4th of July

I was hoping I would be in labor on the 4th of July, but that ship sailed. Even though we didn't get to have a baby, we had an amazing 4th of July weekend. We decided we had to go to the Rockies game for the fireworks show again this year since we had such a blast last year. Once again, it didn't disappoint. We went with our good friends Mike and Emi and Trevor's dad came too. We love being able to go down on the field and see the show, and surprisingly the Rockies won.

On the actual 4th we had a ward breakfast in the morning where Trevor cooked over 300 pancakes! It was lots of fun but HOT. It was almost 90 degrees by 11 am. We then headed over to Trevor's parents house and saw Transformers 3- we highly recommend it. After that we met up with my family and had dinner at CPK. After that, we headed up to Lookout Mountain with Mike and Emi to see the fireworks all over the city. It was amazing. We didn't really know what to expect but assumed there would be a good view and there definitely was. It was so cool to see so many shows going on at once and to be in the mountains. It was a great 4th of July.

I am so grateful for all of the men and women who serve our country. I recently found out about a kid I went to High School with that was killed in Iraq last week leaving his wife and 9 month old daughter. It broke my heart. I am so grateful for his service and sacrifice. The sacrifice these men and women make for our country is so humbling and I know I will never be able to thank them enough. I am so blessed to live in this amazing country.
