Guess what we did this weekend?

4th of July!

We had lots of fun things to keep us busy this 4th of July. We started out our day bright and early by heading down to Provo to see the hot air balloons. They were amazing!
We got there too late last year, so it was fun to be able to see them all getting blown up and stuff. They are huge!
We went to the Provo parade after and had a great time hanging out with Joel's extended family.
Here are a few highlights of what we saw....
Trick horse riders!!! I don't think I really get the point of this now, but when I was little I sure wanted to be one of them! My sister Lindsay would teach me tricks on my little plastic bouncy horse Lol!
.....I can just imagine a conversation this young man might have had with his friends.....
Friend: "So what are you doing in the Parade again?"
Young Man: "ummmm.....I'm wearing a big blood drop suit...."
Sick!!!! He must have been bribed.
Isn't this car sweet!? I've never seen a snazzy copper penny paint job like that!
This guy was a very convincing Cpt. Jack Sparrow. The photo doesn't do him justice.
We also saw my good friend Abe :).
I had a very vivid dream once where I actually got to meet Abe Lincoln and shake his hand. Ever since then I've kinda felt like he's my buddy :).
In my dream, he was in a coffin wearing his famous black suit (only it was crocheted....haha). I shook his hand and I asked him "How come you were so cool when you were alive?!" He very seriously responded "Because I was part of the bow wow gang". And then the song "bow wow wow yippy yo yippy yea" started playing like back ground music.....
Ummm why does this High School band kid have a sword?

After a delicious dinner at the Smith's house we saw some fire works in Riverton. It was a great day!

It's Official!

We have the Internet!!!! ahhhhh I can pay bills in my PJs, look up recipes for dinner, and blog at 3am if I want....freedom, I love it. Speaking of that, happy Independence day tomorrow! I hope you get to see some of these.

We've been keeping busy with work and trying not to get sick. For some reason we've been getting sick pretty much once a month since we've moved.....I would like to know why, it's driving us both crazy. We bought a new lens a while back and it's been a dream to use, totally love it. We had to go down town to the FedEx place to pick it and just couldn't wait to use it. Here are a few we took.
