the baby patriot

it's the day of our country's independence! 

we had some plans but they fell through.

but it's alright.  brett had the day off and staying at home sounded just fine.  as long as i have good food and my boys with me, it's a perfect holiday.

last night my cousin kim, her husband, will, and their ADORABLE son, landon stopped by and it was so great to catch up and to see how much landon has grown.

and did these two boys work together to make a mess.  seriously so cute.

then later on that night brett and i took everton to the drive in to watch what else, the AVENGERS!!!

love love love that movie.

and on this beautiful 4th of july we started with blueberry breakfast cake that everton lovingly helped me with.

recipe can be found here.

and it was delightful.

then after everton's nap it was time for a little caldwell cookout.

these, my friends, are filipino barbecued pork shish-kabobs.  nothing like celebrating your country's independence than eating foreign food.  i marinated these darlings for two days and they were AMAZINGGG.  don't look too close though, i should've cut them smaller cuz they look a little bit like worms.  but i told you, don't look so close. 

we also had grilled potatoes and kool aid.

then everton and i chillaxed outside while brett watched his texas rangers get beat at baseball.  sorry honey.

everton caldwell here to let you know that i'm proud to be a 'mercan.

and to show my pride, imma shake it like a salt shaker for you.
