Happy 4th!

OK, so I know that the 4th was almost a week ago, but I'm still going to post this even though I'm really late.....
Anyways, Eric had to work on the 4th (and the rest of the weekend),so I ended up taking Sawyer to Burley. We bummed a ride from Aimee and took off to enjoy the holiday! Grandma and Grandpa Mitton bought Sawyer the cutest little life jacket so he could ride on the boat, but he ended up HATING it.


So we just let him ride without it.... (shhh, don't tell!)

After we rode up and down the river a couple of times, we headed out to another family get-together on my side. Sawyer got to meet his great-grandma & grandpa Duncan for the first time (and I didn't even get a picture). I was so glad that we had the chance to do that because we don't make it out there very often and we want Sawyer to know as much of his family as possible.
We didn't watch any fireworks this year since Sawyer was already asleep, but there's always next year! We had such a great time, but I think the best part was coming back home to Provo and being together as a family again.

I am so glad that we have to opportunity to live in the country and enjoy the freedoms that we do. To be able to believe and worship as we choose, and make our own decisions. I really think that we take for granted what so many others are denied, and I hope that everyone will take just a moment to remember the sacrifice that was made on our behalf, and remember the blessings that we all enjoy.
