4th of July 2008

Happy 4th of July! We hope that everyone had a great time. This is the first year that the kids have had a chance to see a really good fireworks show done for the public. The first year we were in Utah we went to the West Jordan City Fireworks show and were rained out. And before we moved to California we just watched backyard fireworks. Needless to say they were pretty excited and really enjoyed seeing the show. We joined the other half of my family up close to Denton, Texas for a little swimming, food and fun. There are so many kids on that side of the family that our kids had so much fun. Plus add to the fact that they are now fish instead of children, they loved the whole day. My parents had even come up to celebrate with us so that was really nice. I counted up the weekends that we will see them this month and I think it came to three, what a change to see them three times in the same month from maybe three times a year. We are so blessed that we had the opportunity to move back to Texas. The kids have really enjoyed spending more time with their grandparents.




Back to our fun holiday, of course since there was a pool the boys had to have a little water jumping fun, to see who could flip, turn and jump the best. At least they were entertaining to watch. Three of the guys conspired to “soak” the people who were not swimming. Since we are in Texas and it is pretty much always hot was not too bad, I was one of the people watching and not swimming. Overall we had a pretty good day, the obligatory, business party and then the fun family party made for a great time and a wonderful holiday.
