Happy 4th??

It has been raining cats and dogs here in Texas!! And sadly, the fourth of July was no exception. Combine the weather with the fact that Jason had to work, it didn't really hit me that it was a holiday until we started hearing the boom and crackle of fireworks. Or as we call them, firecrackers. We had a family friend's daughter ( Brookie Bear ! ) spend then night and she and Jackson sat on our back porch with wide eyes, swatting at mosquitos. Jackson liked the "firecracks" as long as he had his ears covered. He was worried Cooper might be scared ( such a sweet big brother ), but I assured him that he was zonked out in his nice safe crib. We had pizza and ice cream and played indoor soccer. Soccer in Jackson terms is basically keep away, as long as Jackson always has the ball. Brooke was a good sport! The rain has held off today so maybe some of our law-breaking neighbors will give us another show tonight.
