Stars and Stripes and Stars




On the 4th we went up to Parker to spend the evening with Aaron's cousin and his family. M & T were nice enough to grill us some burgers and dogs. Is there anything else to eat on the 4th? The kids all played in the pool and the sandbox. They all had a great time. The three of them really are cute together with all their blue eyes and blonde hair.

We ended the evening with a fireworks show in Parker. We were lucky enough to have front row seats. It was a really nice display. The fire truck had to put out 3 fires. The ground here is very dry. We had headphones on the kids so that the noise wouldn't bother them. Caleb was completely mesmerized by the fireworks.

Now to the other stars. I am working on making a quilt for Aaron. I am doing this as a gift to him for his commissioning. I am taking his enlisted uniforms, cutting them up and making a quilt. I must let you know that I have never made a quilt before so this is quite an endeavor. Wish me luck!
