My most favorite holiday







As long as I can remember the 4th of July has been my favorite holiday. I love the colors, the parades, the BBQ's, the fireworks. My childhood is full of awesome memories of the 4th in small town USA(Buhl). It lasted several days with street fairs, the coolest parade ever, a fish scramble, tons of games, yummy food and top it off, laying in the grass watching the fireworks fall above your head. Sadly I haven't been back to enjoy the 4th in Buhl for 10 years, but I will one day return for the festivities. This year we were in Utah with Jr's family. We went to the Sandy parade where my niece Anna and I got really into the parade. We got something from ever float in the parade, including candy, a water bottle, chicken nuggets, a soda, tons of coupons and a cowboy hat that I almost got ran over getting, totally had so much fun. We took Kiesha to her 1st parade, she did really good we thought she would freak out, she even fell asleep for a bit.

Mt. Timpanogas







Jr and I took a morning and went to hike to Mt. Timpanogas. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was nice and it was great exercise. It took us almost an hour to get to the cave, not to shabby. I made a mistake and forgot to bring Jr a sweatshirt so it was a little cold in the caves(43degrees). Sorry Honey! The caves are amazing, all the cool rock formations. We had a great tour
guide, she had a cute sense of humor and she really knew alot
about the caves history.

Girls Weekend










I went to Utah with my Mom, Grandma and 2 sister inlaws for
a girls weekend. We went on the tour of the new Oquirrh Mountain
Utah Temple, very beautiful temple. A couple of weeks ago
the Angel Moroni was struck by lightning and his head,
arm and trumpet are charred, so needless to
say he will be getting a makeover! We visited the gardens at
Thanksgiving Point, if you haven't had a chance to go walk
around and see them, you really need to, they are amazing.
We went and got pampered with a pedicure. We attended
a baby shower for Amy, and visited with family. It was a
jam packed, and very fun weekend.
