July and August

WARNING:  There are far too many pictures on this post... much like the previous one.

We spent our Independence day in St. George this year, just our little family.  It was blazing hot, but we had a really good time anyway.  We went to the parade (super pathetic... it turns out we were at the end of the parade and the floats had gotten sooo spaced out. We waited for like 5 minutes in between some of them... or most of them, and then they had all run out of candy.  It was really sad)

We spent our morning and evenings out doing stuff like the splash pad and pool and the rest of the time we hung out and watched movies and took naps :)

8 months pregnant...

 Jonny's first time experiencing fireworks!

 I think we were more excited than he was.

That sunday we went for a little drive to the Mountain Meadows massacre site and walked up to the monument there.  

We also visited the Brigham Young winter home and the Jacob Hamblin home. It was a great trip.  Thanks again Aaron and Janet for letting us use the St. George home.

 When we got back, this project awaited us...

 

You did a great job babe.  Thanks for making our condo feel like home.

While our floors were torn up we went to spend some time in Oakley with cousins.

 Jonny loved playing with the hose and wouldn't let the other kids have a turn...

  

 Just a normal Sunday, come home from church and take a nap :)  I promise I didn't pose Jonny with his Jesus picture and Book of Mormon.  I walked into his room to check on him and found him like this... I about died!
