Fourth of July fun!

The fourth started out with a nice relaxing bbq at Rigby Lake with one of our favorite families (the Paul fam) and one of our favorite brothers- Steven. We didn't get in the frigid glacier water but we enjoyed a delicious feast of bratwurst and burgers, threw around a frisbee, and...
...relaxed. This is Dave, Amber, Addyson, Deedee, and Steven left to right. Addyson is such a babe!Then we went back to the Paul's house and had a much needed car wash- we all chipped in. After car wash fun was over, we played a good game of PIG, I lost because I stink. It's ok though, obviously my hunny still loves me.


After a nap, we all packed into a car and drove up to Idaho falls to join an old mission companion of Deedee's at her huge family barbeque. More dogs, burgers, and shish-kabobs! Delicioso!
We had way too much fun for one day and all crashed at the party. Dave and I are sleeping on each others' arms- we share like that.
No we didn't make this beauty, but we would have claimed it if they would have let us! We all were so excited to have some, but by the time dessert rolled around we were all too stuffed to muster the energy to muscle one more down!

We had a great time watching the fireworks. Addyson sat on my lap the whole time and oo'd and ahh'd with the rest of us. She's so cute! We love this family! Ah- good people.

We are grateful for our country and the independence we live with every day. The right to make our own decisions is counted in some of our greatest blessings. How lucky we are to live so free.
May we be ever grateful for life, love, and our ability to pursue happiness.
May God continue to bless America!
The land we love.
