Indpendence Day...let the festivities begin!

July 3, 2009 - This was the beginning of all of our fun. It is so nice to be back in Utah. They really don't do any celebrations in Arkansas, like they do here at home. We started of the weekend at the Spencer's house. We decorated the kids bikes and they rode in the Centerville childrens parade. After that, we went back up to Gary and Suzanne's for a cook out with the family. The night was capped off with fire works. It is so nice, because we can just sit on the back lawn and have a great fireworks show.

Annette made a great pinata...and the kids had a ball hitting it. My little nephew Garrett said to me, "After you hit that, then you get snacks!" It was so cute.

All the "little" cousins getting ready for the childrens parade in Centerville. There were millions of children. Thank goodness they got a yummy pace popsicle at the end!

Preston getting ready to go the parade. You can't see it in this picture, but crazy Rex put a funnel on his helmet and put flowers in it - everyone cheered for him!!

Tyler was so excited to ride - they all loved decorating the bikes! It was a wonderful fun filled night. It is so nice to be back home!
