Pioneer Day 

has come and gone but I have some

  great pictures to show all the fun we had with

our friends and family.

A few of the neighbors, including us, 

brought our families, BBQ's, blankets,

tables & chairs all together in

Scott & Sarah's cool and shady backyard.

Where we had a big Pioneer Day Bash!

We grilled steak, hamburgers, hot dogs & chicken.

 Everyone brought sides to share. Pot luck style.

We had a massive spread of food, drinks & goodies.

It was finger licking good!!!! Literally :)

Kids were running wild all night playing

together and having so much fun hanging out.

Once it was dark, the fireworks came out.

My boys had been anxiously awaiting 

this event all day long! Asking me 

over and over again, "Is it TIME?????"

Driving me nuts! :) 

Earlier in the day Matt took the boys to a

Fireworks stand and bought a bunch 

 of little firecrackers for the kids to do 

and big fancy fireworks for the grown ups.

I can't believe some of these fireworks are Legal?

They are so cool!!!!

All the neighbors pitched in and 

bought fireworks too.

 We took turns lighting them.

And had a pretty sweet show right

in our own backyard!!!

all night. He didn't even take a break
to eat his dinner. :)

Landen wasn't ready for the pic. LoL

Everyone chilling out waiting for the sun
to go down so the real fun can begin!

Me & CodeMan!!!

Annsley with those Baby Blue Eyes.

The boys. Can't believe they are sitting
here being so good. ???  Oh, it's
because Matt is lighting the cool
firecracker that drops parachutes! :)

 The kids took off running to the front
of our house where all the parachutes
were landing. Thanks to G-ma for going
with them and taking this great picture.

While waiting for it to get dark for the BiG
fireworks to start, Matt had a bunch
 of fun LiTtLe firecrackers for the boys.
Smoke bombs, tanks, snakes, snap-its, etc.

As soon as the fuse would go out the boys
were right there to clean up and get ready
for the next one. Anxious???

Tank Wars! Classic.

Crew with picking up the spent
 tanks with his tongs.

Then they put the spent ones in a bucket of water.

Not sure what this was. Maybe another tank??

Love how the kids are all lined up watching.

Hanging out with our awesome neighbors.
It was so fun to just relax and talk.

L to R- Jessica, Blake, Nikki, Rachelle, Sarah, & Scott.

The boys still watching firecrackers.

The End :)
