Happy Birthday America! We had a different fourth this year being we spent it in Page,AZ. Nate, bless his heart was talked into driving with me half way to Utah so I wouldn't have to drive it all alone. I love you Nate! We left after work on the third and spend the night in a hotel. The next day we hit the town parade where the kids got thrown used stuff animals from the Salvation Army(we still have them, after we tried to throw them away and everyone bursted into tears!), fake mustaches and tons of candy. After the parade we went to the town's one and only park where the kids got their faces painted(Easton got a basketball and Maycee wanted a rainbow), watched Native American dancing and participated in gunny sac races! What a memorable Fourth of July! We were glad to be together. We said goodbye to Nate and he drove south and we drove north. We will be counting down the days till Nate flies to Utah( one week)!! We are grateful to live in a free country and are so thankful for all the soldiers fighting for our freedom. God Bless America! Happy 4th!

Aren't celebrations in small towns the best! I love that you just found a party and joined into the festivities! Looks like fun.

Such a cute family! I love festivities! Hey-the next time you talk to Aly, will you tell her hello for me! I got their adorable announcement in the mail (he is soooo cute, looks just like Hadley) and I was missing them. Hint to them that they need to do a blog so I can see pictures of my Hadley! I LOVE being able to see Maycee! Anyway-Happy 4th! Lots of Love!
