4th of July

We're backtracking a bit because I didn't have time to post about our 4th of July week before we went on a 2 week trip. Our close friends from Texas came to stay with us and we couldn't soak up enough time with them! We love them Wises! Chris was Rick's college roommate so that's how I know his wife, Sarah, and I adore their family. Wish we lived closer.

I love how kids can become instant best friends. This is the first day they hung out. We just relaxed in the backyard and played in the sun. Madison, Keira, Lexi, and Jaxon is the one wearing the "helmet". Funny thing is, K&L both wear those buckets on their heads, too. Love it.

Lexi is obsessed with babies. Glad she got to hang with cutie Colton. Love those cheeks!
LOVE MY SARAH!
We started our 4th of July celebration at our first Stadium of Fire ever! Brad Paisley was great, but my favorite part was the awesome fireworks show! Thanks Wise's! Loved it!


On the 4th of July we went to another parade, which I realized quickly, was almost exactly like the one we had seen a week before. Of course, this time we were with friends :) There were some added floats and such so the kids still loved it. This was after the parade madness.
Who wants ice cream?
Got some more carnival time in. Luckily I got Lexi's smile on camera. She loved this ride, but you wouldn't know it by her usual blank face.Lunch and ice cream at The Creamery.We finished our fun 4th with tinfoil dinners up the canyon. It's starting to become an almost weekly activity! Can't get enough of those tinfoil dinners!

A day at the lake is always a must so we headed up to Eden to borrow Gramma Judy and Grampa Steve's boat for one day. It rained on and off, but the girls love going FAST. Keira loved sitting in the front of the boat to get the blunt of the rain. She is fearless!

7 peaks water park. Cute kids!
Miss you guys already!
