4th of July!!

Well we made it back to Idaho Falls for the 4th this year and had a great time. Ben unfortunately had to work all weekend so just the girls and I loaded up and headed to Grandma's :) All of the rest of the fam was able to join too so we had a great time catching up and enjoying the holiday. The kids camped out in the backyard and did jots of jumping on the tramp with the sprinkler, perfect in the hot weather. The big girls got their toes painted patriotic courtesy of Sabrina the great! We had scrumptious BBQ and celebrated birthdays, a great weekend full of fun:)

Happy Fourth!!!!! Getting ready for the parade...

Who's gonna throw these cute blondie cousins candy?!?

Make way for the parade! And of course our ritual of chocolate milk and donuts for breakfast while we waited for it to start! YUMMMY! The parade was preety great as usual- lots of candy and cheering for our old high school :) Lots of interesting people this year too- like a 40 yr old roller derby girl dressed in barely anything and pretty much was either drunk or high as she used the US flag to help her skate around the road. Especially when she biffed it and sat there with the flag on the ground until she finally rolled over it and kept going! NICE! There was also a little performance put on by a cowboy stage crew. They got in a fight int he road and pulled out their guns right in fornt of us. Too bad Jadyn thought they were real guns and when they started shooting she screamed and ran to me cying and hid behind me. Poor thing was scared to death they were going to shoot her! Other than that it was a great morning followed by a scrumptious picnic int he park afterwards :) Oh how I love the fourth!

The two birthday buddies- Jadyn turned 5 on the 2nd and Ethan's on the 4th

Love my sisters!

Waiting for the fireworks on the river! We had our ritual Pizza on the river too- yes we do ritual food every 4th...silly but fun!! This year's fireworks were amazing! We havn't been for a few years but they were awesome as usual and I found out too IF is ranked 2nd in the country for best fireworks! I believe it- they were fabulous! Jadyn was scared they would fall on us so she ended up hiding under a blanket and fell asleep- crazy kid!

Getting ready for the show!!!

Thanks for the great weekend Grandma and Grandpa!!!!!
