Hangin' With Our MV Peeps

There's something heart warming and comfortable about hanging out with old friends. :)
Welcome to Utah, Jeff and Amy!

Happy 4th!

This year our friends had a block party/BBQ, so we chowed down with all of our neighbors and set off a ton of fireworks!


Finding red, white and blue outfits for them to wear was no easy task. I never realized how much their closet is a sea of pink and purple!


This was the first year since we've had kids that we've actually set off our own fireworks. Melia was scared to hold the sparklers at first, but once she figured out that they really do go out before they burn your hand, she loved them! Jeananne became her sparkler "dealer". The second one went out, she went back for another. She must have done over 20 of them herself!


Naiya did really well with everything. I thought she might be scared of the loud ones, but she stayed entertained all the way til 9:30! (The next day wasn't so happy with two tired kiddos, but it was worth it.)
