4th of July 2008

It was another great 4th of July celebration. We went on one night with Vikki, Rody & Kenzie and then went with everyone the next night. We always go early and just enjoy relaxing, visiting and watching the kids. The fireworks were great both nights. Bill always knows how to get out of town fast afterwards and beat the crowds. I see Jared was pretty fast this year. They were home by the time we got through the crowds. They did leave earliler than we did, but they had a long drive. I was happy to hear they were home and also happy when I heard everyone else in the family was through the traffic.
I always love seeing the kids watch the fireworks. Hailey didn't even cover her ears this year. I got to hold Adam and loved watching his eyes follow the fireworks. About half way through, he fell asleep. It was so nice having our sweet friend, Melissa there with us along with her two precious children. Hailey loved playing with Eve, and all the kids played and got along so well. Very fun time!!!



What is papa teaching Kenzie...see next picture..She learns fast.






Jared sure looks cute as can be in this picture.

Dad looks pretty handsome with hair. He used a little too much moose though.





This is how Rody looks with hair. Dad was kind enough to share with him.

Wow! It feels so great to see the Schaard family again! It's been 7 yrs since I've celebrated the 4th of July in the US. When will I get to SEE you all face-to-face again? Hopefully, after Daniel's wedding in AZ we'll be able to visit MI= Nov 08. Love you guys SOOO MUCH!
