Our 4th of July

We had a pretty good 4th of July. We woke up and went to the Provo parade which was pretty festive of us. We both agreed that even though it was blazing hot and we had to sit on the road with no shade or chairs, that we liked going to the parade because that is what people do on the 4th of July.  It makes it an actual holiday instead of just another day off work. We went to the parade with my dad and two little brothers. We didn't make it through the whole parade but I felt we gave it our best shot.

This is like a really good picture of Chase. Everyone should appreciate this picture because Chase NEVER makes a normal face for pictures. I am sure you all have seen what I am talking about, just look at the picture a couple above this one which is actually pretty decent too. He is getting so old! I love having this kid around he always keeps life exciting. My dad purposefully put him in a bright green shirt so we could spot him easily. Just in case.

Oh and we changed our puppy's name from Mya to Mika. At first I was opposed, but I am used to Mika. It actually fits her quite well. She is a fire cracker.  Everyone pray we can get her potty trained!

Amanda and I. We live really close to the BYU football stadium so close we could charge $20 for someone to park in our driveway. Our friends invited us over for a BBQ earlier that night. We ate kabobs that were so delicious. After dinner we came to our house to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks on our roof. We had the most perfect angle that made for an amazing view. We could hear the beach boys and the songs to the fireworks as well. Glad we got to see the fireworks that close at least one time. This is our last month living at this house.

Happy 4th
