Brady's Party Day and Independence Day!

This day was so much fun! We started out with 15 people waking up and hungry. My FIL made some super yummy omelets and we all got ready for a day of fun. Brandon and my Dad went over to our friends for about 2 hours lending some help with fence posts while my aunt, grandpa and FIL watched the 4 girls and Brady while we (me, my mom, sister, grandma and MIL) did some shopping. We came back and let the guys make a trip to Tri-State for fishing gear for their adventure the next day. We got ready for the BBQ and made some more yummy foods and my sister made yet another to-die-for dessert! I will have to post the recipe for you all. Here is a little description of it...chocolate brownie with small chunks of milky way bars, gooey marshmallows melted over the muffin brownie and then topped with carmel sauce. Oh, my they were so bad yet so good! Autumn and her cute little boys joined us as well as the Horney's, Sandy and Debbie. It was a full house and was so much fun. We ate yummy foods and Autumn made a delicious cake that tasted just like strawberry shortcake but better! As you can tell we weren't short on food or wonderful desserts! We watched Brady open up toys and some adorable outfits than sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY and ate cake! He wasn't sure at first if he should play with the cake or eat it. He figured it out quickly and then got cake EVERYWHERE! It took 3 people helping to get him cleaned up. My Mom was the bravest and was the one to scrub him down in the tub while I held onto him. Thank goodness kids are cleanable :) We sat around and visited and then put the girls down. They were SO tired!!! We heard the fireworks going on but we were enjoying the company of family and friends too much to leave to watch them. My brother came about 10:30pm that night. It was so good to see him.

Here are pictures from our 4th of July:

"I shouldn't have eaten that last bite!"
