I love a parade!

Happy July! This is my favorite month of all! First, the 4th, then my birthday, then the 24th, besides all the swimming and BBQs, bonfires, etc. It's a great time of year! To start off this July right my family (meaning my Mom, Dad and Cindy) came up from Roswell for a little visit...

Here's the sisters! We were eating at a little yogurt place in Spanish Fork... very tasty!

We took Wendy and Cindy to the BYU art museum to see the Walter Wick display. It is so fun!

Me and the boys at the Balloon launch. This is one of our own traditions we started a couple years ago. The balloons are so big!

Lots and lots of balloons! The boys love to watch the fire blast into the balloons.

Another tradition... going to the 4th of July parade! We are sitting on the grass, under a tree, watching the parade- perfect!

We also walked around the Court house to see all the little booths and do all the fun free things. The boys liked the race cars, the Star Wars guys, the big bouncy slides, the pioneer gun display and the Snakes!

This is the giant python- 15 feet long and SO heavy! Sorry, you have to look carefully to see the snake...

We also watched one of Zach's old students sing and while I forgot to get a picture of her I did get a picture of these guys- Truman is their band's name. They are the sons of one of the members of Diamond Rio who is a member of the church... They go to BYU and they were really good!

To finish off our 4th, we BBQed at Zach's parent's house and then walked over to the temple grounds to watch the fireworks from Stadium of Fire. This Zach's artistic rendition of a firework... actually it's just a photo of one of the Stadium of Fire ones. The pictures come out pretty cool!
