My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

4th of July Freedom...to enjoy with loved ones♥

We began our fun by having everyone wear their favorite NFL team jerseys..
Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Broncos, Raiders, and the
Cowboys!!!
I love that the picture shaped in a heart turned out
so well with our tribe!

 Then a quick change of clothes into our patriotic ones.
Don't ask why I wanted a Jersey photo?
I just did...

Then we took a few family shots
The Bears fans
Raider Nation


Cowboys




 
After help with the pictures we ate dinner,
Chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans, corn on the cob
and cookies and ice cream.
The boys pitched tents for the big sleepover. This is the 12th year
we have done this.
Here's Leah and Dallas
