The 4th of July is always fun. This year Abigail and I got to spend it with my sister Carrie, brother Cameron, his wife Jenny, and her family the Francom's. Tim of course had to work, leaving the house at 3:30. Before he left to work we did get to go eat brunch at Mimi's Cafe. They have the best fresh orange juice! That night around 7:00 we went to the Fran
com's house in Mesa. They have a beautiful home that is perfect for entertaining. All the kids got to go swimming in the pool. Abbey didn't have a swimming suit but that didn't stop us. She swam in a diaper with the help of my cousin Derek. He took Abbey around the pool and
towards the end got her to come out of her shell. After some watermelon we ate some BBQ. All the families went to go watch fireworks with the exception of Cam, Jenny, Jenny's parents Kent and Gloria, Carrie, Abigail and me. We hung out in the backyard and played with sparklers and confetti poppers!
We even got a private mini firework show by the neighbors! Abbey didn't like the noise and held on real tight to me. Then we topped off the night by having a piece of cake. By this time it was 9:30, so Abigail was up way past her bedtime. We left only to be caught in the firework detours! The only good thing about that was we got to see some real big fireworks while waiting in line. Abbey enjoyed watching them in the comfort of her car seat. When we got
home it was 10:00 and Abbey was still up! Thankfully we slept in till 8:00 this morning. Tim got home around 1:00 am, not as late as Tuesday night's 2:00! Abigail was really excited to see her daddy as soon as he woke up later that morning and we all went to Fry's in our PJ's to get some doughnuts for breakfast! Looking back it was a fun 4th of July, but we sure did miss having Tim with us. I think Tim working the holiday with all the mandatory overtime
put a damper on his and my spirits. Tim loves his job but it sure does stink that he works every major holiday. It's not the same with out him.

I almost managed to ruin your 4th, Connie! Just kidding? My favorite part was when Cam fell off the bench. He was so concerned about spilling the drink he was holding, he didn't even try to break his fall. Hope he's still ok, and doesn't have major back pains! Thanks for hanging out with me, Connie!
Looks like a happy fourth! Abbey's hair is so cute!!
Your family is so good lookn'.
