A day we honor our countrymen!

It's become family tradition with the Klare's to party hard on the fourth of July! Off to the parade early in the morning
Hey Grandma, Lauren and Uncle Kevin!Papaw and Ole Man Klare. heeheee ;)
Some of my favorites from the parade

Only in Kentucky...
We could be sisters :)

A huge highlight to our Fourth of July is we were visited by three of our most favorite people in the world. Don, Chris' long time friend is serving our country and will soon be shipped off to Afghanistan for a year. He is married to the most wonderfuly lady and mom. They have a son Henry (Chris' Godson) and expecting their second in January. We are so blessed and fortunate to have men like Don serve our country and have the outlook on life the way he does. He is such a dear friend and a true hero in all our hearts! Please keep this family and especially Don in your prayers as he leaves this month for duty. God Bless you Don and Thank you!
You are certainly not only your son's hero but ours too!
