4th of July

Amy bought all the kids matching outfits. She is too good to us. They loved matching. The boys loved their "pirate hats". However, they did look a lot like cancer patients. So we ended up just tying the bandanas around their heads like head bands. We had a great day!! It was full of swimming, riding a play jeep, relaxing, visiting, a BBQ, and entertainment with fireworks at the Dixie Sun bowl.

Great Grandma with the crew.


The cooks. Hottie David and silly Alex. They made some great hamburgers and hot dogs.


Maxx would not leave the neighbors flag alone. He wanted to just stand by it and touch it. He thoguht it was "awesome."


Ruby as her usual self. She is a goof.


At the Dixie Sun bowl enjoying the entertainment. They did a talent show where 10 contestants sang country songs. It was fun. I do not like country, but I was surprised that I actually knew some of the songs. We danced, clapped, giggled, and had a great time. It was great, plus it was free. It was the St. Georges versions of the Stadium of Fire. It was wonderful. (Plus it did not take 2 hours to get home afterward, so that was a bonus.)

Just relaxing, having a great time.


Micah needed a little daddy time. He is usually very attached to mom so I really love these moments.


These two are inseparable!!



Thanks to Grandma we all got more than our fill on snow cones. They were only $1 and she always spoils the kids so they each got at least 2. They were high as kites. Thanks Grandma! They were delicious!


This picture and the next are the results of the snow cones. They were jumping and dancing. They had turned their straws into violins and drums. We all had a great time. I think that at times the adults were acting goofier than the kids. Okay, maybe just I was. But when there is music you have to dance. David was a good sport and did get up and dance a slow song with me. He was a little embarrassed since we were the only ones dancing. But he is good to me and every once in a while I can get him to embarrass himself. Acting goofy is just part of personality so it doesn't bother me. (Most of the time.)



Matthew really getting into the drums. He is a rocker!


After the entertainment they had a great firework show. Maxx freaked out a little, but toward the end he started calming down and I think that he actually enjoyed it.
(I talked to mom Ashby after the holiday and she mentioned how she missed Maxx watching the fireworks from her front window because he is always too scared to come out. You would have been so proud of him.)

We missed the Ashby's during the holiday. David did not put on his annual firework show. He usually does it at Mom and Dad Ashby's house - I think he really missed this. Here in Vegas they do not celebrate the 24th of July so he won't get a chance to this year. (Maybe the New Year.) We love and miss you all so much. Happy 4th of July!!
