The 4th of July


We love the 4th of July! It is one of my 2 favorite holidays! Halloween is the other. I love to get the kids in as much festive stuff as I can (as cheap as I can too, even better!) We have a neighborhood parade that goes right in front of our house! It was bigger than ever this year, and they got so much candy!

Taylor's dance recital

Taylor dances at Utah Artists school of ballet. She takes tap and ballet and loves it and is so good at it! She was a candlestick in Beauty and the Beast.





Braxton in a track meet

Braxton amazes us again! I swear the kid is good at everything! He won 10 first places and 1 second place, out of 15 events at 4 meets! (His first year in track)He did the 50m, 100m, 200m, long jump and 4x100. At his all county meet he won 2nd in the 100m against 62 kids! I guess we will be doing track every summer now, he loves it too! See the shadow a few feet back? It's one of the other kids in his dust!

I am finally going to try again! I can't figure this thing out, but I had so much fun last night going through a bunch of friends blogs! As soon as I figure out how to get more pictures on here, I will put them on! I am 14 weeks pregnant with #4 due on Jan 19. We are so excited to find out what it is on Aug.7! We are hoping for a boy, but it will be ok if we have a girl too. We will have a fun first week of Aug. Our 10th anniversary on the 1st, Braxton turns 8 on the 5th, we find out what the baby is on the 7th, and Braxton gets baptized on the 9th! We haven't done anything too exciting this summer except for track, swimming lessons, soccer camp and dance camp. Braxton just finished running track this week. He was incredible! He won 10 first places and 1 second place(out of 15 events) in the 4 track meets he was in. At all county he won 2nd in the 200m out of 62 kids! He loved track, so one more sport to add evey summer. I realized what is missing in my life, MY FRIENDS! I am feeling lonely 'cause we haven't seen enough of friends this year!
