That's funny for me to say "Happy Belated Independence Day" but it's so true... I've been so busy that I can't keep up on my posts. It's not like me to not be on top of it - but wow I just can't keep up. Did I say that, oh my I did...... (LOL) but I try to keep truckin.............. I guess it's better to keep yourself busy than not, to feel that rush and stress all the time that you have too much to get done!
So I've included 2 sets of events but figured they go hand in hand. The 4th of July celebration and the US Navy Sky Divers.. I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July holiday weekend! Ours was awesome..... We went boating all day (Slacker on not posting pic's yet) then we watched the firework show at our St George Park. Fantastic show this year! Also some photos of the US Navy Skydiver show we experienced at Country Jam :) They had the national anthem singing live while they held the american flag skydiving! AMAZING........ I had chills the whole time
A little History for Kassidee & Maddison.
Independence Day in the U.S., is an annual holiday commemorating the formal adoption by the Continental Congress of the
Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia. Although the signing of the Declaration was not completed until August, the Fourth of July holiday has been accepted as the official anniversary of U.S. independence and is celebrated in all states and territories of the U.S.The holiday was first observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, at which time the Declaration of Independence was read aloud, city bells rang, and bands played. It was not declared a legal holiday, however, until 1941. The Fourth is traditionally celebrated publicly with parades and pageants, patriotic speeches, and organized firing of guns and cannons and displays of fireworks; early in the 20th century public concern for a "safe and sane" holiday resulted in restrictions on general use of fireworks. Family picnics and outings are a feature of private Fourth of July celebrations.
Once upon a time July 9, 2000 @ 2:03PM a little baby girl was born named Kassidee Laurie Wood, weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and 18 inches long - One of the BEST DAY'S of our life! It was the most amazing experience delivering my first born. I was in hard labor for 3 hours, and I felt every ounce of pain. Yes I went natural but it was well worth it................ I've been called crazy, but I have no regrets! I had alot of love, happiness, joy and fullfillment in my life at that given moment she came into this world and it grows deaper every day - even more with her blooming into a beautiful young little girl who turned 8 years old today... I can't believe how time has just flown by - Kassidee is an amazing little girl - she touches everyones hearts in own her little way! I have lots of many wonderful memories and good times with Kassidee in her 8 years of age and look forward to many more to come! Kassidee is such a BIG sweatheart. Very artistic!! So soft hearted, kind, very loving, dependable, helpful, independent, strong willed - she has a very sensitive but powerful personality... Kassidee is also very protective, sympathetic, changeable, and many more great qualities. Her sign significantly tells her well :)
I am VERY PROUD to be Kassidee's mother! She was put on this earth to do many great things and I am honored to be the parent that gets to enjoy watching. I have created a slideshow of some fantastic photos of Kassidee over these precious 8 years! I hope you enjoy them as I do :)
