4th of July Festivities

Before I get into all the pictures I just want to say how grateful I am to the men and women who have/are serving in the military I am so grateful for all that they have done for us so that we can live in this free country! I love this country and I feel so blessed to be able to live here. The fourth of July is my favorite holiday for that reason, and because of fireworks of course.

We actually started our festivities on the 3rd, we had so much fun! We started the 3rd off with going to a sprinkler park in Memphis. It was a ton of fun we had to coax the kids into going into the water, at first they would just put their hands in. but by the end they were really enjoying it. I had never been to this sprinkler park and I must admit I thought it would have been bigger than it really was. I think I must have just been spoiled. In Rexburg we had a really fun and fairly big sprinkler park. So I was expecting this one to be even bigger, We had a ton of fun though! Here are the boys at the sprinkler park!

They had a really fun playground there too and the boys really liked the swings ( Well Krew liked them much more than Gray, Gray liked them for a bout a min and then decided he was done!)

Swinging next to each other.

Cool dude!!!

My sweet and wonderful boys

That night we decided to go to our very first baseball game together to see the Redbirds. Krew was soooooo excited he brought his baseball bat and his baseball glove and couldn't wait till we got there. Until we walked in and he realized that he wasn't going to be the one playing baseball, he was REALLY disappointed. But he did get to pretend to play baseball with a bunch of his friends that had come, so he felt better.

Me with my 3 baby boys!

3 of my boys!

Gray was So excited about the game he just couldn't keep it in!!

Krew loving being at a baseball game!!

All of us together watching the game! And our team won YAY!!

After the game they had firworks Krew didn't like them very much because they were really loud. They set them off right on the field, we even had a few ashes fall on us. I LOVED IT!!

Gray loved it too he wouldn't take his eyes off of them. It was really fun and I'm glad we were able to go the only thing that might steer us away from next year is the fact that we waited in line in the parking garage for an hour and a half just to go home.

Here's our family pictures on the 4th!! All of us decked out in red, white and blue!!

We went swimming and had a bbq with a bunch of friends from our ward. It was a BLAST!!! We had so much fun. We have gone swimming a couple of times already this summer and decided Krew needed floaties bcs he kept wanting to jump in by himself and swimming by himself. Those have been such a wonderful purchase, He LOVES it and he's really good at swimming now. Its a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because now I don't worry about him, and bad because now I don't worry about him!

After the swimming and bbq We went and watched fireworks. We had so much fun and glad that we have good friends here to help us have fun since we weren't able to spend the 4th with family as planned. We love you Cannon family and pray for you all every day!!
