Our 4th of July~ {neighborhood style}

This was our 4th of July.

A lovely night spent with neighbors.

Good people. Hot dogs. Side dishes. Sangria. Beer. Lawn Chairs. Sparklers... 

adorable happy children running around.

(maybe some illegal super fun fireworks?) wink wink)

It was another great 4th spent w/ my sweethearts. My boys.

Here's just a few snaps.

Even though it was really difficult, I tried to just take a few shots... & then put my camera away.

It kinda sucked, but I've really been working on being more in the moment.

Which has been wonderful.

Plus, it's usually a team effort to chase around our extremely crazy happy toddler.

AKA Happy Jax.

Mad that mommy won't let let him eat chips off the ground.

I'm such a big meanie!

It's sure a good time throughing poppers at mommy, 

while she's trying to snap pictures.

(Thanks daddio)

Nothing beats that look of pure awe & wonder on your child's face.

Oh. How I love those sweet cheeks!

Haahaha, I can just hear him thinking ... "Mommy is really letting me play w/ fire?!!!!"

"COOL."

Wow. we sure are lucky to call this home.
God Bless!
