Our 4th of July was not at all what we are used to doing - but it was still a ton of fun! Stephanie and her girls came back down on Friday and stayed until Saturday night. The girls played for almost 30 hours straight and amazingly enough there were no melt downs - even though they didn't even go to bed until almost midnight. They built a tent (fort) and slept in it in the front room. Stephanie and I weren't any better - we stayed up until 1 am chatting like old friends - it was so great to catch up!
On Saturday we were all so tired that we had a very relaxing day - INSIDE!! We didn't even go outside until that evening when we lit some sparklers (It was still about 95 degrees). It was actually really enjoyable, but I have to say that we did miss all of the fun activities in Oakley - the parade, the kids activities, and the Rodeo - maybe next year:)
Even though we didn't go out anywhere we still had fun celebrating! The girls got all dressed in their patriotic outfits (including the flag tattoos) and we had a wonderful BBQ (thanks Jed) that ended with star brownies and red, white and blue ice cream. Thanks Arnell's for the fun memories! We will miss you tons!

Your 4th kind of sounds like ours! lol! Different, but good! I'm glad you guys had fun, and totally jealous you got to do sparklers! They're illegal here, go figure! :)
Looks fun. I'll bet you were kind of sad. We missed going up with you guys too. I heard you are coming to Utah. When? We'd love to see you!. Your girls are soo cute.
Looks like you guys had a fun time! I'm sorry you weren't in Utah as well. You guys look great. Busy too!
Also, are those Stephanie Bigelow's girls? Wow they've grown up! I've totally lost track of her, but always ask her mom, and aunts about her when I see them. That's great you got to hang out. If you see her again, tell her hi from me.
Congrats on your cayenne pepper diet Dawg!!! By the way...don't you think , "Dorkiss," is the gayest name ever!!! She couldn't come up w/ anything better than that.
