Happy 4th of July









So, it has been a very busy last couple of days. We really enjoyed a fun 4th of July. Our ward had a pancake breakfast with a flag raising ceremony and then a bike parade. Joseph was chosen to be the caller for the flag raising and did a great job of course! Then we ate and the kids decorated their scooters and then went around a couple of times in the parking lot. It was so much fun, the kids loved it. We then met some of our good friends and went to see Cars 2 which we loved! Then got KFC and then drove out to Parker to watch the fireworks. The line to enter the park was over 2 miles long, so we went out into an open field near by and set up our chairs and enjoyed our KFC picnic and then watched the fireworks. Overall, a fun day. We sure missed being around family in Utah which has been our routine the last couple of years, but had a great time here.

The other bit of news as seen sort of in the picture, is that Rachel lost her first tooth! About 10 minuets later, Joseph lost his 10th tooth. It was a busy tooth losing day for sure. The tooth fairy left some Hello Kitty headbands for Rachel and then a set for Juliana as well, because the tooth fairy felt sorry that Juliana has not lost a tooth yet, she cannot help it, right? As for Joseph the tooth fairy left him a note saying she owed him a ticket to go and see the new Harry Potter here in about a week. Looking forward to still a lot of pool time as summer is now in full swing for sure.

Sounds so fun! Lovely pictures. So glad we got to see Rachel's lost tooth in person! And that is one smart tooth fairy. ;)

Looks like a fun event. We did the same thing with the kids riding their decorated bikes and scooters...they loved that! And sounds like an eventful tooth day. ;)
