Our 4th of July started out bright and early waking up at 5 am to go to Provo for the Balloon fest! My mom flew in from Pennsylvania on Sunday night and was such a good sport for getting up so early with us. Sadly, it was too windy for any of the balloons to go up!!
Here is Blake checking out Smokey Bear with Grandpa!
And as you can see, Brynn still hates Smokey!! This is the closest she would get. The funny thing is that the day before, she was telling us how excited she was to see Smokey and that she loved him...not true!!
My mom and I :)
Then in the afternoon, we had my sister and her family, Uncle Bill, and cousin Dan over for a little BBQ! Cameron and Brynn had a blast swimming in the little pool, and we all had fun eating and playing bocce in the backyard. We had a lot of fun spending time with family, but my kids are suffering today from lack of sleep...they are so grumpy! Hopefully everyone recovers soon!!
Last week Jesse surprised me with 4 tickets to stadium of fire! We have always wanted to go together, and he bought tickets the day they came out and waited until a few days before to tell me about it. We brought our friends Michelle and Jaron, and had a great time! It was so nice to have a late night out without the kids!!
Jesse is currently working at Fetzers Architectural Woodwork. He graduated from UVSC 3 years ago in aviation, and is planning on starting an aerial photography business sometime in the near future. In his spare time (which is very sparce) Jesse enjoys any projects around the house involving power tools, watching "How it's Made" or "Myth-Busters", and just about anything involving FIRE, and most of all, playing with his little girl Brynn!
About Laura
I have been a stay at home mom since October 2008, which is the hardest, most rewarding job I have ever had! Before that, I worked as an academic advisor at Utah Valley University for 6 years. I have my masters degree from Utah State University in Psychology, and also have my school counseling license which I plan on using in the future. But for now, I spend my time playing with Brynn, coupon shopping, going to yard sales, and trying to be more domestic every day!! I enjoy canning, and am looking forward to learning how to sew! I also teach FREE coupon classes for SavvyShopper if anyone is ever interested!
