All set!

We went to the Old Navy summer clearance sale this week, and almost all of the stuff that would have fit her a year from now (I was looking for jammies) was already gone. Sad day. But they did have one pair that fit her right now and she doesn't have an abundance so we picked them up. If you can't read the shirt, it says Miss Independent, and boy isn't that the truth! We are very excited to celebrate our nation's independence today. Baby got her first exposure to patriotic songs on Sunday when I led Primary music, and she picked out her own outfit for today. She really is kind of a fashionista and gets really excited when she sees something she likes. When she saw her dress for today at Walmart, she had loud exclamations of "Gee! Gee!" (she only says that when she's really happy), and she laughed and laughed and hugged it.

Craig and I didn't really get to do anything for our anniversary because of a minor financial setback and the A/C issue with my car (Tad & Erin were very nice though and took us out to dinner), so we decided to spend the money we set aside from summer financial aid for our anniversary on fireworks. We didn't get to buy a lot of fireworks when I was a kid but I always loved them and I LOVE the 4th of July. So we are excited about that. Today we are going to Yakima to visit Dan & Jessica, then we are going to honor my own tradition that I've done for years - watching "The Patriot" and reading Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death speech". Later we are going to the Schneiders' (Matt & Delayna) for grillfest. Carolyn and Eva will be very excited to see eachother, especially since they haven't seen eachother since Tuesday.

Happy 4th everyone!
