4th of July!



Being a parent, holidays are even more meaningful and fun! Having Sienna now, I realize even more how important it is to make memories, spend time with family and keep and develop traditions. And I also think a lot about the future holidays as Sienna grows and our family grows.

4th of July is one of those holidays! What a fun holiday for kids and families! The Molina tradition is a big family BBQ by the pool, doesn't get better than that! Aunt Sara and Uncle Mark come up for the weekend to join us, it was awesome to see them again after only one week!

Sienna went in the pool with Daddy and Lolly and just loved it, kicking and playing around. I don't think she wanted to get out, but we could tell she was getting cold! We had tons of great food (poppers, BBQ'd oysters, ribs, sausage, tri-tip, sallie's salsa, dips, grilled garlic and onions, etc. etc.) I made red and blue jello shots and we played games. Sienna had fun seeing everyone, being passed around and cruising around in her stroller. Shasta and Ozzy had fun swimming to cool off, running around, and begging for food. We also had fireworks (safe and sane ones at least) and Sienna was all about them! She didn't nap much all day, you could tell she didn't want to miss anything! When we got home, Sara and I walked to the end of our street to see the fireworks at Barney Schwartz Park. What a fun day!!
