So, Im Brown
Many of you probably know that my son Nehemiah loves to talk, but much of what he says isn't understandable to most. I always say that i can not wait for the day when we understand everything he's saying because he has alot to say and im sure its got to be funny! Well today i got a little piece of this funny. He was standing next to me in his underwear, and as i was admiring his beautiful skin he said "Miah brown", to which i replied, "yes, nehemiah is brown your skin is so nice" i then put his arm next to mine to compare, and said "Nehemiah's brown, what color is Mommy? is mommy brown?" "No" he said as he tapped his finger on his cheek in deep thought, "YEAH! Mommy brown!" he screamed as he pointed to one of my many moles on my arm....hahaha hilarious, there you go, i AM brown, i knew it all along!

the Fourth
Our fourth was SO MUCH FUN! The day started with Daddy heading to work, and the kids and i decided to go visit him. So i got the kids all dressed and patriotic for the day and headed to the airport. It was a good surprise and i think he liked it, actually i know he did, he LOVEs showing off his family.
Afterwards the kids and i headed to Walmart (*note to self: NEVER go to walmart on the 4th) to pick up food for our BBQ. We picked up all of our food and things and headed back home so little Miss Michelle could get a good nap in. The missionaries came over (YES Elder Butler was one of them) and when chris came home we headed to the park to start our BBQ. The kids played on the playground while chris did his thing with the grill, and the Elders tossed around the football.
Right after we finished feasting on our DElicious grub, it started pouring rain...we all sought shelter under the only tree around, and waited for it to pass.
It was Elder Senior's Birthday last week, its Brocks birthday on the 6th and its Elder Cabrara's Birthday on the 18th, so I made cupcakes so we could sing happy birthday to all of them. We had to do it under the tree since it was still raining. Here they are blowing out the candles...LOL
It was alot of fun to have them join us in our festivities, but they had to take off to an appointment they had set to watch fireworks. The sun was SLOWLY setting, chris busted out some of the kids fireworks, and Nehemiah was super into it. Chris taught him how to light these smoke bombs so Nehemiah would light these smoke bombs, and run to the basketball court with it to toss it. It was a good time. Fireworks had been going off for at least an hour at the point and it was constant popping coming from all directions. As the night grew darker more and more fireworks were going off. Here we were at this park in a residential area and there are BIG fireworks going off in 360 degrees. There was no need to go anywhere to "see" any fireworks show there was a show right there all around us. There is nothing like it, so cool, i really like the 4th in Montana. The kids had a good time with their glowing color things and watching the fireworks daddy was lighting and the ones all around us. It really was relaxing an just a good time.
I can't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for my blessings. Im grateful for our Service members who continue to fight so we can live the life we do, im grateful to be an American, Im grateful for my Husband and children, and im grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am so truly blessed.
