4th of July

Okay, so a little bit late but Happy 4th of July!!! We had a busy 3 day weekend but it was a lot of fun. The weather was fantastic, a little warm for some but I loved every minute of it. We had some of my family over for the 4th. As we were getting ready and setting everything up, Jamie opened up his bbq and found this little guy enjoying the warmth. This little lizard didn't want to leave his new home either. It took two of us to finally scare him out of it. It was pretty funny!

We had traditional hot dogs and hamburgers to eat and finished off the meal with homemade ice cream sandwiches. Jamie and I made them the day before, they are really messy to make but they tasted amazing and everyone enjoyed them. We didn't have any left over which is always a good sign of success. Here are a few pictures from the day:

Here is our crazy neighbor, Mickey. He likes to visit and talk, talk, talk. His brother and him live next door and they kept giving us so much food. They sent over ribs, chicken wings, shrimp, margaritas; we had so much food but they wouldn't except no for an answer.

Later in the evening we went to the front yard to watch the neighbors' fireworks. The park was heaving and people are crazy when it comes to fire. Lucky no one was hurt but some people obviously do not read the warning labels. We could also see Angel Stadium and the Disneyland fireworks display. We were pretty much surrounded. It was a great party and we were glad it all went well.
