4th of July...

We are finally home from Vacations and I feel like I can finally get back to normal life and get my blog updated! I feel like we have been gone forever. We had a great time on all vacations but I am glad to be home for awhile and get back into somewhat of a routine! so first to update on my blog is the 4th of July! This is one of my favorite holidays, I think it's because I love the colors but I also am a fan of parades and fireworks! I took the kids to 2 parades this year, first one... The centerville parade (travis didn't come with us to this one,  he was working on the house) the kids loved this parade and came home with tons of candy, Ella's bag of candy was one sticky mess, they were all unwrapped, some were sucked on and put back, others were chewed on and put back :)






 I decide that most parades are for advertisement these days, but the few floats we did see were awesome and this one was my favorite!
Next on our holiday weekend, we got together with my whole family on Sunday night for a BBQ and fireworks, it was lots of fun and so fun to finally have my parents around for these events. 
















Next  we went to the Kaysville parade, this one was crazy, there were way too many people at this one but we finally found a place to sit and enjoy the parade.
 2 of my cute nieces were in this parade one is a D'ette and the other a centennial Junior High cheerleader..


 there was not as much as candy in this parad and my boys were quite dissappointed..




That night we went up to the Shupe's for a BBQ and more fireworks, Travis had a lot of fun with the aerial fireworks this year...









 Brig is a little scared of fireworks so he watched from the inside...

WE had a great 4th of July and we are so grateful to live in this country and have the freedoms that we enjoy everyday!!
