Let Freedom Ring

We had a fun 4th. We decided to hit the church ward function, and we were so glad we did. That was the hi-light of the whole day. The kids were entertained, and fed. That is worth a nickel.

The Frei's had a water park set up in their backyard. Big visqueen slip-n-slide, mini pools, zip line, a trampoline, and tables full of yummy food.

We were semi- invited to a neighbor firework show, but we ended up going to the city to watch the Big show. Maybe we would have reconsidered, cause apparently dusk here in Minnesota is 10:15 pm.

I still have to say, there is NOTHING like a 4th in Utah! Happy 4th everyone, celebrate your freedom!

My favorite hoiday and it's time to celebrate!!!

Happy Anniversary... some assembly required!

Shawn and I celebrated our 14th year together. Wow!

So, I took the stress from him and bought us our gift. Two Adirondack chairs in a lovely shade of Red was calling my name. Some assembly required. So after our big night out, I show him what we got for 14 years of magic. His excitement wasn't as great as mine, and he asked "do we need them?" Well of course was my response, how else are we going to watch the sunset? So due to his lack of enthusiasm, I grabbed the electric screwdriver, and went to work ( I think he was more excited to see me with the electric tool in my hands!).

A piece of cake, and what beauties they are.
