Happy 4th!

      I've been learning more about the founding of our nation and I just know that God prepared and inspired so many great people (Washington, Jefferson, Madison... Lincoln...) to build our nation and establish our government.  These were truly great men!  I think our nation has always been The Promised Land.  It is a special land and we have an amazing heritage.  The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are unique and so incredibly important to our nation!  I feel so blessed to live in a free nation!
      God Bless America!


Happy Fourth of July!

      Our celebrations started in the morning with our ward's annual 4th of July breakfast!  It is always so yummy and fun.  We love hanging out with our ward, everyone is so great! 

      Then we had a Recon barbecue at the office.  Devin said I am in big trouble because I didn't get any pictures of the steaks which were his very favorite part. . . They were good!  We had lots and lots of yummy food, rode the scooter, played basketball, and had ping pong tournaments.  

      We took a short break out of our partying for naps and then resumed at Bready Park (which is located so conveniently right next to our house) for park fun where we met up with some friends and watched fireworks.

Sweating at the park... it has been SO HUMID and HOT!

 

      Herndon had really awesome fireworks for a little town.  We haven't watched fireworks on the fourth since before I had Bridger because it always seemed like it would be too much work finding parking and fighting traffic for him to only be scared of them anyway.  I was so glad we went this year!  I love watching the fireworks to music.  It feels so patriotic.  Bridger loved them and Myra even seemed pretty interested in them.  And it took us less than five minutes to walk home afterward. . . Perfect!
