Happy July 3rd!

This year my family helped me out by celebrating July 4th on the 3rd since I work weekends. It worked out better for me to have it on Friday. We went to my parent's house and had BBQ and all the trimmings. It was so good! I was sad to miss out on seeing fireworks with the kids but it turned out they went to bed early so I didn't miss anything.

Mondo wakes up early and goes to my parent's house to help fire up the wood burning grill. This year Ethan went with him and helped cook. He loved it! We will have to make that the new tradition that he gets to go help too.
Helping Papa with the home made sauce.

Gotta sample it to make sure it's just right! He called me to tell me that he ate BBQ and I was shocked. Turned out that he was just dipping bread in the sauce...but that was still an accomplishment for my super picky eater!

Ahh, such a good helper!

"Hmmm...I don't know about this hot dog." I love his face! And no, he didn't eat even half of that food.

Yum, how about a star shaped donut instead. Thanks Aunt Shawna! Actually, he just ate off the blue icing.

Ethan and his cousin Hailey. They are both saying "cheese".

This was my attempt to get a cute picture of them. I forgot to get one before we left the house. Once we got to my parent's house it was all over. Caleb was too busy to sit still and smile for the camera.
