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 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.
