Fourth of July Pictures

As our family and our extended families grow, I notice that we are trying to establish some traditions. I think that we're trying to get a fun one started, and this is my family's second year participating. Mike's sister and her family invite us to their house every 4th of July (or the closest weekend). They invite all of Mike's siblings and their families, and all of the cousins enjoy playing together all weekend. Two years ago, we all took family photos at my sister-in-law's house. They turned out great, and I truly hope it becomes a yearly tradition. As this blog is public, I'm only going to post photos of my own family. We had 8 kids there, ranging in ages from Mason (7 months) to my nephew who is 8 years old. Believe it or not, we actually got a photo of all the kids together, smiling, AND looking at the camera! Then, we even got a good photo of the entire family (those who made it down)!

Here are the photos of me and the main guys in my life:
