4th of July

We had a great 4th of July 2012!

We spent it with Grandma and Grandpa Moore and Caleb & Krista and family in Inkom Stinkom.....my dad taught me that when I was young and would go with him to Soda Springs to haul cows to our ranch, now my kids do the same thing. We enjoyed the Inkom parade and community festivities, played in the water, ate yummy food, had our own firework show with at Uncle Caleb's house, and then enjoyed the best show in Idaho that takes place at the fairgrounds. What I remember most about this day is how tired I was when it was all over!! Great memories! I love the USA!!!

Stockton, Abby, Brayden ... missing Parker

waiting for parade

Parker and Stockton - best buddies!

These 2 say they are boyfriend and girlfriend....kissing cousins I say!! Definitely will tease them about it when they are older!

If you wave you get more candy, that is what we told him!

Tired best buddies holding hands and waiting in line.....so cute!

Abby getting her face painted - FIREWORKS!

Loved watching her hold this still!

Stockton's turn! Basketball on one cheek and football on the other cheek... of course! 

Abby is quite the negotiater... she gets it from both of us...and she loves talking to people........gets that more from her dad! Grandma gave each kid $2  and believe me Abby was going to get every penny out of that $2! So she sets off on her own trying to figure out what to do....she sees this fingernail booth and realized she didn't want to blow all her money there so she talked to the lady and before long she got 1 nail done for free! She still has her $2! It is hot so she decides to use a buck to buy a water,  with $1 left out she went to find something to buy.... story continues below....

free fingernail and water in hand.....$1 left

Story continues..... she is walking around and finds a food vendor and asks how much the hamburgers are and they could see she only has $1......they didn't cost a $1 but the nice people let her have it anyway! So a hamburger, fingernail, and water all for $2. Not bad.....! By the way, she wasn't even hungry and didn't even eat the hamburger....more of the thrill of the chase for her!

my cool red, white, and blue drink I mixed together
