4th of July week

 The fourth of July is one of the best holidays! This year our family had a weeks worth of fun.
On July 4th we went to Brennon's work on Tempe Town lake and watched the firework show from one of his conference rooms! the view was amazing. We got pizza and hung out before the show

By the time the firework show was about to start, the conference room was full! We had cousins come join us and it was so much fun. The girls played memory ate delicious rice krispy treats aunt Carianne brought, and waited patiently for the big show. It was will worth the wait and the fireworks were AMAZING! I wish I could have gotten some pictures but Tatum was adjusting to being out way past her bed time. We loved loved loved the firework show!
The day after the fourth we headed straight to my famlies house in Heber for their fourth of July weekend. The girls love it at Grandma Crandell's house. Here they are just enjoying the weather and each other.
Grandma made navajo tacos the first night! My favorite. Bailey and Paige helped Grandma make the dough. So good!

Loving Grandma's house!

Playing on the swing.

Grandma spoiled the girls with lots of goodies and popsciels.
Bailey loved holding her sparklers!

Hayden was a little scared. She would only hold a sparkler with me helping.


Andy put on a wonderful mini firework show for us.

Everyone enjoying his show.

The next day was Heber's 4th of July parade. Every one was so excited!

Bailey loved squirting the people in the parade.
While everyone was busy soaking eachother Hayden was the smart one and ate all of the candy. Silly girl.
After the parade the boys got in a huge water fight and got soaked. Thanks Carianne for the pictures I stole from your blog!

Enjoying our new home

We have lived in our new home for a few months and we have loved every minute of it. I told Brennon that my life has become so much easier! The girls love there home so much! 
Brennon got the girls basketballs to play in the front yard. He is already determined to turn them into basketball players:)

Bailey trying to shoot the basketball.

Playing ball and our new house.


Playing in the back yard.

Hayden's favorite thing to do is dig holes in the dirt. :) So much to do in the back yard. It is going to be fun!

Bailey riding her bike. Sorry about the boxes. Those are a few left over from the move.


Tatum Mae, she is my doll. She is 10 months and is such a joy. Tatum weighs 17 pounds. She lets her sisters do her hair and spray water on her. She doesn't even fuss! She is such a sweet heart. She loves her mom and will crawl around the house all day looking for her if she had to. She is learning to stand up all by herself. She is growing up so fast. I just love her chubby cheeks and chubby legs. She doesn't like her baby food. She wants to eat whatever her sisters are having. She wants to be a big girl too. She loves to wave to people, and I swear she can say bye and dad, but that's just me:)
 We love our new home! We are already making memories and are excited for this new chapter in our lives.
