Maddie's Birthday

July 11th was Maddie's Birthday, she turned 3 years old! I one hand I can't believe my baby is 3, on the other hand she acts like she is a teenager sometimes. We went to the zoo and then had a birthday party and BBQ with family. She loved the zoo and she loved the presents she got. It was a great day.

4th of July

We went to Manti for the 4th of July weekend. The Max and Maddie had a lot of fun with their cousins Gracie, Susie and Rosie. They played in the water for hours on Friday afternoon.

On Friday night we went to the parade on Main Street in Manti. The kids were so excited to get candy! This is a picture I took of them waiting for the parade to start. I played around with it on photoshop because I thought it was a cute picture of them together.

Saturday Bret and James were playing with firecrackers. Max thought it was so funny. They were trying to blowup pop cans, potatoes, cherries, anything they could find. We also picked cherries from my Mom's tree and she made cherry cobbler, yum, yum!

Later that night they had tank wars, they used other fireworks to rig their tanks up to see whos would go the farthest.

The Tanks

The Teams:

Andy and Susie

James and Sharee

Bret

Andy and Susie's went the furthest. James' and Bret's had too much fire power and burned through the string before they went anywhere.

This is a little video of Bret's tank.



After the competition we went to watch the firework show. Manti has a great show for a small town. It was a fun weekend.
