We have become big fans of the July 4 holiday over the past few years. It's always been great, but there is a new tradition that has begun. For the past few years, we have gone to Brady's cousin, Jayme, and his wife, Ginger's house. Jayme and Ginger host a cookout, and we play fun outdoor games. Jodi is a bit competitive, so she is always fun to compete against. The Rivers couldn't make it this year, and we really missed them, but we had a good time with family.
The theme of this year's party was a water balloon fight. It started out as a water balloon fight and then it turned out to be an entire water war! I do not know if I have ever laughed so hard.
Max and Maggie were ready for the big fight!
The idea was to get Nick. Jayme tried really hard to pull one over on Nick. It didn't work quite as well as he would have hoped!
Nick and Jayme have quite the bromance going on. It's great to watch! :)
I follow a blog called Young House Love and on the Friday before the Fourth they posted this link. I decided to give it a whirl and see if it would work. Disclaimer: My Mom helped me.
Anyway...

Woot woot! It turned out!
Even though we had a lot of fun with the water fight and spending time together, we didn't forget the real reason that we celebrate the Fourth. We wouldn't be here today without the brave men and women in the military who risk their lives for our freedom.
We all made sure to thank our favorite soldier, Nick. Jayme and Ginger were too sweet when they got this cake for him.
Hope you all had a great Fourth! (Even if I am a week late!)
