4th of July









We enjoyed our 1st 4th of July here in Albuquerque with just the 4 of us. We had a fabulous time celebrating with a 4th of July package from Grandma Melinda and the kids' first fireworks show. We went to see fireworks in Rio Rancho and sat in the football stadium to watch. The kids LOVED the fireworks and Carly was even caught saying "Oooo, that's awesome!". The show and the music were incredible. We will definitely be heading back to Rio Rancho for next years fireworks!

Chad bought fireworks and set them off in the driveway for Jay and I. Carly went to bed early and missed the show. This was my first time ever doing fireworks at home. Chad thinks it is crazy that I never did fireworks as a kid. We always had sparklers, but I never remember fireworks. Chad thought I was unnecessarily nervous.

haha, unnecessarily nervous.

i'm surprised you didn't do your own fireworks in utah!

your kids are growing up so fast. i want to come visit so badly and see you all. i talked to jess and he said he doesn't think he can get away at any point in october so i was disappointed, but my sis-in-law is staying with us for the semester so we're considering our own road trip...
