Slap me some INDEPENDENCE DAY!!


Beautiful Reachel
There was no way we could get the kids to pose for the camera
the fireworks were just too exciting for them, even the baby loved them!
Andrew , using his fancy camera to make the fireworks look awesome.
Hold the sparkler AWAY from your body Ezra!


We had a wonderful Fourth of July. 
We packed up the kids and headed off to Lake Oswego. Drove around to find the best spot for fireworks, we did fireworks on our own private beach near the lake at george rogers park. 
it was AWESOME. totally private. i dont think you could have gotten a better spot if you owned your own house on the lake!!

Your 4th looks like it came from the movies it is so picture perfect. I am glad that Pearl enjoyed the fire works. Addie did great last year but this year she was a bit more sensitive. Are you coming to Utah this summer?

That looks amazing. What a fun holiday. I'm so glad you had so much fun with A and R. By the way, it is so fun to see little Lucille sitting up all on her own! She's growing up so much - I wish I could be around her more. I'm missing it all! :(

Hey Jill, I never comment, but I decided it might be nice for you to know that I do care about you, and I do check your blog. Your kids are growing up so fast!! I can't believe it. I do need to go out and visit. Maybe with our stimulus check money....we'll have to see...Anyway, I would love to see more pictures of Lucille. She is turning into such a beauty isn't she!!

I can not get over how Gorgeous it is where you live!!!! The rose gardens are breathtaking. I bet it was a blast with Andre and Reachel there. Can you believe how fast Pearl is changing, she is to die for, really! Jill you are a true beauty yourself. I am glad you had a wonderful time with family. Maybe someday we will be out there visiting.....

Jill, I know you've been out of town, but your lack of current posts is sort of pathetic, haha just kidding. You are just like me. Really though, I would love to see some updated pictures soon.

Jill! Your fourth looks awesome!
I was lamenting on the drive home from AZ that I wished we'd had more time to spend with you and the little ones. Your family is so cute Jill :) Wish we could come visit you in OR.
