Brace Face No More

 Woohoo....the big day has finally arrived for the kids to get their braces off.  They got them on at the end of September and by mid July it was time to remove them and we couldn't of been happier to see how great they looked.

Before and After

Before and After

Now we wear our retainers and wait a couple more years for phase two.

4th of July 2020

 The 4th of July is always a big community holiday.  There is the neighborhood parade, then everyone heads over to the community pool for swimming and BBQing and at the end of the night we all meet up on the large grassy field to watch the four local firework shows.  Thanks to Covid 19 (going on four months now), none of the community activities occurred.  We still made the best of it and did a smaller version of all of it.  

The kids started the morning with their own little bike ride around the neighborhood.

Then we headed over to the Rossitto's house for a BBQ and slip and slide.

The sugar soda drinks were an added plus for the kids.

Skylar and Sophie created a flag pizza.

Not quite sure what was going on here..haha!

We ended up lighting off our own fireworks in the middle of the street while the kids had sparklers. 

It wasn't the 4th that we are use to, but we still have a really nice time with our close friends.
