4th of July

For the 4th of July we stuck with the same ole tradition, the Granite Parade then swimming. This year Anna sat on the float with Grandpa Moyes and the Moyes cousins. She loves being in the parade and throwing out candy.

The Romero/Whipperman's wanted in on the fun too so they came up with their own float.

Patrick was Willy Wonka
Ezra is the real life Charley,
but didn't want on the float.


Then on to more enjoyable things, swimming.
Having Sawyer and Ryder here, Anna gets braver and jumped off the waterfall and the 8 foot rock wall.


Going down the slide was also a first for her this time.

One of the cutest little guys around, Ezra loves to swim as well.

Meet Aurora

I'm just documenting the fact that I have let my child have a pet. We own a goldfish named Louie, or as Anna calls him...Bubbly. No pictures of the fish.

Also, I caved when all the neighbor kids came home from Thanksgiving Point with a chicken. I strongly disagreed, but once I talked to my sister-in-law, who has lots of chickens already said she would take it once it got bigger and the novelty of the whole thing went away, I let Anna have one too. The neighbor's chickens died within a few days. Aurora is getting big and now living on the farm.



Anna was so excited to have a chicken, I caught her whispering to herself, "I just can't believe it, I have a real chicken."
She was really cute and I did become a little attatched to her. We would take her outside and go on walks with her. She would follow us around the block, never wandering away or straying off. If I put my hand down, she would jump in and just stay close. It was kind of fun!
I'm still not giving into getting a dog!!
