a peek at the 4th weekend

Yeah for family being in town on a holiday! My sister Melanie and her clan were in Bountiful for a few days with her in-laws before they headed out with them to Bear Lake. I was able to snag some time with them before they took off.what's a 4th without a little parade... Annabelle loved it. I don't know how she didn't get clobbered with all the other kids charging for free candy... salt water taffy= apparently the cheapest candy out there because that's pretty much all there was!sistas!... In case you couldn't tell!we also stopped by the cemetary to pay a visit to Joshua, my nephew's grave. He is Caleb's twin. It was nice and tender to be there with the family. After the parade in Centerville, I headed to the pool with my friend Ashlee. We cleaned ourselves up and met up with others for a nice quaint dinner with more friends at Normandie's in Holladay. Following our 4 course meal, we headed to my house to get front row seats to the Holladay fireworks. It was the perfect location. We sat on my balcony and the fireworks were shot off in the field right across the street from me. We had purchased some sparklers that they called "color sparklers" at the stand... stay away! These things are explosive! I have quite a nice burn which people at work today even asked me what it was... not to mention a few added layers in my hair from it being singed off due to another particular flying off said sparklers... sketch!


Jess and I cooked up some dinner for Melanie and family on the actual 4th. It was Annabelle's birthday on the 2nd, so my dessert was a birthday cake for her.
