Lightlife Veggie sausage
The people at Lightlife sent me several coupons to try out their products so I picked up some of their Veggie sausage for the hubby. He loved it! He said it was very filling and he actually left about 1/4 of the breakfast patty because he couldn’t finish it.
The hubby's breakfast
My breakfast- raw chocolate icecream!
As always, it was pretty gross
I made my famous chocolate chip cookies
My sister made this gorgeous cake - I got the picture after the heat got to it oops :)
Fresh Fruit
and watermelon- fave summer fruit YUM!
I didn’t get a picture of the veggie tray- but there was plenty of raw foods! I had about 4 slices of watermelon, raw veggies and some fruit.
My brother Phillip
We brought cuppycakes- devoured by the kids within seconds

My niece Brooke is such a cutie!

We saved the melon rinds to feed the pig, Wilbur- he LOVED them!

Me feeding Wilbur
Me & Wilbur - he's lookng at the camera!
When we were little, we lived in the country on a farm and had chickens and a pig named Wilbur. I remember us kids feeding him all of the time and spraying him down with the water hose only for him to go back and roll around in the mud- pigs just naturally like to be dirty. Wilbur used to always escape from his cage and we’d have to chase him- I wish we had pictures- it was a HILARIOUS sight to behold!
I also saved the corn cobs & veggies for Wilbur
enjoying the sun & watching the boys play badminton
My brother Timmy & nephew Jonah
The boys found a water moccasin ewww!!
and my brother tried to make out with it haha just j/k
Jeffery with his sparkler
Getting ready for the firework show!
They were WAY more beautiful and big than this- but I couldn't get a good picture! :(
It's about that time- everyone was getting tired
My sister sent me home with lots of goodies!!
The July 4th Party at my sisters was a blast! It was so nice to just get away from the house and do something fun besides work! We played volleyball, badminton, fed Wilbur and had several water balloon fights! The kids had fun skateboarding on the ramp and the fireworks were fabulous! They were like professional fireworks, the best one my brother bought in N.C. was called “Loud and Rowdy” it was pretty awesome! We all hung out until about 11 a.m. then everyone was ready to go home. It was a great party 
How fun! Just saw your blog on the LaraBar website!
What a fun day! I’m glad you enjoyed it… My parents have a huge (non operating) farm but they won’t get a pig… I’ve been begging for it though!
