We took a short trip to St. George with my sister Ciara a few weekends ago. Always so fun to be with cousins. We took the kids to the temple to see where we were both married. It was so beautiful. We also took the kids hiking up on the sugar loaf. Tried to be the heat, but it was still scorching at 9:30 am. So, we spent a lot of the time at the pool too.
Hey I think I might be going private with my family blog within the next week or two. If you want an invite, please let me know by leaving your email as a comment. Thanks.
We started out our 4th of July celebration early in the morning meeting the Palmers at the Provo Parade! Rushed home just in time to have lunch & take Mom to the airport. We then took a drive out to Day Break to look around and play at the parks. Ended the day with some friends (the Avarells and Bells) at Thanksgiving Point hanging out and watching some awesome fireworks.
We only got to watch half of the big parade. My kids were a little bored with the "pre-parade", but Kate was excited for anything. Even people randomly riding rollerblades around. She kept telling Ava, "Look you're missing the parade."

Callie, you were a trooper. I had you in pj's and ready for bed, but you were so happy and stayed up the whole time. You surprisingly weren't scared of the fireworks.

Drake you started getting a little freaked out as the sparkler got closer to your hand.
I have so many good things to post about, but I'll start off with the most exciting news. Here is the newest member of our family. My little sister had her first baby June 6, 2011. We met up in Southern Utah last weekend for the baby blessing. Erin, you are a beautiful mom and Cannon is one lucky little boy to have you and Kyle as parents.
