The 4th of July!

The kids and I were lucky enough to go back to Utah for the 4th of July! We had a great time. If you have not been to Provo for the 4th of July you need to try it! It is the best place to be during this time of year.

The festivities started out with watching the hot air balloons rise. There are so many, it is really fun to watch. We had to get up early to see them but it was worth it!

Cadence and Easton!

That night we went to the fair at the court house on Center Street. The kids had a blast riding the "Tornado" ride. They got it to spin really fast! We were all surprised they didn't get sick!



Cadence and Easton got balloon hats and a bow and arrow! What lucky kids!


The next morning, the 4th of July, we went to the Provo parade. I have gone every year since i can remember. I loved it then and my kids love it now!

My cute parents again!
Then that night we went, as usual, to the lawn in front of the Provo Temple to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks. I think this is my kids favorite part of the 4th!
This is my nephew Spencer. We never get pictures of him so I had to post this one!
This is my nephew Gavin!

I got the kids glow sticks. This is a kind-of cool picture I got of Cadence playing with them!

We had a great trip! It was fun to be back in Provo. I have never been away from Provo for this long! I loved our time back "home" and so did the kids!

Me and My Best Friend

While I was in Utah for the 4th of July, my best friend Emily's little sister Sarah took some pictures of us. Here is my favorite one from her blog. Sarah is such a sweetheart and great at photography! Check out her blog of pictures! http://bellepetitephoto.blogspot.com/
