Last year we started our own little family tradition. We took Kaden to see the fireworks in Denton, Texas at the University of North Texas stadium where they were having a firework show put on by the Kiwanis. I have to admit, my hubby was right, it was a pretty amazing show. I was used to my dad’s side of the family putting on their annual show (which they still do) just to have fun and spend family time together, just out the country. So it was nice to see a show like that. So since Kaden LOVED it and asked every time throughout the year we passed that stadium going through Denton, if we were going to stop to see the fireworks, we decided it something we need to do as a family every year. Last year at this time we were babysitting Saydee.

| Kaden being goofy like always. :) |
 |
| It's funny...Bethany had more hair than her now, then Saydee did at 5 mons. lol |
 |
| Me and my lil man! |
She’s like our little godchild in a way just don’t have that title. Lol. We had her every other weekend it seemed like that year. Her mom was a teenage single mother (I went to school with her older sister and knew her growing up) and just needed time away. Little did we know a year later we would be taking OUR precious little girl to the firework show. : ) It still amazes me thinking about it. Derek mentioned while we were waiting for the show to start, “I bet you couldn’t picture this, at this time last year”. And it’s true. About this time last year I was beginning to think I wasn’t able to get pregnant again. We tried a year and half about to get pregnant this time around, that’s what having Bethany means oh so much to me and of course her daddy. : )

It was HOT this year, but we managed and daddy went by Sonic to get us some drinks. Derek took Kaden to play on the bounce playgrounds while Bethany and I just hung out in the stands. Of course I had to take a lot of pictures….

As you can see we had a blast!! We got there a tad bit early, but we didn't know what time it was going to start for sure. I hope you all enjoyed the pictures... I'm trying to catch this blog up before Bethany's two month post. :) Can't believe she will be 2 mons on the 2nd! Time is flying by! I will end this post with some pictures I took of my dad's side of the family's little get together on the 3rd of July for fireworks...Take care and May God bless each and everyone of you!!

Kaden thought he had to change clothes because he got wet,
so yes he did dress himself but had to have a flag shirt (from last year) on still. |
 |
| My crazy dad...these were suppose to be for the grand kids lol. |
 |
I think they got more enjoyment out of them than the grand kids.
Gotta love them! |
 |
