July 4th

Tia hosted the July 4th extravaganza this year - and with the addition of the "Nacho Bar" I think we just about perfected it!! Oh and the gymnastics finale...oh! and the flag ceremony!! Oh! oh! oh! and the video with my off-key vocals in the background that turns my husband into a hysterical laughing lunatic every time he gets a chance to play it--for anyone willing to listen :(
Oh yes - we WILL have ourselves a formal flag ceremony
Well - as formal as these nuggets could muster.
Caught in on video for anyone interested...
Then - Tia instructed everyone on the "rules of the games"
The commissioner gave us the ok to begin
Ella disobeyed the "no running" rule...
McLaren obeyed
Then came the 3-legged race.  Seriously if you want to die laughing - grab an old sock and just tie your kids up with it!  3 year olds and a 3-legged race do NOT mix.
No comment.





competitive 6 year olds and a 3-legged race do not mix either.



Love this! Why does she get all the hair!?
Costume change.

Cute sister...
Short Sister...(what!!?? she gets the hair...)




FINALE.
Concentration.


excellent execution - toes pointed even.
Sheri's specialty was ariels.


Tia's specialty was back handsprings -she threw down on 2 in a row...impressive.






Taylor's specialty was meat.
Timmy's specialty was eating it.



Gma Kathy was forced by her daughter to make the watermelon bowl beautiful.  She scored.
Trifles - the best "throw together" summer dessert! 
 A final word from our sponsor


And we had a formal flag "removing" ceremony as well... then we headed off to the Palmer rodeo...stay tuned!

What was David's specialty? It doesn't say.

David said...

My specialty, as always is observation and commentary. And Tia, don't get me started on you. June 17th is the last time you bothered to share pictures with us? Unacceptable. Don't you know that viewing pictures of your family online makes up for having to socialize and function as a unit in real life? C'mon T!

David's specialty was briefly touched on at the beginning..."Presiding Commissioner" He announced "let the games begin" or was it mayhem??
