I really love the 4th of July. There are always friends and family around and usually some yummy bbqs. This year we celebrated twice. First on Saturday we went to my parent's neighborhood swim/ bbq party. Then that same night we headed over to my grandpa's house in Provo. He has the best backyard ever, it looks right into BYU's stadium. So we could hear Carrie Underwood singing, and of coarse the fireworks are in perfect view.
Abbi and Reese are getting a better view of the stadium.
Then on Monday we had a super fun time getting together with friends and having another bbq, and lighting fireworks.
Brynn found a fluff and tried for some time to blow off each individual fluff.
You would think I have only one outfit but really I just love wearing stripes to make my belly look even bigger!! I should really think before I hop in a picture with these tiny girls!
This was after 4 other attempts to get them to look at me. This one at least shows all of their cute faces a little bit.
And these jokers made these faces in all of their pictures. It was really funny.
Last week we had Andy's family stay with us for a family reunion. We had so much fun, and did a few things that our family has never done. There are a billion pictures, but I had to get a few from each day. Monday we went to Bridal Veil falls and Park City, Tuesday to the Young Living farm, Wednesday we hiked the Grotto trail to a very cool waterfall, Thursday we went swimming, and Friday we went to the Bean museum and to the park.
Last month my neighbors threw me a baby shower. It was so nice because even though this is ANOTHER girl, it's great to have a few new things for her to wear.
I love girls' night. We went to see Eclipse on opening night, but we don't just go and see the movie. We make it an excuse to go out and do whatever. Trisa and I were able to meet up early and get some dinner, do some shopping, and we even watched another movie before Eclipse. Karen was able to make it later in the night, but it was really nice because we had reserved seats so we walked into our theater at 11:55 and we didn't have to worry. It was a really fun night.

My parents flew home on July 1st from their mission to Denmark. My dad was serving as mission president there, my mom as mission mom, and my little sisters were able to go to an incredible international school that took them on field trips all over Europe. It's been a little over a week now having them back, and it's been really great to have them around again. 
Mom and dad wanted me and my sister to take off their name tags since they were no longer missionaries.
