4th of july

I love the 4th of July! This year we didn't really get to celebrate it too much because we were working on the house. We did go to James and Susi's annual party the night before the 4th! It was fun! There was lots of family and friends there to visit with! And the fireworks were wonderful as always!

On the actual 4th we worked on the house and then watched the Hyrum fireworks from...OUR BACKYARD! Yep, you heard me!! We can see the fireworks from our new backyard!! I was SO happy! Party at our house next year!

 Saturday we worked on the house, did some shopping, my parent's came up and we went to dinner and then over the car show parade. And then we spent 1.5 hours at Lowes...story of our life lately! HA! I love it though!

First we saw the back of truck at the car show parade...which is gross....

Then we saw this father covered his young son's eyes. They were right behind it the entire time! Poor dad had to cover his kids eyes the entire parade!! Everyone clapped for the dad. Do you think the kid got car sick??

What a week! Grateful to live in this country and enjoy all the freedoms we have!! And I'mg grateful for all of you!!

we bought a house!!

That's right!! We are homeowners!! We have been for over a week now! We are SOOO excited!! Before we move in we are going to remodel the bathroom. There was carpet in the bathroom...no thank you! Goodbye pee carpet! Right now it is COMPLETELY destroyed!! HA! We are really close to being able to build it back up. We are redoing the plumbing...which we weren't planning on doing at first but decided we better. I can't wait to start getting things back together! We also discovered we have real hardwood floors underneath all the carpet upstairs. WOOT! We are going to sand it and re-stain it. We are stoked! Plus, it will save us some moolah!!

So far we haven't had too many surprised. We did find some ugly linoleum underneath the carpet. I will take that over mold!

In other happenings....our friends Andy and Danielle got married! It was a lovely wedding and they both looked sharp! We are so happy for them! We never thought Andy would get married!!

I was also able to get together with my old college roommates last week! Rachelle is moving to North Carolina and Kourtney is moving to Nebraska. Both of them are moving at the end of the summer so we got together for dinner before we all departed ways! It was so wonderful to see them! I love those girls so much! Kourtney's son, Boston, took the first picture. I wish it wasn't blurry but I still love it!

That's all folks! Most of our time is spent at the house getting things ready! I will post some more pictures, like the bullet hole we found in the floor, next week!!
