We decided to start our 4th of July with some fun news... in the form of a firecracker! I used a Crystal Light container and some Dollar Tree accents to throw together our little TNT... Baby #3! We slipped our message inside for family to randomly open! It was fun to watch and we were glad that everyone was receptive... you never know with the more children you have! Regardless of anyone else, Mike and the kids and I are completely jazzed and are praying for a healthy baby! This is the earliest we've shared the news, but the baby belly grows quicker with each pregnancy and I knew this one would be hard to keep concealed!
Baby #3 had his or her first ultrasound on July 1, 2010 and had quite the stealthy heartbeat! Due date is February 22, 2011... give or take! :)
We then followed up with some traditional 4th of July fun! Addie was quick to show off her "cutie dress" from Grammie Eggie!
Then, she shed her sweater top and played ball with Pam...

Addie couldn't resist lending a hand!
Then, it was almost firework time! Blake and Pam scope out some early starters!
Then Addie gets cozy with Abuelita!
She manages to move along to Cousin Arianna shortly afterwards... to sport her "cheese face" of course!
Finally, it's time to double-team Pam!
Before we knew it, it was firework time! The kids did FANTASTIC with the fireworks! Grandpa Orozco let them be "setters" and then had them run back to the bench while he lit them! They couldn't get enough... especially of one called "The Koo-Koo Fountain"... they still talk about it depending upon the day! The name was enough to capture their hearts! :)
Sparklers were of course a hit too... with some family photos to follow... 
Definitely a special 4th of July! I don't think I'll ever forget how the kids' faces lit-up and how their excitement over-ran their tired eyes! 
Baby #3 might have Uncle Justin's birthday.
