24th canyon breakfast & the Good 'Ol Bluffdale Rodeo 7.16

Neighborhood fireworks!
So fun to start off the 24th of July in our hood.
This year, it was over at the park and so fun for the kids.
This was Blake every, single firework!
"Mom, it goes BOOM!" and he would throw up his little pointer finger!
LOVED IT SO MUCH!
Avery and her dad came with us too and it was so fun!
After we got back, we had to show off our fun glowing necklaces and bracelets. Love these kiddos so much.
They love this holiday as much as we do!

Anderson Family 24th of July canyon Tradition!
I love it and now my kids do too!
Rio showing off her potato bug collection.. don't worry - there is more. EW!
Nick and Holly and their kiddos came this year and we were thrilled!  They live in PA so it is rare, rare that we get to see them.
Rio, Halle and Austin...seriously kids?  So gross!  And no, the bathrooms in the canyons do  not have soap!
Nick and Holly's son has Downs' Syndrome and I love that Carter.  He is such a sweet boy and was absolutely darling with Blake.  Thanks Carter!
Far away but it was the crew!  Adults and kids - nice family right?
We have to take pics on this rock every year, it's part of the fun and memories!
Goofy kids!
So fun to see all my kids and cousins kids...I hope my grandma would love it!

That night, we celebrated with more fireworks of course with the Morris crew.
Love this bunch of Morris' - they sure do love sparklers and snaps!

Enjoying the warmth of summer and fun of the rodeo.
Muttin' Bustin' - our kids want to give it a try next year.
Blake couldn't believe it!  Thought it was so fun!
Gettin' our fill of bull riding tonight!
What a blast!
Love our little city of Bluffdale and all it's fun activities.

24th of July Float Preview

TRADITIONS!
Love them, every one; especially around this holiday.
The float preview for the 24th of July - such a blast and there are so many cute ideas!

Woah!  Be careful up there in space.
Ethan and Logan liked this little alien so much.
Our little cousin triplets :)
*Cooper, Preston & Blake*
I am loving all their sun tanned faces!  So cute.
They all had to of course get a balloon that in about 15 minutes will be deflated from being popped.
Can you spot the token girl?  Love our Rio and what a great sport she is around all these crazies.
*Ethan, Preston, Jax, Logan, Austin, Blake, Cole, Rio and Cooper*
Every once in a while, we get most people looking at the camera and then, we end up taking 5 pictures.
Love this Morris fam and this fun tradition.

Halle birthday '16

(*Seriously over a year behind...might need to go to chatbooks now...I'm not sure I'll ever catch up!)

Happy, happy birthday beautiful Halle and Papa Dougie!
Halle turned 7 and we were so excited to celebrate with her.
We celebrated over at a park in Draper and it was sure windy but it was beautiful weather and so fun to be together.
This gift was from us and...

...she sure loved it!
Happy face means happy birthday!
Happiest birthday to two of my favorites!
Love you Halle and Dad.  Don't know what our family would be like without you guys!
