The boys and I had a total blast this year! It started with us rising early to go eat a huge Holiday Breakfast with the Mayor of Gilbert! We went to the Power Ranch, Breakfast for the 4Th. It reminded me of Weiser's Mormon Church 4Th breakfast. I painted the boys faces and dressed them for the occasion and as soon as we got there I somehow managed to start a line for painting all the other kids faces who came to breakfast. We got to talk to the fireman and police man (none of which were single, dang it - haha)! After breakfast they gave all the kids bread to go feed the duckies, which was the highlight of Benson's day. Then they got to play in the park and be part of a "KID" parade, which Fox 10 news taped and aired today! YEAH!
In the afternoon we partied PEARCE style at Cody's and Kris's. We swam, ate, played and enjoyed the day to it's fullest! I don't know what it is when our family gets together, but there is never a dull moment and I swear I get in a full body work out from all of the laughing. I do have to brag that Cody got us all to measure our Body fat, and I have been working so hard with my eating and exercise that I measured in at a 16.3%. OK that is the only thing I have been able to brag on for a while, LET ME HAVE MY GLORY, after all it is the 4Th of July! Benson finally got in the water after two hours of screaming, I guess I could brag about that if his screams were not still echoing in my ears.
To end the Spectacular day we went to Fireworks at the new soccer fields on German and Greenfield. BEAUTIFUL! Benson was mesmerized and kept ewing and awing over the colors, Britton was so happy about the fireworks as he jumped from his stroller to my arms as soon as the loud popping noises started. We also got to see Jordan Sparks sing the National Anthem, which even though I am not a big American Idol fan, I still thought that was pretty neat. The boys finally fell asleep on the way home (10:30) and I am left with nothing but pure thanks for AMERICA! I love the 4Th, it is my favorite holiday of them all. An all day celebration!!!
