4oJ

I sure love this holiday. We kicked off our morning with a Huntington Beach Production to get our hearts pumpin'. It really is a great way to feel the spirit of America. It's almost too much to handle when they honor the military. Pregnant or not, I can't hold back the tears.
The afternoon was spent at the Howard's annual picnic. They are always so kind to invite us to their family party.
I can't believe how much these 2 have grown in a year.

We ended the night at a prime spot for fireworks. Thanks to these fun friends, we were able to avoid the crowds and see a great show.
Just a great day with my family!

Yeah i seriously can't remember because i always think Matt and I are direct cousins when in reality he and my mom are. So Colin and I are the next phase and then Rylan would be a whole other thing altogether so i don't want to confuse myself by trying to figue it out.
