Happy 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July! We started out the day at the church with a ward pancake breakfast and small program. They had some fun games and it is always a fun time socializing with everyone.

I'm on and off with holiday's - this year, I told Shawn "I'm not one of those people to go out and buy a new holiday shirt for every 4th of July - so we will probably be the only ones not in red, white and blue!"  haha - the next morning of course, I couldn't help it and told everyone to find something.  I think we did pretty good for a last minute color theme.

After the breakfast, a group was going to the $1 show.  We ended up at the wrong theater, on accident - but it was still $1 Thursday and we were with our friends the Watne's.  We watched Despicable Me - which is funny.  The girls enjoyed dancing during the end credits. 

We had a neighborhood pool party planned, but 20 minutes before it started, it started down pouring.  It has been the wettest summer yet!  We ended up having a cook out with the Kofoed's and Mildenhall's - always so fun.  There was about a 45 minute break from the rain between 7:45 and 8:30 - so we hurried out to do fireworks and sparklers. 

The Kofoed's joined us.

One last attempt at a family picture for the day!

I love the 4th of July and I love going to parades.  I miss celebrating the 4th in Utah, but definitely love that I could be with my cute little family!
