that all day.
Our awesome neighbors invited us to spend the holiday with them at their mom's house. It is a beautiful home and the landscaping is amazing. The pool was a beautiful infinity pool that looked out over a lake. Jalen was scared of the water at first, but before long he was having a great time.
Baylie is a little fish this summer. She is excited that she can swim all by herself.
It rained on us in the water. Since there wasn't any lightening, we just kept on swimming.
Edge of infinity.
Yummy food! I wish I had taken a picture of the ribs we ate.
And this is the amazing ice box cake dessert. Our neighbor Claire is an amazing cook!
To end it all, we lit off sparklers. The kids are still afraid of all other kinds of fireworks. In fact, Baylie prayed tonight, "Please bless that the fireworks won't sound like cannons."
God bless the U.S.A.

I've been thinking about you all week because during delivery the baby somehow messed up my tailbone. It is killing me and I'm going to try out your home made ice pack. Hope yours is feeling better!
what a great backyard. Someday maybe we will live close enough to have holiday get togethers.
