On Saturday Fort Benning had their 4th of July Celebration. They usually do it a week before the 4th cause a lot of people go out of town. This is one of the things that the military is just great at. They DEFINATLY know how to celebrate. Nobody does the 4th like the Army! They have a huge celebration with food, a live band (usually someone famous), games, a whole bunch of the big blow up bouncers and slides (which the kids could play on all they wanted free of chargs), and of course a big fireworks show. And the best part is, it's all FREE!! (Except for the food, of course). Here's Ambria LOVING the fireworks, she was cheering and clapping the whole time.
Braydon with his friends Kaleb and Kaden. We had to force them to look up from their
game boy DS's to smile for this picture.
Kristin and me. Let's keep in mind people that it was extremely hot and humid and any makeup I was wearing had smeered and sweated right off my face. Kristin, of course looks great!
Just the girls, I don't know what was going on with Ambria here....
The Ellis's getting ready for some fireworks. We all backed our cars in the driveway like this and sat in the trunks. It was cold outside. Well, "Alabama cold."
The kiddies, trying to get warm.
Happy New Years! This year we had our friends the Ellis's and the Gerling's over. We BBQ'd some yummy food and lit off some fireworks in the driveway. It was a blast. Although I was sick and coughng all night, I just took some meds and still had a great time. Here are a few pics of the festivitites.

Welcome to our family blog. We are using this mainly as a way to keep in touch with long lost family and friends. I decided that with everyone scattered to the winds that we could stay involved this way. xoxo
