The kids loved throwing the "poppers."
Kash liked the sparklers, but that was about it. He was terrified of the fireworks. He would run and hide in the garage and every now and then we would see him peaking around the bushes!
Here you can see him keeping his distance.
Ella on the other hand is a little pyro like her Dad! She wanted to be right up in the action at all times. 
The first firework that Matt did wasn't going off so he ran up and kicked it and ended up burning his flip flop to his skin! Smart, right? We were all laughing watching him jump around yelling. Luckily it just burned his callous off so he wasn't sore the next day.
Ryan and Whit
These 2 could light fireworks every night and never get sick of it.
Ella and Kash love Uncle Ry Ry.
Pure delight watching the show...and the red mustache is awesome!
This is the part where I literally almost peed my pants-which isn't hard to do these days:) Matt and Ryan had a Roman Candle fight! Here they are in their goggles before the fight...
You can see the fireworks are horizontal as they shot at each other.
Ryan taking aim..Matt had burn marks on his shirt afterward!
Matt going after Ryan...
I couldn't stop laughing and Whitney couldn't stop screaming! It was good entertainment.
Once the fireworks were over Kash ventured out of the house again. He was happiest riding his little car with no loud noises going off. 
The kids got to sit on the dirt bikes for a while which they thought was pretty cool. 
Ella sang, "I'm proud to be an American" for us which ended our night perfectly.

What a cool holiday!!!!! Your husband is NUTS!!!!
The 4th is my favorite holiday! It sounds like your holiday was perfect! LOL
Ask Buddy about the time when I was little and we were doing fireworks in front of Grandma's house. Buddy was lighting some fireworks in his hand and then would throw them in the air right at the last second before they blew up. Well being the great uncle he is he decided he would let me try it. Unfortunatley a 7 year old probably isn't as quick as an 18 year old and I didn't get it out of my hand in time and it blew up in my hand. Nothing serious happened thank goodness just a burn, but just letting you know for future references DON'T LEAVE YOUR HUSBAND ALONE WITH YOUR KIDS AND FIREWORKS hahaha!
I was laughing so hard going through your pictures of the Roman Candle fight! Crazy boys!!! Your kids are so adorable. They are growing up so fast! I love keeping up with your blog!
