This is how we celebrated the 4th, we started by going to the Hillsboro Parade. Ian's grandparents came up from Salem and we had some friends sit by us. It started raining toward the end of the parade, yeah wouldn't be an Oregon parade if it didn't rain. It was still fun, and we had saved places under a tree, so didn't get too wet. 
This is Malia and her friend Matthew. 
The joys of potty training! This is how Ian and Gunner spent half of the parade. Poor kid needed to go really bad and was holding it, but would not go in the porta potty, Ian said he kept saying "Gross Potty". 
We then had a BBQ with his grandparents at his parents house then went home and took a nap. Then we had some friends over for another BBQ, but they decided to bring KFC and it tasted so good! Then we went back to his parents house to do fireworks with some of their friends who are actually in our ward too. 
Gunner enjoyed the popits and the girls Malia (another one) and Olivia. 
And Malia enjoyed the sparklers and just being with her friends. 
The funniest part was Gunner. He was so scared of the "noise" The only way he would stay with us and not run into the garage is if someone covered his ears for him. Silly kid!

It looks like you guys had fun! That is so funny that Gunner had to have someone cover his ears during the fireworks! I also thought the potty thing was hilarious.
The program I used for the scrapbook pages is from smilebox.com. You can either do free ones just to put on your blog, or you can pay $40 a year to have extra options and to be able to print them. It is so easy because the layouts are already done and you just drag the picture into the spot. I really like it so far!
Sounds like you had a great 4th of July. Even in the rain you still look fabulous! Those are some really cute pictures of your family.

Abby didn't like the loud fireworks either. She only liked the small, colorful ones. She kept yelling "PRETTY" over and over. We'll have to do some when you come down for the 24th. We can't wait to see you guys!
What a sweet little guy! Poor thing being scared of the porta potty! I'm still scared of those things! I had to convince Raelyn that it was ok to pee while squatting when we were out in the woods this last weekend. She just didn't understand why that was okay!
Glad you had a fun 4th!
