Happy Utah Day!

Woo. We have had some fun despite the coughs and runny noses. We've been able to spend time with both sides of the family. We did a pool party/BBQ with my family. I love being with them. We set up the slip 'n' slide and everyone took a turn. Yes, even Grandma and I. The kids got their first experience with the ice cream truck man. Is it just me? Everytime I hear that music I think creep-o!! We did some fireworks with everyone on the 23rd. That was fun. I love that everyone gets along. (Cody's fam and mine). And then we partied it up with Cody's family on the 24th. Austy conquered her fear of swimming. Brody was Mr. Independent, which is way to scary for me when he's by the pool. And little Easton was mauled on by the ladies. It has been a good weekend. We ended it all with a block party. I love our neighborhood. We have the greatest neighbors ever. I went home early because Brody was a hot mess from the fireworks and I missed out on the cops. Those darn illegal fireworks. They'll get you everytime. Drum roll please.........

can you see the resemblance?
