HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

The first pics are of Madi last year on 4th of July!! We lite some off last night and she was NOT havin it.. She was getting scared.. haha It was actually quite funny to me! Cuz the night before when we went to a rodeo and they had fireworks afterwards she LOVED them.. She got so mad when they were over (i think she was just super tired!!!)

And this is Jason shootin off his FIREWORKS.... Ok not really but he did tell me they are gonna shoot stuff off tonight. Leave it up to the Army guys to find fun things to shoot up!! Yes he does have flames on his back from the motar. This one was shot off for a purpose though.. What that purpose is.... I don't know, and don't really care too!! He said it was the loudest thing he has EVER heard.. YA THINK?!?

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.. THIS IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE FIREWORKS AND STUFF. I REMEMBER MY FAVORITE 4TH'S ON THE BEACH WATCHING THE FIREWORKS SHOOT OFF THE PEIR.. WAY COOL... JASON AND I'S FIRST 4TH BEING MARRIED (OUR ACTUAL FIRST 4TH OF JULY WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE FIREWORKS CUZ IT DIDNT GET DARK ENOUGH IN ALASKA TO SEE ANY!!!!) WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND IN CALIFORNIA. WE WENT TO DISNEYLAND AND GOT TO SEE THE FIREWORKS THERE WHICH IS WAY AWESOME CUZ THE FIREWORKS GO WITH THE MUSIC. AND THEN WE GOT TO WATCH FIREWORKS AT THE BEACH. I WAS 4 MONTHS PREGO WITH MADI AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY. JASON WAS DEPLOYING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MONTH AND WHEN ALL THE PATRIOTIC SONGS WERE PLAYING ALL I COULD DO WAS CRY...
