4th of July ~ 2011

Happy Birthday Daddy & America

We were very lucky once again with the 4th of July weather.  There is nothing more unbearable than scorching hot weather and sitting on the side of the road watching a parade.  Yay for clouds and sprinkles...

Our day started with the West Jordan Parade...  So sorry WJ City, but it was kind of a stinker this year.  I think I saw 2 floats, a clown on a 2 story bicycle and a bunch companies, driving company cars handing out company flyer's (which by the way just ends up littering the road sides as people leave). Thumbs down to the parade this year.  However, and most important, the kids loved it. 

We also celebrate the most important man in my life on this day, my father.  His strength, courage, witt, many quirks and undying love for us all is what we adore about my Dad.  He is a survivor and a mentor.  I celebrate my Dad today and everyday. I love you Daddy thank you for all you do and have done for us!  Love forever your "Brown Eyed Girl"

 Ooooh look my cute little niece, right ^ there, was in the parade...!

(Boo) Sorry no pictures of the BBQ

By the way, if you are wondering why Hunter is dressed like an orphan...  Somehow right before dinner Hunter came running into the house covered in ants.  He was screaming "they're biting me".  I dashed him into the bathroom where I was pulling off his clothes and brushing ants off of his perfect baby skin.  Ultimately I had to get him into the tub and wash those creepy crawlies away.  Poor boy didn't dare put his clothes back on, not that I blame him, so I had to borrow from the cousins.  Hunter's bigger than both of them... This is all that fit.
