Yes, we are alive! We went on vacation for 2 1/2 weeks in Kansas and we had so much fun! We left just before the 4th in order to celebrate my favorite holiday at home with our neighborhood family! Ever since I can remember the 4th of July has been a pretty hard-core holiday with celebration from morning till midnight! Since Nick and I have been married we haven't been able to join in the festivities so I made sure we'd be there this year.
Phase 1 : The neighborhood parade! We haven't actually participated in this for a few years, but Seth definitely wanted to!

Walking up to Tomahawk Elementary (my old stomping grounds) to start the parade.
Check out his sweet ride! Chelsea and I made it fabulous and festive!
Next Up Phase Two: The Water Fight!
We are hard core - no loyalty at all ... every man for himself!
Seth got the raw end of the "no-loyalty" by accident ... so he had to sit out after a minute or two of watching the chaos!
Grandpa Wofford - ready for action!
Nick and Taylor stalking their next victims! :) It was probably me.
Seth found a safe place away from the craziness!
the whole crew minus grandma Wofford taking the picture!
We went for a dip after the water fight (why not?) and did some creative jumping ...
just like old times!
Seth enjoying the pool!
the 4th in hard work ... I would have fallen asleep to if i'd been in a floaty like that!
the other phases I didn't capture picture of but just FYI i'll give you a list.Phase 3: Going to Missouri to purchase fire works
(which we definitely did this right this year)
Those of you involved know what I mean
Phase 4: neighborhood BBQ dinner at the Oliver's casa (picture above)
Phase 5: City fireworks. this year we decided to go see Gardner's and they were
actually pretty good.
Phase 6: Our fireworks show. They were pretty crazy.
Lets just say SUPERNOVA!!!!
I hope that little elementary school stays intact after that show.
The 4th was so much fun! I LOVED being home and we apart of all the fun!
More posts to follow in the next few days of the rest of our crazy long trip.
