Andrew and Ellie waving their flags at the paradeWe had such a great weekend. Lots of fun, food and family!!! My sister Andrea and her 7 kids are visiting from AZ as well as Chad's sister Shelley and her family. We enjoyed the Provo city parade on Friday. Chad got up at 4:30am to save us a great spot. (I know it's just a parade but you should see these mormons, they get up pretty early for free entertainment!) Then we watched the hot air balloon launch at 6:30am. My dad and kids loved it. We had about 50 people (friends and family) sitting with us at the parade. It was great and the weather was great too. We ended the forth with a BBQ and fireworks at my parent's home. The fireworks this year were set off just 2 blocks from my parent's house, so we had great seats in their front yard. It was awesome!!!
The cousins all enjoying the parade
Max and his buddy Chase sitting on our buddy Rich. We were all loaded up on the sugar. We had snacks and treats for everyone!!! Though Rich didn't like "Sharing" much!
Andrew waving his flag (and picking his nose).
Raegan wasn't very sure about doing sparklers
Then on Saturday we were able to celebrate Kalli's birthday with a party at a neighbor's swimming pool. Her cousins all came (with the ones visiting from AZ we had quite the group) We had huge giant cupcakes from Costco, which was fun to watch the kids try and eat them. Again, the weather was beautiful!!! We ended the night with food (again) and games with Chad's sister and brother and their families. What a great weekend!!!

Great pictures. 4th of july is the best. I can't get enough of it. I also don't scrapbook anymore either. Have you heard of the blurb.com you can totally publish your blog just like a scrap book. Anyway I love staying connected to you. You are so great.
I HATE not being there with all of you and all of the chaos I'm sure is there. Cute pictures and the last one of Kalli is adorable. Looks like you're all having a great time!
