4th of July!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!! We had a really nice day. My friend Shay and I took Danielle and Hayden to a parade up north. It was fun, but really hot and it got very crowded. We enjoyed shaved ice, mini donuts and the candy that was thrown at us from the peeps in the parade. I think this will be a great tradition to look forward to each year. After the parade we came home for naps, then headed over to Shay and Thads for a BBQ with the Crovos! It was so nice to be in good company and watch the girls get SUPER excited about the fireworks the dad's were setting off. Thanks Shay, Thad and Hayden for having us over, we had a blast!

Last week Kim and the girls came to visit! It was so nice and hot, a perfect day to play in the water. We blew up our new pool and also went to the sprinkler park. We didn't last long there because everyone from town was there... it was super busy!! We just came home and had fun in the pool.
