4th of July

We had our first 4th of July in Arkansas. It started off with a ward flag raising ceremony and a pancake breakfast. It was really fun and yummy. Afterward we went home and Blake and I took a much needed nap. When we woke up we decided to get some lunch at subway. I was feeling too pregnant to do anything adventurous so we went home and watched "We are Marshall". That evening we went to our good friends the Elliots to have hot dogs and ice cream and to shoot some fireworks. The food was very good and we had fun watching some of the kids and dads light some fire crackers. Unfortunately, Blake threw up in my hand (yuck). So we took him home to go to bed. I thought maybe he had some kind of virus, but I think it might have just been related to teething. Once Blake went to bed Matt and I ate some ice cream and had a nice talk. Besides the throwing up part. We had a great 4th and I am grateful for the Country we live in!

I love Blake's shirt! Natalie, every time I look at pictures of him I can't get over how handsome he is! Seriously, he is such a handsome boy! I can't believe how close you are getting to having another one! I'm so excited for you! It looks like Arkansas is treating you well, but I can't wait until you come home!
