The 4th of July!

My day stated off at 6am when I forced myself out of bed to do my bike ride. Then at 7 am I took me and my sexy biker shorts to put up flags with the Young Women. Yes, in our ward the Young Women and the Young men take turns with the flags. After I went to help set up for our neighborhood 4th of July Block Party! Let me fist start off by telling you we have the cutest neighbor Jennifer who put together the whole thing. I try my best to help, but she is one hard person to keep up with. She is amazing! So after setting up we had a little parade at 10:30 am. Matt and Tate had decorated his scooter for the parade.
After everyone stays for game and food. Me and a few other neighbors did the face painting. After cleaning up The morning had caught up with me and the kids and I took a nap. Later that night we hooked up with some fellow neighbors and hung out tell the fireworks came out. We wanted to watch Thanksgiving Points fireworks form our house but found the whole neighborhood outside lighting fireworks instead. Tate had a blast! So here are some pics.

Reunited

So I had one of my long lost cousins get married this last week. Actually she wasn't lost we just hadn't seen each other for over 13 years. When we were younger my family would always make a trip to visit her family in St. George, but after a while everyone seemed to get scattered around the U.S.. So when my mom and I got an invite and saw it was in good ol' St George we decided to make it a road trip. Then when the cousin found out we were coming she got a really crazy idea and asked me to sing at the reception. What you got to understand is my cousin is like the most awesome singer ever, so it was very intimidating. It went well though.
Over all it was so fun to see Melissa and meet her new husband. They are such a cute couple and we wish them the best. The wedding was beautiful with beautiful words and very nice reception after.
It was also fun to spend a few days with just me and my mom and no kids.
