God Bless The USA.

I am proud to be an American. 4th of July has always been one of those holidays as a kid that I remember picnics, fireworks, and family time, I never really understood until I got alittle bit older. Now I truly understand the 4th and what it means to me and the country. We are free, but freedom was not free. I am just so thankful for this country and the freedom we have. Earlier today I got a text and in that text it stated parts of The Declaration of Independence.

...We hold these truths to be self-evidend, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness...

4th of July nails!

started off the day with the breakfast for Champions!

Never a dull moment!

digging in!

mi madre y yo!

Nothing says the 4th like homemade vanilla ice cream and funfetti cookies!

Thanks Tate for the sweet treats!

what a relaxing day...patriotic music and a good Karen Kingsbury book!

what a meal!

pork chops, corn, a side ceasar salad, and bread dipped in oil! yummy!

ice cream and patriotic oreos top of the wonderful meal!

some back porch watching of the fireworks!

LOVE!

Finished off the day with Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, Boston Pop's Firework Spectacular, and sitting on the back porch watching the fire works around me. So thankful for the country I live in!

Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
