Independence Day!

We had a good holiday. We went to Vernal UT, were Jordan's mom lives. We got up sooo early at 9:00 am to go to the 10am parade! Wierd right? Who has a parade at 10am? Its was a little late and little to hot. We waited around for it to start, and at about 10:20 am the first police car drove by and that was so thrilling we decided to leave. Especially Lincoln who was having some kind of an alergic reaction to something. Since we were there for him and he was hating it, it was time to go. We went home, ate brunch and all took naps. It was pretty nice actually. This was the most exciting thing, the jets that flew by. Can't you tell how exciting?

Later, Lincoln enjoyed the hammock, which note to all mom's acts as great net to keep kids around. We had a nice and yummy BBQ in Jordan's Aunt Cheya's backyard. Did you know I also have a cousin named Cheya? Believe or not she was named after Jordan's Aunt Cheya who knew my Aunt Carol and Uncle Don when they lived in the California in the 70's. Well, who would have thought that like 30 years later their niece and nephew would get married! (that's me and Jordan if you're lost). Small world, and we didn't even know anything about them knowing eachother until Jordan met my cousin Cheya for the first time at Thanksgiving! Weird!
The best part would have to be Lincoln's reactions to the fireworks that night. Grandma Neen got some good candid shots!











I think we're both a little stunned here at what just happened.

I feel bad that the jets were so anticlimatic. But watching Lincoln at the fireworks definitely made up for all the waiting. What a face. It was just great having you all here and so hard to have you leave.
