Happy Fourth of July!!!

I bet you thought I would never post again. It has been a few weeks. We have been busy playing with friends and enjoying summer.

This weeked was the 4th of July. My 2nd favorite holiday!! I love all the BBQ, fireworks and family fun. Our fun started on Thursday with the Riverton City Carnival. Jacob and Joshua rode the scrambler over and over. The kids had fun.





On Friday, it was the parade. We sat with some friends, the Allgaiers, and Hendricksons. We had fun. I love to sit and watch parades.



Saturday we stayed around the house and John got some odd jobs done. Then we set up the waterslide and it was soooo hot outside that John and I even joined in the fun. We had quite a few neighbors over as well.




After the waterslide we went to the Riverton Fireworks. We love their fireworks. They do a good job. This year, John got us an AWESOME!!! seat. We were right in front of where they shoot the fireworks off. In the video you can even see the caution tape. You could feel the vibration of the firworks blasts on your back as you laid on the ground. It was so awesome.




Today we woke up and we rode our bikes inthe neighborhood parade. My kids love this parade.

Then we went up to Timpanogos and hiked upto the caves and through the caves. It was fun. Wyatt did such a good job of walking. He made it almost to the top until we were almost there and then their came a huge rock slide and that scared him to death. There were like three rockslides right after each other. It was kind of scary. The caves were cool. We had a good time.





We then went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. They gave Gluten Free dishes and we had free kids meal coupons. It was fun.

We have had a great fourth of July.

Pinewood Derby and Joshua's eight Birthday

Well, the Pinewood derby was Wedensday night and because Joshua turned eight the next day they let him participate. Wooohoo. He loved it. He and Jacob made their cars and had a great time racing them.



Then Roland flew in that night so Andrea, Serena and our families and Roland went to Applebee's for dessert to chat. It was good to catch up with Roland.

The next day my Joshua turned eight years old. I can't believe that he is old enough to be baptized. He was so excited. We woke up that morning and he opened his presents. He got to hand out treats at school and after school he had a friend come to play and he even stayed for dinner. And of course, he had to have Pokemon cupcakes for his cake. Joshua had an awesome day. I love you Joshua.
