Happy Fourth of July!

I took the boys over to the July 4th Parade in Stephenville Saturday morning. Cade was really too little last year to care much for the parade, but this year he LOVED it! He loved all the firetrucks and floats... and all the CANDY! He sat with Ryan for a long time before he figured out he could go gather up candy that was thrown his way.

Cade was totally locked in on something and was not going to smile for a picture. At least Ryan was a willing participant.

Memaw, Ryan and Cade waving at the fire trucks.

My twin nieces watching the parade with two of their friends. Carey on the left, Carley on the right.

Cade thought he was just as big as the "big kids".

Nom, nom... suckers are goooooood!

Much to my surprise, Cade did sit for a while in his little lawn chair.

Phew! It's hot out here!

After the parade it was just a lazy day for us. Mickey and TJ donated their money entered a roping in Stephenville and we popped in to say hi that afternoon for about 30 minutes. Instead of hanging out in the sweltering heat, Cade and I opted to go swimming and have dinner with Mo-Mo and Pops. No fireworks for us, though, Cade was pooped out and asleep by 8:30! Maybe next year.

Next year, y'all can come out to the country and watch our fireworks... When Mack dances to shake the sparks off his clothes, it's the best show in the world!
Love these shots... love you... and REALLY love the new background! This is definitely a keeper!
