HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!


We had a great 4th this year. Every year our ward gets together for breakfast in the morning. We have musical numbers, which were wonderful. We also had a patriotic message about the Declaration of Independence and our freedom. Then we eat, visit and the kids play.




Taylore has a friend already. Her name is Peyton and they are 4 weeks apart. Taylore is older. They get so excited to see each other. It's so cute.


After breakfast we invited a few friends over to bar-b-que and swim at my parents house. They had to work so we used their house. I didn't get any pics cause I was busy making food and running after Taylore. We had a great time though.


After swimming we then went to the park to watch the fire works. If you go early enough you get a great seat and the kids get to run around and play and the adults get to chat. It's great!


We usually sit with the ward right by the fireworks so we have a great view. Peyton's mom Kari did some face painting which was a great hit.



They tested the fireworks before it got dark and they weren't very loud and Taylore loved it. When it came time for the real stuff, she screamed the whole time until Brian stood up with her and then she was ok. But before that she was pointing up to the sky like "where did they go?"



All together it was a great night. We were with friends. Our family had to work and some weren't feeling well, but we still had a great time. I think it took our minds off of a not so good week. It's monsoon season right now so we're lucky that we only got sprinkled on. Here are just some random pics. I hope everyone had a great Independence Day!
