The 4th of July!!!



I love the 4th of July, it is seriously one of my favorite holidays! However, I have no photo documentation of this weekend... I had my camera with me, but completely spaced taking any photos and photo-ops were plentiful... OOPS. Here is a run down of our fun weekend!
{If you know me, you know I hate crocs, so when I typed in 4th of July and this was one of the pics that came up... I couldn't resist. Hopefully these are the children's ones, or I might throw up ha ha No offense out there croc lovers...}

FRIDAY- We went to the annual Braithwaite family BBQ. Grandma and Grandpa had just got back from sabbatical with my Grandpa's students. They were in Oregon. :) It was great to see everyone and eat Grandpa's famous home-made ice cream and root beer. I am almost positive I had 3 servings of each... Nicole kept giving me crap about it but I said, do you really wanna mess with a pregnant lady about her ice cream? Then she gave in and got me another bowl full! ha ha We only get these once a year, you have to stock up.





Nathan and Suki's family was there as well, they live in Oregon right now. So it was great to see them and their kids and their new baby Lindsey. What a cute little sumo baby! Plus I got to chat with Grandma, mom, and all the aunts about being pregnant and their large babies. Which brought even more validity to my prediction of having a LARGE baby ;) Like Tina says, "Big babies, eat well and sleep well". That is ok with me!





Then we went to my parents' and hung out with them and little bro's. We even had a great firework show put on my RoLee, Ryker, and Chris. We were trying to show up the Robbison's, I think we succeeded. ha ha Then we ate treats, Nicole joined us and we all watched old family videos and laughed until mom told us to quiet down {she was trying to sleep upstairs...} HA HA





SATURDAY- We were so lazy. We all slept in and then hung out and watched movies on TV. Chris, RoLee, and Nicole went and got us some delicious Snowy slushes. Man were they tasty. Then we lazed around some more and later that evening, when dad got off work, we all went to eat at Joe Bandito's in Springville. YUMMERS! Then Chris and I headed to pick up Cooper from Chris' parents and head home.





SUNDAY- Just the usual. Church, I taught the lesson in Young Womens and Sunday dinner at Chris' parents. It was delish, then we all watched a movie and ate fruit shakes and called it a night.

  1. I thought I was the only person who hates crocs! Lola will be here so soon! Only 63 more days! I wish I would have known that you were in Payson because I want to see your pregnant belly!

  2. You always have something fun going on. Crocs aren't my faves either, I do like the baby and toddler ones though. Hannah has a pair that look so cute on her! :)

  10. Dari, I'm sorry I said "You don't need anymore icecream." I guess I'll understand someday when I'm pregnant, when that day comes I'll expect you to get me more icecream!
