4th of July

Fourth of July has always been one of our favorites! Mark said, "The day is almost over and we don't have a single picture!" He asked for it, so he got it.

Daniel and Lula have the greatest brother/sister relationship. They fight like cats and dogs, but Lula won't put up with any of Daniel's nonsense.  She'll be ready to face the world of men when she's an adult. Haha.

I took some of the kids down to a local beach for a few hours, but we had to come home early once Jason started barfing. Ugh. Poor baby.  I just weaned him too and everyone knows that the best things for sick babies is nursing.

 Being sick didn't stop him from pigging out on watermelon....and barfing it all back up!

 Genevieve chopping kindling for the bonfire with her axe kick!

 A table-full of Longbranch Babies. Just looking at all of them makes me just love having a large crazy family.

 I love my Big Babies too.

 S'mores.......

 Yes, Lula has a black eye. She crashed into Heidi.

Scavengers

 The only time of year he indulges in sugar.

Teasing the geese so they will chase them

Genevieve's first year lighting fireworks

Not too sure what she thinks...

And then the battery died!  After it got dark, we lit off the bigger fireworks.  Neither Heidi nor Jason enjoyed them.
