flashback friday: fourth of july 2010

this last 4th of july celebration

was one of my favorite ever!

we invited two families over to pig out

on bbq pulled pork sandwiches,

fruit salad,

cookies, a patriotic cake and flag cupcakes!!

soooo yummy.

sooooo yummy in fact,

i forgot to take a picture of all the food.

i just shoved it all in my face instead.

these are our friends, jeremy and shayna.

they have 2 boys + 1 girl + 1 boy growing in a belly.

i know what ur thinkin,

"NO WAY! she doesn't even look prego!"

i know, it's sickening. she's AdOraBle.

our other favorite family was the gorgeous rita and carl

MY neighbors.

i sure love these guys.

man,

i really got lucky with them.

after dinner we loaded up in our cars,

with our blankets, chairs and bug spray,

and headed out to the football field on base

to watch the big show!

we found a cozy spot,

and plopped ourselves down.

penny was taking this vErY seriously.
when the show started,

i hit the jackpot because izey was scared of the sound

so he just wanted to cuddle with me

allllllll niiiiiiiight looooooong.

mmm. he. is. cozy.

miah, whose been scared of fireworks all his life,

was finally brave this year!

he loved it!

but let us not forget,

this boy has a sugary sweet soft side too.

and michaella, rita's girlie, is a pro at bringing it out.

hot DAMN,

i got some good lookin kids.

and a seriously FINE lookin Lover.

look at that white leggie in the background

bein all flexible and crap.

shoooooooot.

here's my little princess koko

in her fabulous pettiskirt

sent to her directly from this lady!

is it not adorable?!

she's been waiting for it for a looooooong time.

so it's a very coveted piece of clothing now.

she wishes she had 50 more

cuz she wants to wear it everyday.

the firework show was soooo romantic to me.
