Happy Pioneer Day!

The July holidays are some of my favorite.  I had to work the 4th of July, but my mom took Sophie to the parade and activities while Kale stayed inside the {cool} house with the baby.  I also had to work July 24, but only part of the day.  The day was good but I was glad to come home to my family and my sweet girl!  We went to my Mom's house because my brother and cousins had planned a little BBQ.  After we ate, my mom talked everyone into helping haul the hay in the field.  Oh boy!

Kale and Sophie just rode around the field on the 4-wheeler.  Kale wants no part in manual labor.



I rode in the truck with the baby and my sister.



The boys and my mom hauled the hay.  It didn't take long with all the helping hands.


Then it was time for the real party: Fireworks!  Sophie loved it.  Jeff was the foreman for the job and had the industrial-size lighter.  Sophie wanted to "help" with just about everything and he was so cute and patient with her.  She loved the fireworks!



We just hung out and watched with the baby.  We spent the time passing her between the three of us and protecting her ears!  She is such a darling baby and SO good!  We are so lucky to have her.
