Independence Day

Another Fourth of July come and gone and we had such a good time! In the morning we went to the parade (which Maddie and I were in, marching for Joe Hardy) and then we had a barbecue and swim party at Grandma D's.


A very patriotic cake dessert.


Syd wondering why I'm photographing her.


Aubrey looking at the blanket with disgust...and a messy face.


Is it just me or are none of the kids smiling for me today?


Flowers.


Sydney and the flowers.


Finally, someone who will smile for the camera. Even if it is a pretty fake smile.


This picture is a little blurry but I love it! Maddie is so good with the little kids.


Syd the Giant.


Well, those smiles were short-lived and Tyler proceeded to give me a series of "funny face" photos.
