4th of July fun!

We love the Hyrum City Parade, it's tradition in our family to go since we've been doing it since I was Emmy's age years ago.  Traditionally the Hyrum wards would each do a float for the parade, and the stake decided to invite wards to do it again, several of them did it and it was great. I hope they continue to do so!  My parent's ward did Captain Moroni and the "Title of Liberty" along with a handcart representing our pioneers! I loved this float, it was completely fitting for the 4th of July and also because the used my dad's "Title of Liberty flag" he made years ago!   My kids loved Picking up candy, and throwing fireworks. My mom is amazing, even though she was tired from getting Reed's wedding together, she still brought the chairs up to save our spot and bought bags of candy which she does every year to throw out to the kids from behind so afterwards they come home with handfuls and handfuls of treats! 

Reed's wedding was the very next day and we all had to get up early to be there. My mom wasn't planning on going to the parade, but when I called and said..."what you're not going to save a spot...but you do every year!" She totally came through for us, because she knew how much we love it and how much our kids love it...mom thanks for all you do and for loving us so much, we are so blessed to have you!

 Lance and Emmy walked home together. He is the sweetest Uncle. Lance thanks for being so amazing to my little ones, they love you unconditionally!  Emmy "en vogue" with her cute little sunglasses, still by Lance's side!
