Ain't he the cutest thing??

Happy Fourth!

We had a great Independence Day.  Jeremy took the older 4 kids to the Butterfly Park & to get a treat in the  morning.  By the time they got home at 10:30ish they were sweaty & hot.  We had a water balloon fight & played in the sprinkler in the afternoon & in the evening we headed to the place of some new friends we've met at church for a BBQ & firework show.  They live kind of out of town a bit with some land.  They have a party every year & probably 200-250 people come out for it.  The food was good & the fireworks were amazing!  It was seriously better than any city show I've seen except for maybe Seattle.  I was impressed.  Have I mentioned we've lived in Springfield for 2 years & 2 months & we are now in our 3rd ward (church congregation) & we have stayed in the same house??  It's craziness but I actually really like it.  It's been fun to meet lots of new people every time they switch us around & I reaaaallllly like this newest ward we're in.

 

I think this is the coolest picture Jeremy took of this Praying Mantis.  I think he should submit it to the National Geographic Amateur contest (if that even exists).
