Fantastic 4th of July

We had an amazing 4th of July! Our day started out with William sleeping until 8:00!!! We got up and after breakfast headed out to the beach for the morning. Our friends Joia and her boy Keenan met us there. Her husband Philip had to work so we missed him but still had a great time. Unfortuately my pictures didn't turn out as good as Joia's so I snagged some of her beach pics from her blog.

Here is our first official blog picture. (Matt in his cowboy hat of course)

Joia and her boy Keenan enjoying the water.

After the beach we headed home and let William take a bath and a much needed nap. Matt and I ate some home made icecream that William had help me make yesterday in preperation for the 4th.

Watch out Emeril! (William on the 3rd making the ice cream)

After William woke up from his nap we headed over to Brandon and Brittny's house for some awesome ribs and home made ice cream sandwiches.

Our neighbor Britny and her 5 month old Sophie.

Wendi, John and Isaac even made it over with her brother and sister-in-law.

And you know it is a good party when Matt ends up in William's wagon with a beer.

Brandon and Britny had some friends in from Montgomery, AL. Bert ended up with Matt's hat.

William had too much fun playing in the dirt pit with the other boys.

All three muddy boys got in the tub before fireworks (William, Nicholas, and Christopher)

After the bath we all headed across the street to the bay to watch fireworks. We didn't stay long but saw some good ones. Another show started after we got home but Matt and I decided hanging at the house sounded good so we opened our blinds and watched them from our living room. We hope everyone had a great 4th.
