Happy Fourth of July!

We had a very different fourth this year. Preston was sick with a high fever and just real sick so we didn't do our usual Parade! I was a little sad since it is more of a tradition I love. I am really excited for Farmington Festival days that is this weekend though our parade is always really good and hopefully Preston is a lot better. We hung out as a family and really enjoyed being together though. We had a barbeque at Chad's Parents and the kids had a really good time. We then went and watched fireworks from the Jail. Karleigh loved it.

Tonight we had a movie in the backyard at Nana's. Chad set up the projector and the kids thought that was so much fun. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows and then did fireworks. It was a lot of fun. This saturday we will be going to the parade and then I will post some fun pics!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I am so thankful that I am blessed to live in this country and don't have to live with the daily terror of war. I am so grateful to be an american. I thank a gracious Heavenly Father for giving us a country with which we can raise our families in safety. I hope we all pray daily for our country and freedoms.

You got to love the 4th. Sorry Preston didn't get to enjoy it, but there is always next year. I love your blog and love to see your kids (which are pretty darn cute and getting too big).
