Memories

Thanks Jessica for suggesting this... I think this will be fun!

Here's how you play:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Thanks for playing the memory game! :o)

Happy 4th of July!!

Because this is the 4th of July celebration, I have to begin by first paying tribute to my favorite soldier (which also happens to be my favorite brother!) :o) Michael - we are all so proud of you and the man you've become! We miss you terribly, but are so glad that you have found something you love doing! Keep up all the hard work, and we can't wait to see you again!!

The weather outside was so nice, so after enjoying a great barbeque we decided to take a stroll over to the park and hang out for a bit before the fireworks.

It took the boys a little bit to get these things figured out, but once they did, they really had fun hearing all Brad's good secrets! :o)

Oh... how cute...

Great posing everyone!

Dallen couldn't be in the group shot because he was having too much fun on the playground!

I wonder what was going through his mind... he looks very perplexed!

Our neighborhood did a block party and it was so much fun! Everyone joined together to light fireworks so we had a great show! (Not to mention the fact that Brad went a little over board on the giant box of fireworks from Sam's!)

He was smiling in the beginning, but as soon as the loud fireworks started, both Austin and Jaxon were not enjoying the holiday festivities and had to go in the house!

My favorite little fire-cracker....... holding a sparkler!

Thanks everyone for coming over to our house for the celebration! Tiff and Cam, we really missed you guys, but hope you had a great time in Utah!

Happy 4th of July!
