yesterday i started packing for my stadium of the fire excursion…and i got all patriotic that i had to make this banner. i was inspired by this post and added the word “freedom” to my banner. the project was easy and fun and i did it in an hour (while the boys were outside playing in the mud AGAIN, and katie was taking a nap)

this is the last post for the week i think seeing that i’m going to be super busy with festivities, a family birthday and a baby blessing…

have an awesome independence day and lets take a little moment to thank those women and men who bust their butts and make it possible to be the free nation that we are. this 4th of July is just that more special to me this year. and well, i hope you guys appreciate it as much as my family and i . now go buy some fireworks!
