For the 4th the boys, and Charyn went early in the morning golfing and then Mom, Paxten, Paige and I met them in Idaho Falls and we went to Five Guys Burgers and got burgers and fries to go. We went to a park and have a little picnic in the shade and visited. Paige wasn't feeling well all of the sudden and ended up throwing up a few times, I think she had a little stomach bug, that Parker got a few days later. So Paige wasn't feeling like herself during the picture taking. I am lucky that Matt will appease my wishes to take lots of pictures and that he is willing to be in them. Charyn had a hard time convincing Mike to be in a family picture and my dad doesn't like to do pictures either. So I am glad that Matt likes (or will at least he pretends to) to be in the pictures. We had a fun time being together and celebrating this wonderful day.
Later that night we had a BBQ at my parent's house. My Grandpa and Grandma Williams came into town along with my cousin Lauren and her husband Rhett and their two boys. We had a fun time with them eating and lighting fireworks. That was Parker's favorite part about the day. All day long he asked when we were going to light the fireworks. We finally gave in about 8:00 and started doing them, it was still light outside, but I couldn't take him asking me anymore. He makes me a little nervous because he is such a pyro. He isn't the least bit scared or nervous around fire. I am sure going to have to watch that boy carefully and keep the matches locked away. He had a blast watching the fireworks and I am sure that was the funnest thing he did all day! Paige fell asleep during the show, so I know she still wasn't feeling well. But we had a good time and enjoyed being able to celebrate the holiday together!
