A beautiful 4th of July

We had such a great 4th of July and have tons of pictures to document our day!

We started off the day with our family tradition, the Rexburg Parade.  I LOVE PARADES!  I am one of those people who dance, wave and cheer for each and every float that goes by...I seriously love every second!
As soon as I saw that flag tears began to stream down my face...I really take for granted that country that we live in, but I am SO thankful for that beautiful flag to remind me just how lucky we are!


Kai loves parades but HATES loud noises...hahaha!


Little Avery slept through most of the parade...SHOCKING...because it was SO loud!

Aren't they the cutest? It was so fun to have the Elders in the parade, and they looked so happy to be there!

After the parade we went to the Turner's to have an amazing BBQ and tons of fun laughter!  Avery and Kai were spoiled with hugs and attention and WE were spoiled with a break :)

Our little fish, LOVED the pool, he jumped in before we could even get him changed! Thanks Ellie for sharing!



I seriously am OBSESSED with this girl!  Markie is so much fun and we always DIE laughing while we are together! Thank heavens they will be moving to Cali soon enough~

Ha ha, I love them!  This is the face you get when you tell Kai, "Smile Kai. Show me your teeth."

LOVE...TRUUE LOVE ;)
Watching the airplanes go by.


Brit, Andrew, Tristan, Markie and Little Ellie...it really couldn't get any better!

This fireworks party was SOOO funny! When they first started Kai was obsessed..I mean he was cheering and laughing and pointing...BUT THENNNNN.....


The loud fireworks began and he was NOT HAPPY.  He screamed all through each one and would yell "ALL DONE" as soon as they were finished.  We thought we may be ruining the party so then we called it a night and went home to put our sleepy boy to bed :)

Thankfully Logan and I live right in the middle of all these single mens apartments because they put on quite the show for us to watch right out our back door~

After a long 4th of partying I cannot keep this boy awake today...he brought all of his blankets out of his room and fell asleep in the middle of the living room.  This is definitely a first, and I am totally taking advantage of it :)

I hope you all had an safe and amazing fourth everyone!

  2. 1. You look like a model in that pic of you at the parade. Ridiculously hot.

    2. Love Kai's festive jammies.

    3. If I don't get to hold my niece-poo soon I am going to get angry.

    4. Me angry is almost as bad as Kai with loud fireworks. Consider yourself warned.

    5. Loves. When are you coming home again?
