Freedom is a gift.......

It is easy to get distracted and forget what July 4th really means. I to look forward to all the traditions. Cooking out, enjoying the sun, fireworks, and relaxing with friends and family...These things would be impossible if it weren't for all the men and women serving our Country. Freedom is a GIFT and should constantly be viewed as a privilege and right in America. Men and women continue to stand up for America's voice and we should be eternally grateful! Thank you to all men, women, and families that have devoted their lives to keeping our freedom! God Bless!!!




















Festive with red, white and blue or as Parker says
rojo,blanco, and azul (thanks to Mrs. Connel)







Let the swimming begin...











Daddy & Uncle Jesse making a wave pool. The waves knocked Parker over.








Gigi brought Parker & Paxson new water squirters. Gigi and Paxson were on a team and Parker and Jesse were on a team. Who do you think won???






























Uncle Jesse showing how strong he is. hehehe







This is after I "saved" Parker from the wave pool.
















Paxson pouring water on Meme's head. I think he could have done it for hours.



























Fireworks with Meme, Dandy, Uncle Brady, Gigi & Uncle Jesse













...Until it started raining. Then daddy, Parker, and Uncle Jesse played in the rain. After the rain stopped they drove around and watched fireworks......till midnight!






























Thank you for this Freedom! I can't imagine the fear and excitement that must take hold once one receives orders for deployment.
Deuteronomy 31:6Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
