Happy 4th of July!

Over the past few years, the 4th of July has really become one of my favorite holidays. I think it's a great time to reflect about how extremely blessed we are to live in such a wonderful country and to have all of the freedoms that we do. I love America and am continually grateful for all the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for our country.

To celebrate the 4th of July this year, we went with our friends Mike and Heidi Johnson to a parade in Kaysville. Note to self: fire truck sirens, 100 degree weather and a hungry, tired 5 month old do not mix. We did have a good time hanging out with the Johnsons though and love that they live so close!

Later that evening, we met up with the Johnsons again at Franklin Covey field and watched the Salt Lake Bees. (Baseball on the 4th of July...it doesn't get much more American than that!) There were fireworks after the game, which was a great way to end the day.
