Fourth of July Fireworks!

Happy 4th of July!! (A little late)

Forth of July is me and my family's favorite holiday. Growing up, we were a pyromaniac family. Loved fireworks and blowing things up. Over the years, I've done less blowing things and fireworks up, but still love me some fireworks. Since we moved into our house, we've had people over for the celebration. So it didn't change this year, even though, I was secretly wishing LB would be a firecracker baby.

I made Pioneer Woman's Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork which I just love! Super easy, makes a lot, everyone usually likes it, and is sooo good!! Mike got the horseshoe pit up and running and of course they also had beer pong going. Our neighbors had some great fireworks and we enjoyed our selves all evening.

It was even better because I didn't have to go to work the following day, so I was okay with staying up late. :) Here are some firework pictures from that night!

Fireworks!!

Happy 4th of July!!  This is my favorite holiday!!!  Growing up we went to the lake and my dad and grandpa were the biggest kids of all.  I love watching fireworks and I love celebrating my freedom and my country.  GO USA!!

Mike and I had friends over on Sunday and we ate, drank, played horseshoes, some played beer pong, and lots of laughs and catching up with buddies.  Some also brought their doggies over, so Remi had some friends to play with.

I had to work on the 4th, only a half day, and went to see mom and dad.  We had dinner with them and started watching the New York fireworks, so we were planning on going to Riverparks to watch the Tulsa fireworks.  We ended up testing out Mike's new tailgate on his new ride and hung out in the driveway watching the great show our neighbors put on.  Here are some of the fireworks.

Yes, the cops come...they do every year, and our neighbor gets out of the ticket every time, because he is 'in the missile club' according to the neighbor boy. :) He works for the department of missile defense, so the cops always let him off.  So the show continued...

These were new this year to me...they were lanterns or mini hot air balloons.  So cool!

I LOVE THE USA!!

Best Day of the Year...Well, one of them anyway!

4th of July!! This is one of my absolute favorite holidays! Growing up, we always had a huge Firework show. My dad and grandpa were probably the biggest kids of us all on this day. So, I was super excited when we moved into a cul-de-sac of 4th of July lovers too!
We had friends over with burgers, hot dogs, queso, baked beans, dips, drinks and smores! Mike cleaned up the yard and fixed up the horseshoe pit. When it was almost dark we set up out front to watch the fireworks. They were going on all around us, we could even see some of River Walk over the roof-tops. It was great fun and I got some great pictures too.

Started the wonderful day off at church with July Revival!

One of our neighbors...On 4th of July, I feel like our cul-de-sac turns into a scene from Sandlot. I love it!

And the show begins...

I don't know why...but every time I look at this picture, I see a face...

Mike's favorite firework picture...

We had a great time with great friends. Thanks so much!
