Melting like a popcicle on the forf of July

The fourth of July happens to be my favorite holiday! I absolutely love the fourth of July! Now if you read my blog (vs. look at the pictures and fill in the blanks) you know that I say this about every holiday. But really I think that the fourth really really is it! I was planning on being in Prescott for the fourth (you have NEVER experienced the fourth until you have experienced it in Prescott, AZ) but due to sick kids, it just didn't happen. But I did enjoy all of our "Utah" traditions! Our first one is going to the Kaysville pancake breakfast. We love waking up to the Kaysville Cannon shooting off and going down the the DATC to get our grub on! Josh has been going to the DATC for a LOOOONNNNGGGG time! So we love to take the kids down to "Daddy's school!"

Last year at this time I was lumbering along with these two in my belly. It was much nicer to be pushing them around in their new sweet ride. Josh's brother, Justin was in town so after the breakfast we went and took family pictures. Some of those have been posted on the side bar- I will do another post of the family once I play with photoshop a little more. After family pictures, we headed down to the Kaysville City parade. I love me a parade on the fourth of July!

Max with loot in his mouth and loot in his hand. We were at the end of the parade and those who still had candy just dumped it at our feet. It was a great place to be for gathering candy! We happened upon our friends and they grabbed up my babies, it was fabulous!

Here is Amelia enjoying the parade from Sydney's arms. It was a great place to be!

Here Cooper is chilling with Diana. I think they were loving their first fourth of July parade.

Turner looking cool in his sunglasses!

Once Milzy saw me, she only wanted momma. Here are the girls loving the parade together. She may not look like she is enjoying it but deep down inside she really is cheering at every beauty queen and clown that come by! (Is there a difference between the two? Just kidding :)

Here is the crew in their festive fourth of July clothes that their GG bought them!

Milzy is too cool for school.

So is Toop Toop

Handsome patriots!

Josh either sleeping (or playing with his ipod) on the job. We went to the in-laws for a BBQ and some fireworks.

OOOOHHHHHH AAAAHHHHHHH OOOOHHHHHH AHHHHAHHHHH!!! I hope that you all had a fantastic fourth of July!!!
