Speaking of fun, yesterday was the fourth of July! I hope everyone had a great time celebrating our independence and the blessing that it is to live in a free country! Yesterday was a little bit crazy for us, but hey, it wouldn't be our life with out a little crazy huh? I woke up early to run with some very dear friends, and hit a milestone! I ran four miles for the first time! Whoo hoo! Then came home to start the fun fourth festivities! We started with a patriotic breakfast for me and Brody (Lance isn't a breakfast eater). Thank you Pinterest for the yummy idea! It's just toast, strawberry jelly, bananas and blueberries! Brody loved it!
I was on call for the OR on the fourth and got called in not long after we had breakfast. I worked for about five hours while Lance and Brody played at home. I then came straight home to cook for our evening plans. Every year we go to a close family friends house for a fish fry, swimming, wiffle ball game and fireworks show. I took cheesy corn casserole by request and made some yummy dessert kabobs that I forgot to get a picture of. Fail. They were so cute though! I dipped marshmallows in red and blue candy melts, then added strawberries, and red and blue marbled vanilla cake that I cut into star shapes with a cookie cutter.
We had so much fun at the party! The family lives on a ranch and have horses, cows and lots of land. Brody loves roaming around there property looking at animals and playing on the tractors! I didn't get any pictures of the afternoon because we were too busy roaming. :) We then settled in for some fire works and I managed to get a shot of my boys enjoying the show.
Have a blessed day y'all! See you soon!
Yum! That toast looks delish! Thanks for linking up.
