Here are a few video clips from the fourth of July... This is the candy drop. He flys incredibly low, a tad bit freaky and makes several passes and drops a tun of candy. The good stuff!

Family, Good Friends, and the 4th
The past week has been hectic but great. Liz had dance camp. Laura helped teach dance while Lilly watched my cousin's girls. Family is in town and we have had fun seeing Michelle with Saddie and Nixon. We had a BBQ at Suzi and Wally's (Nana and Papa Wally) house and made s'mores and the kids put on a play on the stage. Does it get any better? Brandon and I worked in the Temple on Saturday, washing dishes. We were told again by the temple president that we were going to heaven. For doing dishes? Had I known this I would have started working in the Temple washing dishes sooner!! I made some steak and shrimp kabob's that pretty much rocked for dinner Saturday night.
For the Fourth of July we spent the day with our good friends Cody and Kari Wright and their family. Brandon has known Cody since high school and their kids are the same ages as ours. They have been friends for a long time and they have been so welcoming to me. It's nice to have such good friends. We have a lot of fun together. We started our morning off with a parade and then off to a carnival with a killer water slide, and some professional wrestling, rock climbing wall and all sorts of games. There was also a candy drop, yep, it was awesome. Brandon was overjoyed at the wrestling. I don't even know how to describe this the wrestling entertainment but let's say I don't think we were supposed to find it comical, I think it was supposed to be serious. Either way, we loved it. We spent the rest of the day BBQing and hanging out. The kids played in the sprinklers, played hop scotch, spray painted t-shirts and played games. I was introduced to what Brandon and Kari called one of the funniest movies of all time, Nacho Libre. Kari made home made mac and cheese, YUM. We ended our night with fireworks. The fireworks in Willard are amazing. We laid on the baseball field and they were right above us. FANTASTIC! As I laid on the lawn, I felt complete. Laura was laying on one leg, my Brandon on the other, and Luke leaned on my tummy to watch the fireworks, with Liz and Lilly close by. It was one of those moments where you know everything is worth it; family is what it is all about. Brandon and I are blessed. It was a great moment to end a fun day.
We continue to have a good summer and enjoy being with each other, our family, and friends. Lilly is currentyly at girls camp and will get home just in time to go camping again with the Sandall family. Then the kids are with us for two weeks straight; we couldn't be more thrilled. Life is good. We wish our summer would slow down!
