Ryan was so exhausted from swimming literally all day. His eyes were red and he was barely hanging in there. He lasted for about 20 minutes, 2 smoke bombs and a sparkler and then he insisted on going inside and laying on the couch and watching cartoons. We tried to coax him outside several times but he was just too dang tired.
Tyson is freaked out by the sound the fireworks make so he stayed inside and watched through th window while wearing ear plugs.
Blake is a pyro and so are his 2 cousins. We were letting them take turns lighting small things but at one point we caught all three of them with their own lighters sticking kabob sticks in coke cans and lighting them on fire. Don't worry we didn't have to call 911 this year (unlike last year due to my little sister and a roman candle).
I thought this was a picture of Ryan. It's not. And I have no idea how to remove it.
Me and John pretty much doing nothing (which is probably how the kids wound up with lighters). Tater was still asleep at this point and we were enjoying it.
Tater. After having been woken up by illegal fireworks on both sides of my mom's house. He wasn't scared and he didn't cry but he never let go of me or John. It worked out well because we didn't have to chase him!

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I love all the pictures of everyone...it is crazy to see how everyone has grown up. Your little Tate is so adorable (and so are your other kids).
Ryan is totally a Emily look alike. It's freaky. That picture of you and John is great too. One of these days we will make it to your family festivities.
cute pics! that really was fun! i love the picture of tyson through the window!
Well, as it turns out, your blog has won the award (and a very prestigious one at that). The award, of course, is "Steven's favorite blog." So congratulations!
What great in sight to take that picture of him watching out the windows with his ears plugged. It will be fun to have that picture when he is older. What a fun day for you.
