Our 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! There is something so wonderful about this holiday. I love it so much. We celebrated the 4th on two different days, making it that much more special!

We went up to West Jordan on Wednesday. Originally we were going to celebrate it in Logan at the USU stadium but decided it would be too hot and too far of a drive. Instead we had a lot of fun playing outside in the backyard. Spencer's mom bought a really cool kiddy pool and Autumn had a blast.

The water was too cold at first so we put some hot water in it. Eventually she was brave enough to get in. Took about 10 minutes. As you can see her dad had fun too. 

The trifle dessert I made. We also had shish kebabs for dinner.

Our baby.

Don't think those cheeks could get much cuter!

Sparklers! Autumn kept trying to touch it. 

Around 9:00 we had our own $30 firework show in the front yard. The boys and I had a lot of fun lighting these off.

Autumn and her grandpa!

I love this picture it looks like it came straight from the 1950s.

 

Possessed by the lights!

At one point all the boys lit the fireworks in their hands and ran around the street like lady liberty holding the torch. It was hilarious! 

The next day Autumn and I hung out and played outside until dad got back from work. 

Love this cutie!! She likes fireworks and is initially amazed by them, but after about 5 minutes she starts to lose interest. She is starting to let me put her back in bows and will leave them on for more than a few minutes. Isn't her outfit so cute?

Autumn wrote that. Can you believe it?

As it got closer to dark, I got the car all packed with food and chairs for the fireworks. We went to the Marriott Center and watched the fireworks from the Stadium of Fire show. They were incredible! A nice couple next to us let Autumn use their glow bracelets. She was hilarious running up and down the sidewalk waving them around!
