4th of July!

For the fourth of July this year we had a crowded, but amazingly fun get together at our house! We were never so glad for our backyard as we were that day! This is my mom and dad with all their grandchildren, lined up according to age. We LOVE the three amigos on the end, who were all born within the same year and are just a heap of trouble and fun! We had a great day, with just a little sadness, Brian's back was out and was unable to join the fun. He spent the day in bed with his legs up. We were also missing Stephanie, who was in Indiana preparing their new house for their family to move into. We love you Steph!!
The boy end of the family....from left to right, Tyler, Zach, Jake, Tanner, and Preston. In the way of belonging...Tyler and Jake, of course our ours, Zach is Jim and Steph's, and Tanner and Preston are Corey and Sarah's.
The kids in Uncle Jim's new truck. It was actually pitch dark when I took this, so it's a little blurry, the camera did it's best with no tripod.
I just thought this was pretty!
Jake didn't like the noise, so Brad let him sit on his lap and was nice enough to cover his ears for him!
