Our 4th of July Weekend

Okay so this post is long overdue but life has been crazy lately. So for the 4th of July, we hung out with my family on the 3rd at Laura's. All the kids went swimming in an awesome water blow-up toy they have. Then we had a barbecue with everyone. It was a lot of fun. We then headed up to Utah State to see the fireworks. We had great seats but unfortunately I was feeling kind of sick so Brian and I left about ten minutes into the fireworks. Surprisingly, Ethan didn't get scared when the fireworks went off. He loved looking at them but started to fall asleep so that was another reason why we decided to leave.

Ethan loves to play with his cousins!

Ethan didn't like this hat at all!

I just love the look on his face here.

Saturday, we headed down to Myton. Good ol' Myton. Brian's grandparents live in Myton, which is right by Roosevelt. We go down every year for a family reunion. Its always a lot of fun because Brian's uncle made a park for us to enjoy. It has a pond and swing and slide. And there's also a sand pit for the kids to play in. I can't wait for Ethan to be big enough to enjoy it next year! We had a good time this year. That night we headed up to Park City to spend the night there. As we were checking into our hotel the fireworks started. There were people everywhere outside the hotel because the fireworks were literally right across the street, which was fun! Then Sunday, we met up with Brad and Missy and went to Park City's Main Street because I love the buildings. They are old fashioned but renovated so they are nice. They had the Park Silly Sunday Market that day too so we just walked through to see the cool stuff that people were selling. We decided there's not a whole lot to do in Park City when you can't spend money so we just came home after lunch. It was nice to get away from the real world for a little while at least.

This last week, we have been pretty busy. Brian is always busy with scouts, something that doesn't need to be said I guess. They went boating last week to work on their water skiing merit badge. What a hard calling he has! Then we both played in the softball game on Thursday. I am not a huge fan of softball because every time I play, I always get hurt. I've broken my nose twice playing and I jacked up my knee trying to get a ball once. No good experiences so I usually don't play but our ward would've had to forfeit if I didn't so I HAD to. It was actually a lot of fun and I am still sore from running the bases. I actually hit the ball every time I was up to bat, to every one's surprise.

Saturday, we had a family party for Brian's mom's birthday. We met her extended family down in Clearfield at a park and had lunch and some games. It was fun but hot! Ethan was sweating the whole time and I tried to keep him in the shade, which helped. We then went to my brother's house to hang out. We were leaving his house at about 10:30 that night when Brian realized he had lost his phone. So we checked Jason's house, my mom's (we went there for dinner), and went back to the park. We were on our way back to Jason's when he called saying he found it. Luckily! Brian and his luck with cellphones! Anyway, we finally got home at one in the morning but with a phone so that was good. I'm awful at taking pictures so I stole the ones above from my sister Emily. Thanks Em!
