All American Kids

I thought it would be fun to sit outside with the kids and watch the fireworks. Boy was I wrong. Some neighbors were lighting fireworks in Candace's cul-de-sac and I guess they were way to close for comfort. Hunter and Kylie both started crying and shaking, Kylie ran inside the house and slammed the door and Hunter threw up all over the driveway and then had quite a stinky diaper if you get my drift...(my poor sensitive boy). It was actually kind of funny but I did feel bad that my kids were scared to death. We tried to explain that the fireworks were pretty and Hunter cried..."FIRE--YERKS pretty???" but I don't think he bought it at all. So I loaded them up in the car and they made me feel like I was driving through a war zone trying to save my children. Hunter screaming "FIRE--YERKS FIRE--YERKS!!!" and Kylie asking "Mommy are the fireworks going to burn our car?" This picture of Hunter was taken earlier that morning but I thought it summed up our evening of "FIRE--YERKS"





Kylie loves having a sister (especially thanks to Grammy and the matching shirts)...and Emma doesn't know it yet but I think she does too.

You should know that Mike laughed his head off about the top story. Mike thought it was funny that Hunter threw up but I laughed about Kylie thinking the car might blow up. Kids are funny.

Liz, you are a great photographer. I love the emotions you catch on the kids faces! How old is Kylie? Will she be in preschool this fall? It looks like you are all having a great summer!
