July 4th photos....fun!

We celebrated the 4th of July at home....grilled out some dogs and played in the yard waiting for night to fall...

and he's mad about it...lol!

madi hung out in her swing...taking in the sights!

while Sammy played on the slide...

then unfortunately, someone found the beer!

(this is an empty can, so quit freaking out!!)

ummm....i'm busted!

HONEST, OFFICER.  I WASN'T DRINKING.

who's the hottie with the body?

waiting for the fireworks to start out back...

SAVE ME!!!

Sam got to hold a real sparkler...cool!

Here's MS. AMERICA!!

Our first crop harvested....zucchini!!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July...we did!

This week at Practical Scrappers...

Animate!  Who's your favorite cartoon character?  Kids got a favorite?  Scrap it!

I had this odd photo of my son's favorite character...Buzz Lightyear...so I rifled through my stash for the perfect papers and embellie's to make it work!

Enjoy!
