4th Fun with Family n Friends

 We had a super fun 4th Weekend!  On the 2nd, we went to Provo,ut. and watched the firework show outside the stadium of fire!  We called up my dear friends Heather and Kirk the morning of and within 10 min, we had our whole day and night planned!  Kirk saved us some good blanket spots right next to the tailgate of the truck and Kyle ordered pizza to a street corner... (which i had no idea they would even do!  Go Papa Johns!)  Above is our sweet Baby Kase in his "Baby's first 4th" shirt.
 Kaylee girl in her patriotic outfit!  She picked it out herself!
 Kaylee, me, and Konnor.  (my arm shadow looks like a gorilla or something!  ha ha) didn't notice that until now.
 The girls posin for the pic!  Heather is so creative!  ha ha
 The ice cream man came around when we were eating pizza... I convinced him to come back in about 45 min.  Then we would be ready for ice cream... Heather said, "I am very persuasive.  I don't know what that meant exactly... but we WERE missionaries together. ha ha  And yes for the record... I couldn't decide which ice cream to get, so I got TWO.  I later realized I couldn't eat them both fast enough so my sweet little niece helped me out!

 Our dear friends!  Heatha, Kirk, and Kids
 Here is our little family!  Cheesin little Konnor cracks me up!  I sure love him!
 F-16 fly by!  That was a highlight for us all!  Especially my dear hubby!
 Then Sunday rolls around, we went to church and then drove to Mt. Pleasant!  Here is Konnor playing in his church clothes in grandpas back yard!
 Monday- we went to the parade in Mt. Pleasant. 
 Kyle doing his new trick with Kase.
 The kids with grandpa Keith getting candy!  We still have a diaper bag FULL!
 And there we just happened to run into Kyles life long best friend!  Scott and Marie!  What a treat that was.  I got quite a few pics of these two guys talking!  And talking, and talking!  ha ha
 
While Marie and I got caught up.  It is so fun to talk to her.  I found out she is my blog stalker.  ha ha  Now she will read this and get a good laugh.
Then that night we went to the bouncy houses by the fireworks, and The kids got to have a lot of fun sliding and bouncing.  Oh yeah, I got to go on them all too.  Kyle didn't realize he had 4 kids!  ha ha
Happy 4th of July to all!  What a wonderful country we live in!  I am so proud to live here and enjoy the freedoms of this great nation.  I am also grateful for our military family!  Sgt. Grandma Lynn in Baghdad, and Private Cox in Germany!  We love you!  God bless the USA!
