HaPpY 4Th oF JuLy....

This year we decided to spend the night at my Mom's in Provo so we could be down there for the big Parade in the morning. My Mom watched the boys so Matt and I could go on a much needed date! I think our last date was when Matt got arrested! Remember that??!! While we were out Mom and Dan took the boys to Colonial Days. That was going on in downtown Provo. The boys had so much fun and even got cotton candy! Spending the night didn't go as well as I thought it would. The boys were so wired they would not go to bed. We all slept in the same room and Matt declared lights out! So I could not read into the wee hours of the night. (FYI I have finally finished the entire Work and the Glory series. Only took me a few months!) So it took me forever to fall asleep. Then first it was Cody to wake up, then Landen. They were disoriented and could not find the bathroom. So that was another event. Finally we all settled in except for Matt. He ended up on the couch! Sorry Babe! We got up nice and early so we could get to our hopefully still saved spots at the Parade. Good thing they were. We had a great spot right at the start of the parade. It was horribly hot but the boys did great. After awhile they got bored and didn't care anymore. We were pouring water on the boys to keep them cool. Landen was drinking a can of strawberry lemonade and started pouring that on his head! So he was nice and sticky. After the parade we went to lunch with Matt's brother Justin. Then hung out until it was time for our 4Th of July dinner with Mom and Dan. It was so yummy! After we lit sparklers and a few fire crackers the neighbor had then walked down to the rest home that was putting on a show for the residents. They had a great little set up. Plus Matt got me a banana Slurpee from the gas station. It was soooooo good! To finish of our night we parked outside the BYU stadium to watch the big show that they put on. The boys were so into it. They make the holidays so fun! Then we took of for home sweet home! Excited to be back in our own beds! I have tons of cute pics but blogger is being very lame and not letting me post them!
