Happy Fourth!!!


I hope everyone had a great fourth. The fourth of July is my favorite holiday. So i was very excited this year being in a new place. I wanted to see how they celebrated out here.In the morning we went to our ward breakfast. It was good. We got to see all our friends and had a great time. After the breakfast we came home so Maddie could take her nap. She was up early cookin with Jason. (We had to cook the hash browns for the breakfast) Then we headed up to the mountains. It was so GREEN we really liked being up there. We had a picnic then let the kids play in the water. It was so relaxing we put our camping chairs in the water and put our feet in. It was so much fun. Collin loved it until he did a face plant into the water, then he was more cautious of where he walked. :) Maddie loved it she wanted to jump right in and play with the rest of the kids.When we were done we came home, ate dinner and got ready to go watch the fire works. Rio Rancho does a huge fire work show. So we went to a local park near by. They had some huge blowup slide toys for Collin to play on. He had a lot of fun playing on those. Then we went and watched the fire works. We had a really good spot. They were right over us. They were so big. Collin wanted to catch one so bad. He told us he wanted to keep it in his pocket so he could take it home. Ha ha. Christian (my sisters little boy) wanted to set a fire work off so bad. He told us that he wanted to send one up so that Jesus could see. Ha ha. He is so funny. We love you Christian.We had a really good fourth. I hope you all did to. Cant wait until next year. :)

Both Collin and MadaLynn looked so cute at the 4th of July breakfast-you have inspired me to dress my kids up more festive next year(0: Sounds like you guys had a good time! I'm glad you're finding fun things to do here. The mountains really are pretty and green-it's kind of nice to get away from the dust every once in a while(0: Hope you had a good week!
