Summertime

I finally pulled some pictures off my camera. We will start with a summer catch-up.

When I came home from YW one night in early June, I came home to a little boy with a band-aid on his head. Jefferson wasn't exactly sure what happened, but thinks Lincoln fell into the corner of the entertainment cabinet. It was a pretty big cut, but all we did was neosporin and band-aids. And then some scar medicine. He does has a small scar :)


I went with the youth to Logan to do baptisms.


4th of July (on the 3rd). This year the 4th was on a Sunday which meant a weekend full of celebrating. On Saturday Kaysville city had their big celebration so we started the day at the Porters for breakfast and then went to the parade. Mitchel was doing all the sound for the carnival/Kaysville Idol/fireworks for his Eagle Project so his family was there early and had some good spots for the parade. Lincoln had a good time walking around with his sunglasses on! He like the fire trucks and police motorcycles. We got lots of candy and toys. The Kaysville parade is definitely a crazy parade.



That night was fireworks at Eaglewood Golf Course with my family. July 3 is Taryn's birthday and it's become the family tradition to do fireworks that night. Jefferson had to help Mitchel with the sound for the Kaysville fireworks so Lincoln and I went by ourselves. Grandpa was a trooper and ran around the golf course with Lincoln before the fireworks started. Lincoln liked the fireworks and still calls them boom's.

Monday was the Layton city celebration. We went to the parade which wasn't nearly as long or as crazy as Kaysville's. We got decent seats for just showing up and saved spots for the Ganges and Grandma Porter. We had a good time just sitting and watching the parade (instead of running in the streets for candy and prizes).
