This 4th of July we were celebrating more than just our freedom and independence…we were celebrating the fact that David has finished studying and taking the DAT (Dental admissions test). We celebrated both occasions by eating some of our favorite finger foods, (David- buffalo wings, Me- spinach artichoke dip, the kids- taquitos) David also made the traditional yummy homemade Ice cream and last but not least…FIREWORKS!!
We made the kids Sherley Temples with Sprite and Cherrie syrup. They loved them! Riley wanted to get a little more patriotic by adding blue food coloring to his. :)

This year the flavor of homemade ice-cream was ‘cookies and cream’. David makes the creamiest ice cream. Here is his recipe:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 pint ½ and ½
2 cups of whipping cream.
2 tsp vanilla extract
Blend together and pour into ice cream maker. Add oreos (we just break them in ½ the ice cream maker crunches them more) then fill with whole milk to the fill line. The rest is history!
After dinner we went out to the back porch and threw “snaps” those little exploding things that you throw on the ground. It was so funny watching Maddy trying to squash them with her little feet. Keagan and Riley also had fun pulling the strings on the confetti bombs. Good fun had by all. At about 8pm we headed over to the church to watch the fireworks. I love the fact that Kingman has always had such great fireworks!
