3rd of July

The 3rd of July is my mom's birthday so we went out to eat with the family then went back to my parents house to have cake. Sienna and Bryden really like each other and I think they'll be best buds soon. They're a year and three days apart in age. Sienna loves to take care of Bry but soon it's going to seem like they're the same age. Me, Garrett, and Sienna and Shelby and Bryden were outside at my parents before the fireworks started doing sparklers. We thought the kids might like them but they weren't too impressed.

Garrett always has fun doing his own fireworks. I'm always afraid that he's going to get hurt or light something on fire.

We had fun with my Papa and his wife Linda who were in town. They live in Utah and we don't get to see them much. My papa was dancing around with a sparkler to entertain Sienna. She thinks he's hilarious. We all do. He also did a roman candle thing that Garrett gave him. But it wasn't a normal type of roman candle. It was shooting out these big blasts of firecrackers and it shocked us all. He was just sitting in his chair shooting them then he thought they were done so he turned to look at us and the roman candle was pointing towards my parents wall and another one came out and shot right at the wall. I was a little scared the whole time but we were all laughing so hard and Sienna thought it was awesome. She told him to do it again.

Then the fireworks started and Sienna liked them but only sat and watched them for a few minutes. After that she just wanted to go up and down the slide.

This is her saying cheese!

Sliding down.

And back up again. It was a little different having the fireworks and celebration on the 3rd of July but not too much. Yesterday on the 4th we had pie at Garrett's parents house and sang happy birthday to the USA. Sienna's all about the birthdays now and says happy birthday to everyone. She's going to have so much fun on her birthday I hope. It's coming up soon!
