July 4th, 2015

We went to Utah for the 4th and had a lot of fun! Darin and Rachel were so kind to let us stay with them. We miss them! It was so great to catch up and meet sweet baby Wesley.

We got to meet up with lots of friends. All of whom we miss dearly. I got to spend lots of time with my family. Carson LOVES Grandma Alice. We went to the parade, J Dawgs, BYU, SLC and Temple Square. I got to go to the Stadium of Fire with my family. We got to see Jimett and her kids. We got to meet my niece Chloe. Cory got to golf with Dave. It was so great. 

We got stopped for 20 minutes on the way there for construction. So we took some selfies, of course.

We tried to get one of the 4 of us with the temple in the background. Apparently, we need a selfie stick.

Maddison had us over for a BBQ. She's the best.

Dave. Oh Dave.

Baby Chloe! She's 10 months and walking everywhere! She's the tiniest thing and has a BIG attitude. Super funny!

So my Mom is that crazy embarrassing lady at the parade. She waves and yells at everyone. She made a good pal with a young guy sitting near her. They teamed up and sang the entire Cougar Fight Song--long after the band had gone. They were both on their feet clapping and singing away--facing the crowd as the parade was taking place. I tried to bury my face. That's my Mom. I bet Jimett would have stood and joined in if she could have. She's holding up a 4 cause it's the 4th.

Eden gets the best seating.

The boys were so good for the car ride. Like so good. We had to stop a lot for Carson to pee on the side of the road. He loved "making mud" with this urine. We had a great trip!
