seeing familiar faces at the parade
reese not napping
trying to drive reese to sleep knowing there would be a late night ahead. worked for maybe 30 minutes
4th of july bbq and grandpa's pool with h cousins
watching reese in the pool: swimming all by herself in the deep {with floaties}, jumping of the side, going down the slide, and even jumping off the diving board. proud mother moment.
n family bbq with divine homemade bbq sauce and stewart's soda
soccer and baseball with the cousins

the parade
i swear my child is happy and smiley and goofy 90% of the time. until i pull out the camera. and then she gives me attitude like this. oh. boy.
now let me show you a photographic tale of two cousins wavin' flag.
loving the flags.
could life possibly be any better?
why yes. yes it could. please appreciate the sheer awesomeness of liza's sincere and heartfelt cry face. have you seriously ever seen a better face? the tragedy, the bitterness, the utter agony. and reese is clueless.
and then she notices. so concerned about her cousin's well being.
kisses make all things better.
the comforting arm. doesn't liza look so genuinely consoled?
ahh. how we love having cousins.
our family
the one picture we took during kaysville fireworks. reese really wasn't sure what to think at first, but thankfully, she warmed up real quick.
hope you all had just as great of a time as we did. so grateful to live with the many freedoms that we are privileged to enjoy. God bless America indeed.

The series of pictures between Reese and her cousin made me laugh out loud. Pretty sure my hubs is going to come check on me in a minute to see what all the commotion was about ;)
Ok, that picture Stryker of r and e is killing me. Cannot stop laughing. Glad you had a happy 4th!
Please replace story with Stryker in the comment above :)
Oh Jen that is SO GREAT! Love those pictures - the expressions were so incredible and good job on the story line!!
Ohhhhh....please come to Indiana!!!
Cute pictures! Those two sweet cousins look so much alike! They could be twins! So sweet!
Did I ever mention that Eliza did show up with a huge scab over her eye the next day? Silly gal probably got wavin' so hard that she knocked herself in the face. I felt a little bad for not realizing that she did actually get hurt in that moment. Poor thing. We are at a one-bruise-after-another stage.
