Better late than never had turned into my blogging motto. I had an unfortunate accident on the 3rd. I sat on some scissors and had quite the puncture wound through my hookus. We called a trusty EMT friend and after I vehemently said no to stitches, he used tape and taped the hole back together, so needless to say I laid on my side for about 24 hours so that it would heal enough that it would not pop back open if I moved. I did not hurt as bad as I thought being stabbed in the butt would :) Luckily I was raring to go to fireworks on the 4th. We headed out to Boulder City for a fantastic fireworks show. It was one of the best I have ever seen!
Since the 4th was on a Sunday I had to make sure the kids looked patriotic. I made Samarrah a little tulle skirt, and made Ayo a "big boy" tie that ties just like his daddies. They looked so cute and festive, and Sammarah came home and bore her testimony to me, something she learned while watching people at church...she is to precious.



We had a great time with friends in Boulder City.

Ayo rocking his Aunties blue hair!

Samarrah almost burned a hole straight through her skirt with a sparkler, I had a mild coronary.


The 4th of July is definitely one of my favorite holidays. I LOVE this country and all of the freedoms we have, and am so grateful for all of those who fight to keep it that way.
