Our cute garden on the 4th of July. Our corn was definitely taller than knee high...always a good sign. We have enjoyed our lettuce and cucumbers, though still waiting on tomotoes and corn to fully ripen.
Lame fireworks...oh well, we enjoyed some fun ones in Idaho.
A small parade around the yard.
The kids also learned a new trick...if they took the wagon to the top of the hill, it made for a fun and fast, bumpy ride down.
Tommy is a family friend who is so good with kids. My kids love when he comes over!

When we got home from our trip out west, David gave me the okay to host a 4th of July Breakfast. When the Blackham's used to live here, they had hosted a few and they were so fun, relaxing and then you still got to enjoy the rest of your day. Anyhow, the past few years our yard has not been up to par. As I have mentioned before, we have cut down 10 trees in the yard and cut back shrubs/roots that consumed a 1/4 of the yard. There is still a lot to do, but it looks better and better all the time. We bought our house from the original owners who had lived here for 50 years and they were older and unable to care for the yard as much and for any of you not familiar with the midwest...instead of watering and trying to get things to grow, it is constant battle to try to stop things from growing! We knew we had our work cut out for us, but we've learned a lot.
