4th of July!

We had another great 4th! It really is probably my 2nd favorite holiday. We started the day as usual, getting up early and setting up our spot on Main Street to watch the parade.

Waiting in the super cold weather for it to start...

Blankets and sweatshirts on the 4th? What is this? So not right to be freezing in July.

My sisters were with us of course, but we even got Nate, Chelsea and Broden to come with us. Too bad it was the worst Rexburg parade we've EVER had... too much lame advertising, not very much music and fun.


As long as they throw candy, the kids are happy. For some reason this year everyone decided to stand the entire time and we couldn't see unless we were standing too so, so much for all our hard work setting up... Oh well!

Lacey, Brynlee and Brad


See what I mean the kids are practically in the middle of the street! Funny....

Nate brought donuts!

We still had fun cause hey, its tradition!

That afternoon we had a BBQ down at the pond with Brad and Lacey, Tiff and a bunch of Brad's fam. Then we headed to I.F. for the best part of the day. Dinner and Fireworks!
You can just sit and watch the fireworks from the tables, but we like to be comfy. Just waiting for it to start...
Nothing better then watching fireworks snuggeled up with Aaron.


We brought Dawn along, she has lived in Rexburg forever and had never been to the best firework show "this side of the Mississippi"!


So one of the great things about living in Rexburg is that even when the 4th is on a Sunday we still get to do all the fun stuff cause it gets moved to Saturday. Unfortunatly Bonnie couldn't get there in time for the fun on Saturday so we did some fireworks to celebrate the real 4th of July.

Taylee ran like crazy every time she got some sparklers... so grateful she didn't catch on fire!

What do we got left?

Like I said, another great 4th of July!

Blankets and sweatshirts on the 4th of July, what? We had warm weather on this side of ID. Your 4th looked like a lot of fun. I can't believe how much Taylee has grown. She is so cute!

That was so fun! It's funny that I commented on your hair being long in the last post, but that's when we were still there! It looks really long to me! haha
