The 4th of July- Actually the 3rd

*Warning: Lots of pictures*

Our day began with a good ol' breakfast at Cracker Barrell. Yum! After we made our way up to the Lakewood 4th of July Parade. They had lots of things to look at, fun things to do, and yummy treats. It was really wonderful. Our first stop was the bald eagle. It was rather close and oh so beautiful! Nissa was a little bit scared, but still thought it was cool.


Next stop- Make beaded bracelets. Little Nissa loves making bracelets, she was in heaven.

Making a bowl. She concentrated so hard and made a beautiful heart bowl.

Busy hands at work. Her hands looked so delicate and graceful. Her hands remind me of ballet hands. Beautiful!

Our next adventure for the day was the Rockies Game!

We arrived to the game in style.

Our seats were in the Rock Pile, which is up there, but one advantage to having seats here was that we were able to go onto the field for the fireworks.

Nissa and her cute little friend Kendal. We went with our friends the Weights and had a wonderful time. Thanks guys!

The fireworks were fantastic, the game was fun, and the company was awesome. We had a great 4th of July weekend.

Kat's Blessing Day

On Sunday, June 6th we blessed sweet baby Kat. Jordan gave her a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful that Jordan is a worthy priesthood holder, so that he could give such a sweet blessing. A special thanks to my mom for making Kat her beautiful blessing dress. She is such a talented person, I love her and love the dress that she designed for Kat's special day. Kat looked stunning it! Thanks mom!Sweet baby Kat

Thanks to everyone who shared this wonderful day with us. It was fun to come back home and see everyone. We are so grateful for our wonderful families. We love you all.

P.S. Thanks for letting us have our little party at my parent's home. It was beautiful!

Happy Graduation

My little brother, Christian graduated from Murray High School while we were visiting, so we were able to go watch him walk. We are so happy for you Christian. We love you!
