it could have been a package deal. having my first born....on my 
favorite holiday! my family reminds me every year on parker's birthday; the 
3rd of july and then again on the 
4th, that i should have held out. should have waited one more day to call dr. huish in pain, begging him to induce me! i just figure now i get to celebrate the 
red, white and blue two days in a row! every morning grandma makes the kids breakfast. this summer since it was a little cooler than the usu. 
hot cocoa and toast was the favorite.
 roller coaster rides
roller coaster rides in the mountains! of course given by uncle parker, the biggest kid of them all.


a little 
mud football....ok a lot.



then the little ones showed them how to really get 
muddy! and of course the dad's eventually joined in.



then they got a bright idea....to clean off in the 
creek in the "clean" water. 


after showers, we dressed in our 
4th of july best, cabin style. had a 
bbq, and then headed for the 
fireworks in payson....which was the first event to take place on the
 lebaron family reunion schedule! we took a head count before, and delivered special firework treats! 

making one very important 
pit stop on the way! it was short but sweet-love these guys, and their sweet baby ivish.  how spoiled are we. 4th of july spent with family 
and close friends, in the most perfect weather. 




payson has a great 
firework show. we attend yearly, and i love the small town feel. this very large house across the street from the pond where the fireworks are set off, always has 
patriotic music blasting. i love it. word is....it's very comparable to the show they put on at the stadium of fire. lol.
