Fourth of July Fireworks :: Summer 2016

Jefferson City, MO did not disappoint at this years fireworks show!  It's such a beautiful site, seeing the fireworks light up the sky over the Missouri River and the Capital.  Really breathtaking.  So proud to be an American!  #homeofthefreebecauseofthebrave

Fourth of July :: Summer 2016

Our tradition of taking the boys photos on the tree lined driveway at Ryan's Grandmothers home was completed again this year. I am so thankful that we have a beautiful place to capture these moments.

As I was editing them late the other night, I had a moment of ... wow, the boys look like this?  When you see them every moment of every day, you don't notice the small changes.  I can't believe how grown up they are getting.  These strong, loving, and caring boys are growing up before my eyes, and I am so proud of the young men they are becoming.

Breaden has begun to love photography, the first two photos are ones that he took himself ... not too bad!

Pampered Mom's Easy Peasy Fruit Crisp Recipe

We still have the Fourth on our minds here in the Imhoff Household, but I couldn't help but share this super easy dessert that I make YEAR ROUND!  Obviously these ones below are made for the Fourth of July, but just by changing the recipe, you can adapt this sweet treat for just about any holiday or season!

 

For Summer ::  Peach

Fall :: Apples

Winter :: Cranberry or Cherry

Spring :: Mixed Berry [shown below]

The Crisp:

2 parts bisquick

1 part sugar

1 part melted butter

* mix together *



Add Fresh Fruit to any dish and sprinkle with sugar to get the juices flowing, cover with crisp in patches or shapes.  For Apples, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar instead!

Fourth of July 2015

Words cannot describe how happy I am that we come back to Missouri every year for the Fourth of July.  There is something about "coming home" and being surrounded by family and friends on my favorite holiday that melts my heart!

 

There is this tree-lined driveway across from Ryan's Grandma's house [where we stay] and I always try to snap a few photos while we're there.  I LOVED the lighting, I love how sweet these two were that day and I am in awe how Braeden can pick up my camera and take a few photos as well!

 

My sweet, sweet boys.

Happy Birthday America!

This year we decided to shoot off our own fireworks, it was Epic!  The kids thought this was seriously the coolest 4th yet!
