4th of July Weekend

We had fun the whole weekend. Saturday we hung together as a family and got to watch the West Valley Fireworks from our street. They were so close we heard the baning of the fireworks and the cheering of everyone when they were over. That's my idea of fireworks....see the action without the crowds and traffic. And the kids loved watching them too.
Sunday we Brandon and Chyann and their little girls over. I will post pics when they are available. We just sat around and ate snacks...so yummy and I am sure I gained enough weight! After we ate the kids decided to put on a show for us. It was totally cute. They gave out "tickets" we had to turn in, and they had the room all set up with a stage and chairs for all of us. The little girls did some gymnastics and sang some songs as did Rhett. They even had a spotlight(from a bedside lamp). They were so proud of themselves. After the show, we went outside to do our fireworks. They were pretty fun, till I got burned by a sparkler from a very excited 3 year old. After the cops and fire engines ran thru our neighborhood due to the courtesy of our neighbors and their illegal fireworks, we called it a night.
Monday Justin had a half day so when he got home we worked on the yard and headed down to Salt Lake City to Monica's to go swim, meet her soon-to-be stepkids, and have dinner. We had a very fun time swimming and all the kids just love the water. Justin, Rhett, and Aiyden had a watergun war which left the girls to fend for themselves. After swimming we drove down to West Jordan to try out this yummy philly steakhouse. Of course after we drove the distance, and were tired from the long day, and the kids were cranky cause they were starving....the place was closed for an extended holiday weekend! We decided to cross over the parking lot and eat at Cafe Rio. It was really good but I am excited to try the philly steak sandwich. After this long day, we had to head home for Harmons Lagoon Day the next day! More to come shortly. I promise. I think I am finally getting the hang of this blog thing.

She was all smiles the whole day....she loves the water!
