Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July weekend! Two of my sisters just moved to Utah so we got to hang out with them. One of them is living in Logan so we went up there to celebrate. The kids were so excited to see their cousins that they hadn't seen since November. (Yes they still remember them)
Here they are at the Lewiston, UT parade, there were a ton of people so they didn't get to fill their bags up to the top, but they got plenty of candy! It was a great parade! This is my sister Brianne that lives in Logan. Her youngest daughter Claire is 10 months old and looks bigger than Morgan.
Jason and my brother in law Brian(lives in Price, UT) just being party poopers during the parade, jks!
Morgan looks very excited to be attending the parade! She is such a trooper!

Cassie, Henry and Katelyn had a ton of fun on this ride. They put their hands up at the top and got wicked butterflies as it came down. It was really cute watching them have so much fun and being big kids!
We had a little tramatic experience why'll we were at my sisters house. We lost Henrys blanket for quite a while. I don't know who was more worried about it, Henry or mom! We ended up finding it hours later in a toy that Uncle Nate had taken away from the kids earlier that day because they had been fighting over it. Yipee for finding it! Can't go anywhere without that blankie!



Jason, Brian, and Nate having a ton of fun playing with fire! They had a good time acting like boys again! We just watched on the sidelines, waiting for an accident to happen!
It was fun watching the kids as the fireworks were going off. One of them made a big BOOM sound and this is what Katelyn and Dylan immediately did. Too cute!
Henry absolutely loved playing with his cousins! He asks to go to their house every day! It is going to be so much fun having them so close to us now. They used to live in Michigan and Chicago, so I can handle a couple hour drive, no problem!

Happy Canada Day!

For all of you Americans that don't know a thing about Canada(you know who you are) it was our day yesterday! That's right, we don't have all the same holidays as you Americans.
It has been a long time since I haven't taken my kids up to Canada for the big July 1st celebration. Katelyn woke up yesterday morning acting all sad because she was going to miss the parade and the kid races. I laughed at her because she was being silly! I made us all wear Canada clothes or colors and some of you mocked me(he he), but 'I'm proud to be Canadian!' I had to take a couple of pictures of the kids, although Katelyn was at dance at the time so she didn't get any pictures. I thought they were pretty cute. I had to water my neighbors flowers so I took advantage of her cute backyard for a photo shoot. The one of Henry and Morgan was my fav. Too cute, eh?
