4th of July 2009

I JUST realized that I never actually posted this... I saved it because I didn't have time to finish adding all the pics I wanted, and then forgot all about it... ughh... so here it is...
This year for 4th of July, it was a bittersweet day. We spent the morning/day/evening with the Matthews to celebrate Chrissa's life, and give her a grand birthday party. Moncrief came down from Idaho and spent time here for the first week while we were all trying to cope with Chrissa's death. It was really nice to see him. He has lost all kinds of weight and is looking very healthy! But I think it was good for Junior to have his good friends around, it didn't make anything any better, but I think it helped him to know that his friends supported him so much. There were probably close to 200 people who came in and out of the Matthew's house on Chrissa's birthday. Pictures of her were all over the pool table for anyone to take if they wanted, people brought presents that were later donated, there was good food, great company and conversations.






The Boys reunited!


My lovely karate ladies! Love these girls <3>





Yes these boys are CRAZY when they are all together...

The next day we did fireworks or 'pretties' as Ryan likes to call them... Ryan had such a full day on the 4th that he passed out around 6:30 and was OUT for the night.










Now Ryan has been asking almost every day to do 'pretties'. We have been going bowling almost every day lately and the carpet at the bowling alley he pointed to it and said *gasp* 'hunnie! it's pretties!' It was so cute.
