July 4th

 Besides Christmas, the 4th of July is definitely my favorite holiday. I have so many memories from the 4th of July growing up. It is a tradition to always go to the parade with my family, but we decided not to go this year. Kelly, Rylee and I went to Seven Peaks instead. We had TONS of fun swimming together and going down a slide (Rylee wasn't so sure what to think about the slide) but now I kinda wish we would have gone to the parade. Oh well, we still had a FUN day together!



After we got back from swimming Kelly took a nap, Rylee talked in her crib for an hour, and I got ready. I was so surprised she didn't go to sleep. She never does that! I guess she was having way too much fun. :) At 4 we had hamburgers and lots of other yummy food at Kelly's grandma's. Here is Rylee playing with Kelly's cousins. She LOVES Jake and Callum. They always play hard together.



 When we got home at about 7, Kelly sat on the couch with Rylee and she fell right to sleep. She was so tired. Too bad she only got to sleep for about 30 minutes or so cause we went and watched the fireworks over on BYU campus.
 I hate this picture of me! Kelly and Rylee look cute though. :)
 Biting her nails like usual - ugh. So sad she is only 2 and bites her nails.
 She did not like the fireworks. She says, "Fiye - beket!" (Fire - blanket) She wanted to cover her head the whole time cause she was scared. We finally started asking her what colors each one was and then she was ok. She loved the Art City Days fireworks, but we were a lot farther away from those.

It was such a fun day! Looking forward to next year.
