Fourth of July Weekend

We started our three day weekend off by having some friends over Friday night. We had lots of fun and we even let the kids do some smoke bombs, firecrackers and sparklers. Michael grilled ranch burgers and we also had stuffed mushrooms, panera bread with dipping sauce, sour cream and chive cheesy potatoes, watermelon, cupcakes and homemade ice cream. Dylan even helped me a little with the ice cream.




Saturday morning Michael and Dylan drove to Missouri to buy fireworks. Around 8am I get a phone call and it was Michael saying "This is your husband, I had to borrow a cell phone and you need to go record channel 9 right now because we are going to be interviewed and it is going to be live." Well, I ran downstairs and I got it recorded 5 seconds before they were on. They were so cute and when the guy asked Dylan what he was excited about most he told him "blowing up marshmallows". Guess who had to go to the store and buy marshmallows!!!! It looks like we had our own fireworks stand.

Cass decided to join in on the fun and she lit a snake escape. She is not into fireworks like Dylan is.

Since we ate so much the night before we only made stuffed jalapenos for dinner and we were all happy with that.

Today we spent the morning watching some tennis and then Michael and Dylan trimmed some trees.

I better go feed my family now. We are having pork cutlets and mashed potatoes and gravy. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
