FOURTH OF JULY PARADE!!

Koda and Cole at the fourth of July Parade....Best buddies M'Tali, Dallin, and Koda at the parade....We had a lot of fun at the parade as we do every year. This year it was just me and the kids, we met Josh's cousin and her kids, his aunt and his grandpa there. Josh had to work...it was good money but we missed him.
The military is always one of my favorite parts of the parade. They sacrifice so much so that we can live in this free country. Josh's cousin Greg is serving in Afghanistan and will be there for about a year. He left two kids and a wife to help protect America. Our thougths and prayers are with him and his wife Lisa and their family and all the military men and women as they are away from home. We pray for a safe return for all of them.

And of course M'Tali's favorite float in the parade was the jazz float....since she is the BIGGEST jazz fan ever!!!
We hope you all had a safe and fun 4th...our was amazing!!!
