4th of July Weekend...

Here are a couple of photos to go with the text below. Here is my sister, Jaymee in one of her bridals.Here is a photo of my beautiful nieces...Kaiden, Abby, Mallory and baby Brinley.

I had a great 4th of July weekend! I was able to go home and visit my family in Idaho. (Nick stayed home with Trevor so that wasn't so great, but they had a great time in Utah.) My sister, Jeana, and I drove down with a friend Thursday night and came back Sunday afternoon. So it was a fast trip--but it was fun to see everyone. My sister Jeana took bridals of my sister Jaymee who is getting married in September, and my sister-in-law Melissa had a baby girl the Thursday we came up. It was fun to get to see her. She was so tiny and cute!!! I also had the chance to play tennis a couple of times and go bowling with some of my family members. I do have pictures to prove it--but I beat everyone there with an almost all time high score of 174--my highest is 175. I had two chances to get a turkey and messed up each time--the pressure got to me. Just kidding. I don't really bowl all that well. The game before I got a 102. Let just say I had some luck on my side. My family also had a BBQ. It was fun to see everyone.

I missed Nick and Trevor a lot, but they had a great weekend. Friday afternoon Nick and Trevor went down to Provo for a BBQ with his mom and family. Before they did that though Trevor got to play in a swimming pool. Nick said he liked it, but that it was a little cold. Then Nick went with family to the Stadium of Fire and Trevor got to stay and play with his cousin Jackson and his Grandma Cyndi and Brad. Then Saturday morning they drove up to Rupert, Idaho with family for a baptism and then drove back Saturday night with Nick's
dad who was flying out Sunday morning from the Salt Lake Airport.

It was a great weekend! We were able to spend time with family! I am so grateful for this country and for all of the freedoms that we enjoy and for all the men and women who make it possible.
