4th of July

We had a great 4th of July.  We decided to stay in West Jordan this year again and made some changes from last year that made it even better.

Here is our fireworks celebration.  The kids loved the sparklers and we all loved the parachute guys.  We shoot them up, then the kids run and try to catch them. (Kate pink, Scott blue, Austin orange)

Scott running in for a hug, I love him!

We went to the parade early to save a spot.  We set up our canopy, then Kate and I went pretty early and hung out.  We each brought books, snacks, and some cards.  Then Ryan, Malece, and kids showed up and we all just hung out, then watched the parade. (Scott on the chair, Austin on Ashley's lap)

The whole crew

That afternoon, we had a swimming party.  We set up the big pool and the little pool for Ty.  Jeff and I even got in.

Ty was much happier to hang out outside of the water.

Squirt gun fight, all the kids were after Daddy.

At the end of the night, these three are best buddies.  (Scott, Austin, Kate)

Happy Birthday America!!
