4th of July Weekend

Friday night we headed up to Logan, to my brother

Jason's house. Their boys were gone, but Ella was

home, Karli & Chris came (with their girls of course), plus

Jason had invited some friends from work and their families,

so there was no lack of children around to play with.

Jason cooked up a great BBQ, everyone brought dishes to share

and LeAnne was a great host as usual, provided all the other necessities,

including HOMEMADE ice cream! The weather was perfect

and it was great to just sit around, eat, chat and relax.

Thanks you guys for a GREAT start to our weekend!!

***************************

Ame got to be in a parade BRIGHT & EARLY (after a late night)

Saturday morning, with her dance group Studio 48.

It was in Riverdale, the city we use to live in.

The parade there is just right.

Enough to get the kids excited and filled

with a bunch of candy, but not too long that it last FOREVER. Grandma Frankie recently returned from a trip

out East and brought all the boys back shirts

that say FUTURE PRESIDENT.

Our 4th was actually pretty low key.

We had pizza and did our own fireworks at home.

Ash missed the excited fireworks.

He retired b4 it all began.

2 late nights and early church doesn't do

well for a little two year old boy!

He didn't even know what he missed :)

(Again no pics) Sunday afternoon we headed the other

direction to QUinn's mom's in Provo for another celebration.

Our nephew/cousin Koa turned 18 so we had a relaxed

BBQ and hang out for him. It's always an entertaining

and fun time to be with the Hanamaikai family.
