We had a great 4th of July weekend. Jared's sister Marie and her fiance Jeff came down to hang out with us. We started the festivities on Friday night by doing some fireworks. The kids LOVE sparklers. 
They loved watching Jared and Jeff light ground flowers and fountains, too. We only had one tiny incident which caused us to be a bit more careful, leaving a small burn on one of the blankets... other than that we had a fun time.
On Saturday, we went to breakfast at the home of some friends. It was a bit early for us after being up late the night before, but it was great! We ate breakfast casseroles, waffles, fruit... all kinds of great tasting stuff. The kids played forever in their huge backyard, and Jared played a little Ping Pong. Later on, we went to Jana and Brad's for a BBQ. Yum!!! It was fun to be with the family and eat great food. Jodie and Corey came home from the hospital with their new baby and even made an appearance at the BBQ. (I'll post some pictures of their new little cutie soon.) Then we went to the fireworks in Pleasant Grove. I was hoping for a little bit bigger show for our Virginia family members. Utah really does have some great fireworks, but PG must have been on a budget. They were still good, and we had fun! I love the 4th of July. I'm a very patriotic person. I love the country we live in, and I'm proud to be an American!

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest family pic EVER! And I LOVE your hair dark, you look beautiful. Glad you guys had fun!
Glad you guys had fun. those are some cute pics of the family. Your hair looks pretty good that dark.
Great pictures. I miss doing fireworks! You can only do pops here in AZ. No fountains, no ground flowers, no sparklers. Hmmmm......pretty boring, but we did go and see a firework show at a high school nearby, so at least there is something to see. Glad you guys had fun! I love your family picture and your hair looks quite cute Jen. You can pull of the dark hair. I could never do that. Love ya!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!! This year we only made it to dogwood dell just as the fireworks were starting. We thought they might scare Mason, but she actually loved them and kept clapping! We missed you guys though. Last year was so much fun! Do you think you'll visit over the 4th next year? Jen, your hair looks great!
I really hope we can come next year. We'll keep our fingers crossed!
