Happy Fourth!

With Independence Day being on a Monday this year, it felt like a four day celebration! Lots of traveling and fireworks, but so much fun! We ended the long weekend at a friends' house with a pool party & BBQ. Lots of yummy food and water! Lex decided to get brave and do canon bombs. Once he decided to do it, he just kept doing it over and over again. Isabel was like a fish. She was the last one out of the pool and even then I had to entice her out with treats! Now if I could just get them to learn how to swim!








The fireworks were amazing this year. I think it was partly due to Utah's law allowing aerials. Shane helped some of the kids light a few fuses. Some of the neighbors shared on some really great firework boxes and these put on an amazing show for everyone.

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
