Happy Fourth!

Our Fourth of July was spectacular!

Oh and shout-out to my awesome sister in-law Danielle...Happy Birthday on the 4th!

 James flipped about 400 pancakes for the ward pancake breakfast

 Pancake breakfast at the park...love the red, white, & blue colors in the background too!

 I made these 4th of July Firecracker Cookies yum!

Barbecue with friends on an overcast day! (Thank goodness for the little bit of rain we got! What a blessing to go from 110 degree weather to 77 degree weather for the holiday!) 

Boys at the Diamondbacks Baseball Game 

Claire also provided some cute entertainment for us 

Look at those gorgeous blue eyes! 

Haha cute boys 

"Buy me some peanuts & crackerjack!" I brought our own boxes of crackerjack from home for everyone.

 Cute little stinker face!

The girls: Me, Ixchel, Whitney & baby Claire

Hot dogs are a MUST.

The Batty's! Look how cute Whitney & Trevor match & Claire's headband! 

The baseball game: Diamondbacks sadly lost to the San Diego Padres 8-6.

Happy Fourth of July babe! 

James goes, "So even though it's a bank holiday for you Chels you're still going to work today!" Haha yeah at Chase field but I'm not working & I still get paid! LOVE working at a bank.

The firework show at the end was amazing!  

Music was playing & the fireworks matched the music!  

My favorite was God Bless America because Ixchel & I were singing our hearts out! 

We are so blessed to live in this amazing free country! We are so glad we had an amazing fun filled 4th of July holiday with our good friends. 
A little video of us singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game with the crowd!
