Happy 4th Of July!!

The fourth oj July is a fun holiday! Growing up I always got excited about this holiday because of the fireworks, entertainment, family and just having a good time. As long as I can remember Sandy has had a huge carnival filled with games, food and fun. It started out at the middle school and then moved over to a big open area behind super targert. It is a fun family tradion that I had growning up and Im excited that Tom and I want to make it one for our family. We started out our day at the mall, we were waiting to meet some friends for lunch so we decided to walk through the mall. Brindley loves to hold on to anything that I buy, she thinks that the bag is her purse. check out this cute picture.....
She is truly a girl!
After a fun lunch, Tom and I love driving around looking at houses. I don't really know why because we know that we have a beauitful home that we are grateful for . We just love looking. So brin took at about a 45min nap while we drove around alpine.
Then we decided to head up to Sandy for all the fun. My mom tagged along with us for the day. Im so glad she did, Brindley missed her Grandma. We let brin run around and look and touch all the things at the fun booths and then we had some early dinner. We then enjoyed a very entertaining Parade, followed by a fun firework show.

Its not very often that we get my sister around long enough to take a picture. She a busy 17 year old!!

I would say the day was successfully fun for little miss Brindley!!
I just want to say how grateful I am for living in the country I live in!! Sometimes I complain about the gas prices and other things. When there our many people wondering if they are going to eat. I need to be more grateful for the things that I am blessed with for living in the USA.
