Fourth of July!

All American! I love this girl!
I have yet to get a picture with everyone looking at me and smiling!
Its the best we can do!

What a weekend! This year grandpa invited the boys to sleep out for the parade. We are big parade lovers and the boys were so excited for the night out! That evening, we were able to get keys to BYU's gymnasium-YIPPEE! who doesn't jump on that chance (literally)!
They loved the foam pits!

Grandpa had scouted out the best spot! Lots of shade for the morning. The boys were up all night long playing football and Frisbee, and watching the motorcycles cruise University! Pizza was delivered to their spot and plenty of candy and popcorn to keep everyone on a sugar high! Finally around 1:45 am they got everyone settled into their sleeping bags under the stars, just in time for the surprise thunder and lightening storm complete with a raging downpour of rain. Everyone huddled under the tarps and battened everything down. Tyler was not impressed and wanted to go to Grandmas for the rest of the night. (Later he told me Dad paid him five bucks to woose out on the camp out!) All in all some great memories made! Thanks Grandpa for the fun night and great seats for the morning!

We love the parade and spending time with cousins!




High fiving the missionaries
As if the little rain at the beginning of the parade wasn't enough, here we are getting soaked. Lucky for us the parade had stalled with this float stuck in front of us.
Tyler's highlight-letting off the cannon at the end of the parade!
Later that night, we went to Iggy's for dinner. Funny thing everyone ordered Italian!?!
We love chips and Salsa

Two thumbs up from Ty
More hanging out with cousins, more fireworks, more fun!



Of course, we always sneak down to the Stadium of Fire to enjoy the fireworks right above us!

I just had an idea.. Provo should have a parade where only the missionaries walk around and high five everyone, that was seriously SERIOUSLY the only good part of the parade. That and the night before. Love you Kelly you have a pretty great and pretty darn good family!

So glad you are back posting! Looks like you have been busy this summer. I always love to see pictures of your cute family. I haven't seen your parents in YEARS!! Looks like a grand time. Theres nothing quite like the 4th of July. Especially those with roots in Provo. I love that little Lucy!
