dear 4th of july,

you are always the best holiday, i have yet to be disappointed. i made sure our day was filled with the usuals (parade, breakfast, naps, sidewinder falls, best friends, sugarhouse park, chik-fil-a nuggets, magazine reading, gossip and of course fireworks). the kids looked amazing in their 4th of july duds, really really amazing. robyn and her family were here (* best 21 days of jude's life) and there was not.a.dull.moment. the sound of laughter could be heard from sea to shining sea. like i said, 4th of july... you are my favorite. i am so sorry i didn't charge my camera to document you more clearly. it would have been nice to document trevan in his wet white shorts going down the slide, but most importantly to document ezzie's 1st independence day. such a silly thing to forget, i should know better! thankfully, brooke  that 'no-talent-ass-clown'  had her camera so we did get some photos of the day. i'm also grateful that nannie and brooke have already made their 4th of july tributes to you on their blogs.

until next year dear friend,
