Let the good times roll...

One of the reasons that we went to Utah, was to be there for my mom's surprise birthday party. It was a huge success and she was really surprised!!!

We also wanted to be there for my dad's birthday. For him we did a surprise outdoor movie theatre. For those of you that know my dad, you know that he LOVES movies! So we decided to set up a movie in our backyard with a projector and concessions. It was tons of fun!!

You can see the concession stand that Cassie made. It was a great night!

One of the fun things about Utah is that each city has their own weekend where they have a celebration during the summer. They have parades, carnivals, booths, concerts and fireworks. We had to go to the parade. Here are Brent and Keagan getting front row seats.

Brent throwing us the goods! In the background you can see Karlie getting candy with Keagan on her hip! Love it!

Waiting for more candy!

Hanging with Grandma and Grandpa

Even dad got into it! Lets just say that Dad and Karlie scored Keagan a TON of candy! This was also the moment that Keagan fell in love with horses. There were tons of horses in this parade and now Keagan wants to look at horses ALL THE TIME. He wakes up neighing and doesn't stop all day! This parade changed his life... :)!

the fourth!

For the 4th of July, we were at my parents house. We started off the day at a carnival that my mom helped put on. It was tons of fun, but sadly, I forgot to bring my camera! Here is Kinsey before we left...

After nap time, we went to Grandma Julee's for a backyard BBQ. It was lots of fun! Keagan loved playing in the grass...

...and Grams couldn't get enough of the little angel!

After the BBQ, we went to the park to watch some fireworks. They were Keagan's first fireworks. He started out watching them with Grandma and Grandpa....

... but that only lasted about 5 seconds and then he wanted mommy. He was ok as long as I covered his ears for the next 10 minutes....

... but by the end he LOVED them!!! He was giggling and laughing and was bummed when they ended!

Kinsey had fun hanging out with Daddy.

This is how Kinsey survived the fireworks. She was an angel.

Grandpa Steve came out for Kinsey's blessing and the weekend of the 4th. It was great seeing him.

We had a great 4th of July!!! We are so grateful to all of the military families and all they do for our country!

Blessing

I know it has been awhile since I have posted! We were visiting my family for the last month. It was so much fun. While we were there we were able to bless our little Makinsey. Here are some pictures.
