My firecrackers

My girls sure keep me on my feet, literally! We only have a few pictures of the 4th of July. Steve has been working so much overtime and when he isn't working, he is at school or working on the basement. It was nice to have him home for a day. We raced up to our annual Tooele 4th of July parade. I love it. I love to see people I haven't seen in years and it is so fun.

It is always a fight between me and all the kids and this girl to see who can get the most candy.... I think I give them a run for their money...haha. We have enough candy to last us until Halloween for sure....we might even have to pass out the leftovers!

After the parade, there is a small community fun at the park with jump houses, games, food, and booths. Kiana loved the jump houses, of course, and she also talked Daddy into playing throw the ball for a fish. She did pretty good, getting a fish on her second toss. Daddy and Grandpa Mullins are suckers and also gave into Kiana getting 2 dwarf frogs and a carrier for them. She proudly named her fish Mama, and the frogs Baby Maide and Nana. Too bad Mama died and has already went to heaven via flush express.

We also visited home depot for the sales, got in a good nap, a BBQ from home, and went to see fireworks from the perfect spot at my parents house. You can see the Tooele fireworks, the Grantsville, and the Deseret Peak ones. It was beautiful, but we got eaten alive!

It was a nice, relaxing holiday that I was happy to share with my family!
