Happy 4th of July!

This is the flag cake that my mom used to always make when I was younger. I decided to carry on the tradition and make it this year for independence day. It is so easy, but sooo yummy! You just bake a white cake (from the box) and when its cool use cool whip and berries to make a flag. Make sure the berries are dry or else it will make a mess! :)Here's Luke... he just keeps getting bigger and bigger! We're getting ready to go swimming on the 4th.
This is Tiffany, Me, and Sarah... We got to Las Colinas early and to get a good spot to watch firework. And of course the boys had to do some fishing in the lake!
Matt is playing with Luke... he is going to be such a good father.... someday!
Right before the firework... I was a little more excited to see the fireworks than Matt, but he loves me so he was enjoying all my excitement.

I just really love fireworks!
After the grand finale there was a fire in the field where they were shooting the fireworks off... We were safe though because it was on the other side of the lake. The firemen were there standing by so the the fire didn't get too out of hand... but fireworks are dangerous and all of you people who shoot of your own should be very careful!!!
On Saturday we had some friend over to hang out. Matt smoked a brisket and it turned out really well! Third times the charm! :) Here is everybody... thanks for coming over guys! I had lot of fun!
