Happy 4th of July!

We had a pretty calm 4th of July this year. Noah and Grams and Bampa all worked, so the kids and I were home alone during the day. We got a lot of laundry and cleaning done as well as preparing for Isaac's blessing.
For fireworks we took our yearly trip up to Georgetown, CO, which is a little town in the mountains where the fireworks roll down the canyon. We had a good time with our family and our friends.
The kids all loved the fireworks! Levi kept shouting, "This one is for Levi" and occasionally claiming them for other people. Ruby followed his lead, except she was stuck saying, "This one is for Bampa." Isaac watched for a little while and then was a little fussy so Noah had to stand up and rock him (thanks honey!).

The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love having a day devoted to feeling proud of our country and paying respect for the armed forces. We are so lucky to live somewhere that God prepared for the restoration of the gospel and where we are free to practice our religion. God Bless America.
