family, fun, and the fourth.

happy fourth of july!  i love this holiday and am thankful to all those who serve in the military and dedicate their lives so that i can enjoy mine.  we truly owe them everything.  i am also very proud of my own military man (although he has not done any defending of our country yet!).  today was a different kind of 4th for us.  in the past we have been out on the lake with friends and family in east texas and this is the first year in many years that we are not there.  so we are a little bummed.  but we still had fun with some family who detoured off of i-35 to have a little cookout.  my cousin and her family came over for lunch and we cooked out and let all the children run off some energy!
my cousin's kids, lilli and andrew, with cole


and what would a fourth of july be without watching some baseball.  cole was thrilled (and enamored) that he was able to watch some while i was trying to take his picture in his firecracker outfit (thanks walker!)





finally a picture with the mama

here is to freedom, family, fellowship and the GREAT GOD who gives it all to us.  happy fourth of july!
