4th of July

And here we are to July already! Where is time going! Our 4th of July weekend was busy (and I don't have pictures...DOH!), but the kids had fun and that's what it's all about right? We started off Friday night going up to the "B" for a little bit of 4-wheeling, then going to West Bountiful's fireworks. Then Saturday afternoon we went down to my Grandpa Sagers house. He lives RIGHT next to BYU's stadium (just to the north), and since he passed away in December, my mom and her siblings have been sorting through the belongings in the house and getting the house ready to put on the market. Well, it's almost ready, and since we grew up always going down to Provo for the 4th of July and listening to the Stadium of Fire performances in the backyard (you can see the screen from his backyard) and watching the fireworks, we decided to have a "last hurrah" with the extended family. We went down, cleaned a little bit, had tons of food, played games, and were going to stay for the fireworks, but then my cousin decided to show up with their kids that had all been throwing up all night the night before (don't ask me why....I was TICKED they showed up and weren't considerate enough to keep the kids home AWAY from everyone else!) So, needless to say, as soon as they showed up, we packed up and left since I didn't really want to take my chances and we had to miss the fireworks. Luckily we got home in time to see Eaglewood's fireworks, so we went out to our back deck and had a perfect view! The kids had fun watching the fireworks all over the valley! Sunday, we went to church, put the kids down for naps and packed! When the kids woke up, we went out the Scott's parents house for dinner and another night of fireworks and a sleepover. Brayden started his infamous "cough" (see previous post) about 7:00 that night, and was coughing all night. All 5 of us were in one room at his parents house, and with Brayden coughing, none of us were sleeping well, so Scott finally got up at 3:30am and drove home to get his inhaler. Needless to say, we were all very tired the next morning! Monday morning we went to Scott's parent's ward's breakfast, then the boys went back and started packing to go camping/4-wheeling for the night. The boys took off, and us girls stayed for a "girls night". Tuesday was spent at the Discovery Gateway Museum and outside, while the boys had fun 4-wheeling and getting rained on! All in all, the kids were absolutely EXHAUSTED, but enjoyed the weekend! This is going to be one CRAZY busy month!
