the 4th

**Orrin and I spent 30 minutes trying to get a pic of all 4 kiddos smiling at the camera, and this is the best we got.**



On Independence Day, we got up early (and everyone was just so thrilled... and by everybody, I mean OP) and went to see Cars 2.

Honestly, it was kinda disappointing. But the kids liked it and we got to eat popcorn for breakfast, so it wasn't a total waste.

Ain't this baby the cutest? 'Cause I think he is!



Orrin had to work early the next day, so he stayed home with lil' Wyatt while the rest of the kids and I went with mi familia to Rustler's Rooste. This place was super awesome, but I think I want to go back when it's not a holiday (and probably without the chillens) to fully enjoy.




**And a tip: he kiddos eat free, but their drinks cost as much as an adults. I didn't know this**



It was a cowboy steak house, and the atmosphere was terrific.



Awwww...



They had a live country band there with dancing. Luckily we brought along Aunt Whit to get out there and shake it!







This is my big bro Zach... look how his and his lil' baby Nola's expression match!



I thought that these carrots were the coolest.











We were going to watch the fireworks from the porch on the restaurant, but there was a ton of people and it was sweltering, so we watched about 4 different shows from the freeway on the way home!
