Happy 4th!

Happy 4th to Everyone.. Or 5th I should say!

Just bloggin' our Fourth Fun from our little Parkville town we love and adore which was just named one of the top ten "coolest smallest towns in America". We learned this at our town parade where the highlights we saw were the Falcon sky jumpers jump from the airplane and my favorite state representative Jason Grill. Ryan insists I only like him because he is handsome.. to which he is completely wrong. I always enjoy seeing him because he is extremely hot and an Andy Garcia look alike.... :), he lives in my town, goes to my church and wrote a handwritten note asking how "my baby was" 6 months after he was elected (He came to my door campaigning). Hee hee...  

We went to our little carnival enjoying our wonderul 80 humid free weather.. We've been having an absolutely rockin' summer with great weather. 

We had our 3rd annual street July 4th celebration.. Boy are we lucky living by the BBQ king who owns the Smokehouse as he caters our fiesta and we all just bring a dish to share.. YUMMMY!!! We brought the good ol' Wisconsin Snicker Salad which was a hit.. Thanks for the recipe girls! 

As we were walking down the hill approaching the fiesta, kids and the big bouncy, Mika jumped up and down and exclaimed "I so esited!!!!".  (excited). We followed up the excitement by heading over to our dam with neighbor friends to watch the fireworks display.. Mika's first year! She loved them!  Every  night after family prayers we say one thing we are thankful for that day..Mika loves crackerfires and Maya said that she is thankful Jadon and Shantel are coming in one week... : )
