The 4th


Like every year, the 4th was a great time. We had dinner and saw the car show at the park with the Jenkins, then went back to my parent's for fireworks. Luke, Ben and Abby decided to sleep out on the tramp... Luke came in around 3:00 a.m. because of the cold. I couldn't believe Abby stuck it out, she's pretty tough. The next morning we went to the parade and then had breakfast at my parent's with the Jenkins. After breakfast and visiting with family we headed home for naps. When we were well rested we went to the Dawson's for dinner and more fun family time. Later that night we all decided to go to the Hooper fireworks. They were some of the best I'd seen in a long time.



Hanging out with Uncle Jed (Ab calls him one of the crazy uncles)chuggin some delicious shasta

Hailey was SO good the whole weekend. I love snuggling with this baby girl.



I love Abby's squishy sweet cheeks

Good times
Finally a picture where she's not totally cheesin it

You gotta love the marching band

I wanted a picture of the matching dresses... I swear, Carly does love Hailey, I don't know what the glaring face is for

Luke and Carly are petrified to sit on Ben's shoulders. It might be because it's such a long way down .


Grandma Sharla with baby Hailey

Luke with his boys, catching dragonflies. You gotta love Dawson and Fisher... chillin in their boxer briefs (that's what Fisher told me to call them)

watching fireworks with Grandma

Abby watched the fire works from under the quilt. Meaning she really didn't watch at all. Toward the end I kept yelling about how pretty the pink ones were, so she did pop her head out at the end.

Carly also watched from under the quilt. I think she was just trying to go to sleep.

The 4th is my favorite holiday... I love being with family.

Cute pictures. Dallin is the same way about sitting on Russ's shoulders. I don;t know why. He use to be totally OK with it.

Great pictures. I love that Carly was stained orange because of how she guzzled that drink :)

What cute kids. I'd be scared to be on Ben's shoulders too. He's tall. Maybe next time, she should sit on your shoulders. Not that you're not tall or anything.
