July 4th

I hope everyone had a great 4Th of July! It is one of my favorite holidays! I love the cookouts and the fireworks and summer especially!
Casey started out the day by mowing the lawn and weed eating while I was in the kitchen all day cooking for the party that we went to. I made potato salad ( not your normal potato salad though) and beans. I have the best bean recipe! It has pork and beans, hamburger, jalapenos, onions and BBQ sauce, it was so good, I could have eaten them all! Then we got the best watermelon, the first one we have bought that wasn't bad this summer!
So when I was making the beans and I was cutting the jalapenos, I washed my hands thinking that was enough to get the burning off my hands, well I was wrong because I went to rub my eye, and it was on fire! My hands were pretty much on fire for the rest of the night and into Sunday, these must have been some serious peppers, or I am a baby!
We headed over to my friend's house and enjoyed all the food and met new people. We watched the kids play in the sand box and on the swings. Then it was finally dark. The moment I had waited all day for! Fireworks! Since we were outside the city limits, it meant that we were able to shoot them off ourselves! All the guys had a blast and the women and kids just watched.
We had a really great 4Th! I cant wait for next year, when we will be able to share it with our little one!
