Happy 4th!!!!



Micah works 6 days a week all summer long, so when he get's 4th of July off we celebrate. I think it's becoming our favorite holiday. We had a few family firework shows. I love Taj cheering- he get's into it.

The first party we went to was a pool party at the Hartley's. Micah's not hiding from the camera, he's just not used to the sun.


Eden asked why red, white and blue get a birthday. This was a fun year for her, as a 3 year old she's starting to really think about things and figure out why we do what we do.


 At party number two we had the traditional release of the ladybugs- freedom! All the kids squeeled while Taj and Eden watched and adored the little critters.
I'm telling you, the boy loves fireworks. This year he was caught several times testing limits and saying things like "I was just burning the weeds". Yikes.

Olivia was seen nursing corn all night long. Along with fireworks, she discovered corn this year.

Eden said, "we should have only done one party." She was super tired by the end. We all were. We packed in the fun and the Micah time. The drive home from Park City was amazing... there were fireworks going off everywhere we looked.
