4th of July

We had a fun and super relaxed 4th!  Luckily Nick and I both had the day off. Which is crazy like whoa!  In the morning we went to our neighborhoods pancake breakfast and bike parade.  It is lead by a firetruck every year.  The kids love it!  We decorated up the kids wagon and pulled them along while they waved and yelled hi to people.  After that we went home and worked a little in the garden and the kids took naps.  Our sweet friends had us over for a barbecue and then it was down to the park for the big firework show.  It was so so great!  Nicco screamed the whole time and Lola sat saying Wow!  We headed back to our friends house and they put on an awesome firework display.  This year is the first year that aerials were legal in Utah!  That is a huge huge deal!  There were aerials everywhere.  It was way fun.  PLus it was Lola and Nicco's first time doing sparklers.  They loved it!  It was great!

I'm Back!!!

Miss me?  I missed you!  Nick, the kids and I went on our first little family vacation.  It was super great!  There are so many cute and hilarious stories that I need to write down so I can remember them for years to come.  My kids kick ass!  They never cease to amaze me. Here are a couple of pictures of where we were.  There are more and more to come!  

I want to come back with a pair of shoes to add to the shoe tree!  It was about 5 miles or so outside of Zion's park.  It was so awesome!  

Oh Zion's!  How I loved thee!  Nick and I already have plans to go back and do some of the bigger hikes without the kids.  Their poor little legs barely made the little walks that we did do with them.  

I had to share this picture.  I am so proud of it.  My little Nicco took it.  He is obsessed with our camera and he takes pretty decent pictures.  I think this boy needs a camera for his birthday!
