HaPPy 4th of JULY!!!

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! It could be that is so close to my birthday so I feel like we celebrate for a few days! I love to BBQ and hang out outside with my family and then watch the fireworks.

We got a new pool for the kids, they played in that and we had some family over to eat. Jake made ribs that were awesome. The kids {OK we all did} enjoyed the homemade ice cream and huge cupcakes for dessert. And of course the fabulous Sutch firework display put on by the pyromaniac Jacob LeMar Sutch! We were able to see the fireworks at the Jr. High but it was not the same as our great view from the High school :( We are so blessed to live where we do! God Bless America!

June 27, 1998...has it really been 10 years?

It is amazing how time flies....it just seems like yesterday we were planning our wedding.. then it was our wedding. It was so beautiful that day, I was scared it would rain but there was not a cloud in sight. It was pretty casual ,good food and people enjoying my parents beautiful yard.

We had a lot of fun, Friday was our 10 year anniversary and we spent the afternoon shopping, Jake was such a good sport I wanted a pedicure and he joined me! We went to dinner and then saw a movie. He always spoils me rotten and I was so excited he took all of our negative from our wedding pictures and is having them put on Cd. (These are scanned my me so they don't look so great.) We were always going to go back to Cancun for our 10 year but we are going to Disney World in the Fall with our kids. I think it will be fun to enjoy a vacation with the kids!

I would not change anything about the last 10 years and I can't wait for what the next 10 years will bring. I love to look back at where we started and where we are now. I thought I loved you a lot on the day we got married but each day I find something about you to love you even more. And my oh my d0 we make cute babies! I love you Jake I can't wait to see where we will be in 10 more years!

Strawberry Days at the Montgomery's is treated as a national holiday! My mom can find anything with a strawberry on it, the kids love to see what she has found for this years party. It has been a long family tradition that we all watch the parade by her house and BBQ after, and of course a Strawberry days outfit!!

We had a fun week and by Saturday night my kids were beat. My brothers kids spent a couple days with us and I think I wore them out too!! Max said he loved Mutton bustin, watching motor cross at the rodeo, the carnival and swimming at the pools with his cousins. Kate loved the pretty princesses in the parade she waved at everyone and the carnival she is my little dare devil and loved every ride she went on!

Just goofing off in photoshop and I thought this one turned out cute, just a little vintage look to it.
