Happy 4th!

Everyone waiting for the show to start (and for it to get dark)

This is Michael, he is my new boyfriend. He was so cute. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and then told me that he loved me. I know Jason was so jealous

Preparing some of our fireworks.

These are all very big fireworks this year

Such great food!

On Sunday, I got up early and did my standard workout and was able to squeeze in some time to lay by the pool. After an afternoon of movies and relaxing with the bestest guy, we got ready and headed over to Patrick's for his annual BBQ/Fireworks party. It's always so much fun to get everyone together and get to catch up. This is the only time of the year that everyone comes together. I know, usually, you'd think it would be Christmas or something, nope, it's Fourth of July!

Of course, Patrick had great food. The guests supplied the side dishes and fireworks. This year, instead of Jason being "Bubble Daddy", he play water guns with all the kids. He is definitely my "big kid". He even gets cranky if he doesn't get enough sleep, or is you don't feed him on time. That's why I love him!

The guys threw together a great fireworks show, as always. Patrick made an announcement that our "family" has grown too much. He ran out of room, and is passing this tradition on to Dylan. Every year, there are more and more kids, it's great to see how the family grows. I am so happy to be apart of this family. Thanks everyone for getting together every year!
