4th of July

  We had such an amazing and fun 4th of July, even though we had to scale it back a little.  We decided this year that Korie would not be up to doing both the parade and the fireworks so we opted to cut back and just do the firework show in Kaysville with the Staten family.
  The day started off really early with Spencer running his first 5k with his sister (Becky) in Centerville at 7:00 in the morning.  He did really well with a finish time of 32 minutes.  All of us were really proud of him.  We then had a relaxing day with the kids, going to Red Robin for lunch and then over to save places for the firework show. 
  The fireworks were so much fun this year.  Spencer splurged and bought all the kids the glow in the dark light sabers, and while we waited at the park we were treated to a preshow of martial art light sabering techniques.
  During the fireworks Zach decided that he didn't want to watch the fireworks at all, but really just wanted to dance in the dark to the music.  His dance moves might need a little work, (Spencer got a little ribbing about him teaching Zach everything he knew about dancing), but it was fun and hilarious to watch him enjoy the music.  (The man in front of us, that he kept falling into, might not have shared this opinion)

What a crazy week!!  more details to come :)

**favorite comments of the day:

Zach to Uncle Josh
Zach:  "You have beards on your legs too like uncle Chad"

Mason to me:
Mason: I know why the electric light sabers can't fold into the handle
Me: Why?
Mason: because there are wires that would break if it did.

Ethan to anyone:
Ethan: "This was the best 4th of July ever"


** favorite action of the day

I told Ethan that he couldn't hug me because I was just too hot and couldn't have his body heat add to my heat.  The next thing I knew he was handing me a home made fan that he had quickly made so I could cool myself off.  (What a sweetheart!)

Thanks mom for taking this wonderful picture :)  lol!
