We started by decorating scooters and bikes, making pin wheels and having a parade!
Afton had her 4th finery on
Weston had his scooter decorated to a T
Even Nick got in on the action riding in a fancy wagon!
Here's the whole line up- babies and all.
After the parade, we made korky ribbon bows (who knew you could bake ribbon?)
Made mango sorbet- delicious and I don't even like mangos!
AND, made cake pops!
How ambitious are we? The boys played out side with all the kids in the sprinklers and had a blast.
On the morning of the 4th, we had french toast (which Zach found ironic, but then he wanted to make Swedish pancakes :) and these cute little guys:
Tasty too!
Then we headed up town to the parade and for our traditional picnic lunch with Grandma Norviel.
It's so fun to have MY family here for all the parties! Weston and Cindy,
Bryson
Even Wendy came down for the weekend and went to Stadium of Fire with Mom and Cindy.
Afton had her flag shirt, her korky bow and tutu. Um, you think I like having a girl?
After the park we walked around the fair, got Brazilian lemonade, new sunglasses for Zach, and watched some Irish dancers. That night we went to Pleasant Grove, had pizza at the park behind Kobi's, watched the Pleasant Grove fireworks AND lit the BRUNO. Giff's prize aerial firework he purchased at the great price of $40... We had a count down, drum roll, a little chanting of "bruno, bruno, bruno" and then it exploded into the night air. Yep, it was pretty cool. :)

Wow, it has been a while since I have been blogging! Afton is growing up! She is adorable :) So, I have my ankle all wrapped up for who knows how long since I hurt it prepping for my marathon last year. I will probably need surgery after the baby is born. I guess that is the price I pay for being stubborn and running on it while it was injured!
