July 4, 2009...Happy 4th of July!


This 4th of July was a lot busier than usual....that morning I helped sell fireworks, like I try and do every year, to earn money for gym classes, my friend Melanie got married and I was the photographer, and we hosted a bbq and fireworks at our house!


Melanie amd Jay's wedding was beautiful. They had a very intimate ceremony at Kopachek State Park, just past Gig Harbor, WA. There were lots of family and friends there to wish them well :)

The cake, complete with cupcakes for the kids....the "Little People" cake on top played "Here comes the bride"

After the wedding, I headed home to our family fireworks.....got there just in time for it to turn dark. Next year, our city might have a ban on fireworks, so we squeezed it in one last time at our house...Tom's parents, his sister, Jeanette and her family, and my parents were there to help celebrate.
