You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

4th of July Weekend!

We went to Utaho this year for the 4th of July! Fun part is - we met up with my other 4 siblings and Marie -and had a massive partay! We checked out the BYU creamery, we watched Stadium of Fire from the grass outside the stadium, we lit fireworks, we played tag - we got lots of fountain soda at the drive through convienence stores, we ate good food, did plenty of swimming and took lots of pictures! It was a serious treat to have everyone there! We (Trish and I) stayed at Aunt Debbie's, Lynn was at the Halladay's Cabin- Scott and Brittany with Brittany's grandparents, and Jason and Tasha in a Hotel. It was good times. Oh, and we laughed a lot -thanks to all of our great humor!
We went to a park after the parade in Provo - we played tag with the kids and ate Sonic for lunch. The kids were soooo tired that they were falling asleep in the swings.




Gwennie loved to hold Dyson any chance she got!


From the parade to the little park- I had all the little kiddies in my car- fun little ride! :)


the parade was a little long but soooo fun- Tyler got a Krispy Kreme hat and kept it the entire morning. Lynn's in-laws got tons of donuts for us and we ate em all up!




Maesyn loves Uncle Travis. She hung out for a bit before the fireworks started at Stadium of fire! Then she was scared and sought after her parents. :)


Aunt Lynn was super fun and made shirts and hair bows for all the nieces and nephews (not hair bows for the nephews) - and we got a fun group shot of them all in their gear....Even dallin who was exhausted floated into the picture (my arms hurt so bad). :)















We did our own little fireworks show on Monday night - Hunter asked Aunt Debbie how she bought all those fireworks and wouldn't be satisfied with any answer....he couldn't believe how many they had. She finally told him she had a coupon and he was satisfied with that. Earlier in the week he asked if her neigbors were poor, when she inquired why he simply said "because we're poor...."






the cousins had a blast playing on Aunt Debbie's tramp and eating candy! I think these pictures are priceless!



This was at the park after the parade (Jason was gone already) and we played tag and had some Sonic!



Parade! I love my sister!
I also love my Marie!
These 2 - Annabelle and Tyler managed to get lost several times during the parade...caused quite the panic.
our fun group shot.....notice floating Dallin and advertiser Dallin! The kids were sooo tired!

We had family pictures while we were there....here are some pictures of all of us good lookin people.









Maesyn wanted in our family picture....I think I might send it as our Chrismas card. So funny!

I love them those kids so much and looking at those pictures makes me miss them. Even after me saying how much I was ready for some peace and quiet, I really wanted to cry (and kind of did a little) when you guys left. It was the best weekend!!

Looks like a super fun time!!! I miss all of you fun people, it makes my heart hurt a little bit. But I am glad you all had a great time, and I didn't know that Lynn made all those cutie shirts!!! I am super impressed (as in, I think I might attempt the same thing next year for my own kiddos)!
