July 4th Parade

It's oh so nice to wake up on the 4th and know that you don't have to fight the crowds or all their cars to watch the parade. yup!! get up in the morning set out some blankets. Our chairs and enjoy the piece and quiet before every one gets there. I don't get to sit and read very often so this was a treat for me... it was still cool and their was just a slight breeze.......Perfect!!!!

but before long the families lined the street. That's Mike and Cam at the end of the drive way.

family and friends love our shady lawn.

Haylee and poor Chester didn't like all the loud sirens but the rest of the parade was great.

working out a game plan......"We have to get as much candy as we can"

I was just siting there helping Chester when the Syr.. Cheerleaders threw this shirt to me.

But since Grady :) decorated Jeff's shirt I gave the shirt to him.

After the parade is the fun part.....BREAKFAST!!!!!!!....we all just bring something to eat. this year Dad and I brought muffins from Great Harvest breads and every one else brought juice and fruit......yummy.

Feeding the Kids first..

Parker and family were IN the parade..... So now he's waiting for his breakfast.

So what is it we do Best?.......WE EAT!!!

And EAT... (good thing it's cool because our door was open the whole time.)

Even the smallest of the family is enjoying his breakfast.

We also like to talk......

and eat.....Any way it was a fun morning, but we still missed the Gregory's, the Florida Nixon's, and the Orem Nixons. It's always more fun when they're here.
