4th of July

There is no better place than Utah on the 4th.  It's a very patriotic place to be.  People love our country, love fire works and the weather is always nice.  

We went up to the canyon for a dinner with the Paxtons.  It was nice.  Of course, my kids wanted to play in the little stream/river.  

MacKay enjoyed a healthy meal of sun chips and root beer.  Not to mention he looked a little WT in that outfit.  But, that's okay.  

He's so curious.  Reminds me of "Monkey George."

After dinner, we drove back to Lehi, just in time to see some fireworks.  It was amazing to drive south on I-15 and see fireworks all the way down.  I love this land.

Then, the 5 of us, watched some fireworks.  I looked around and saw my adorable hubby, my three precious babies and I felt so happy.  So very, very happy.  I love them.  All of them.  We are so lucky to have each other.  My kids eyes were wide open at the beautiful lights in the sky.  We sat in our little lawn chairs and Jase was a happy boy all awake at 10 pm at night.  Just a quick drive back to our house and back in bed for the night.  Sitting there with my family was just one of those fulfilling times that my heart wants to always remember.  I loved it.  I loved being "just our little family."  I loved that our kids were 100 percent happy to be with us and nobody was squabbling!  (Not me and Bart, I'm talking about the kids!)

Happy 4th.
