I think this post makes me all caught up! Woohoo! We had a great 4th of July. We slept in and had a nice relaxing morning. Prince had to go into work for a little bit. When he came home the kids we watched a movie and Ayo climbed up into his Daddy's lap and fell asleep it was so cute! After Ayo woke up we took the kids swimming. It was a lot of fun and they are fantastic little swimmers.
After swimming the kids chose Red Robin for dinner. I love going out to dinner as a family. The kids are so well behaved and I don't have to cook :) and we get to enjoy each others company. So much fun! Last year we went to Boulder City for the 4th and it was a lot of fun, but this year we decided to stay close to home and we were not disappointed. The show at Green Valley Ranch was phenomenal! We went with my sister Alyson and my sister Melany was working but she was able to come down and meet us there.
We all had our blankets and chairs laid out and then the sprinklers came on it was so funny!
Ayo sat like this for 15 minutes before the fireworks started...
After we headed to my parents home to do some sparklers. Samarrah loved them, Ayo was so scared of teh fireworks the neighbors were setting off so he stayed inside with the headphones on. It was a great 4th. Our first one as a family full of Americans...something we will never take for granted.
The end of July we went to the annual tri-stake pioneer day celebration. The kids were so excited that they got to ride their bikes in the parade. It was really hot outside but they powered through and had a blast. We did a lot of pioneer activities and had a blast when they firemen hosed everyone down. Samarrah was soaked!
I think I am finally caught up, but just in time to add so much more. Prince and Samarrah start school on the 29th and Ayo starts preschool on the 7th. This is a new adventure for our family and we are excited! I can't quite believe I have a school age child, but she is so ready and excited for Kindergarten. Stay tuned for super cute pictures of her in her school uniform!!!! Happy Last Few weeks of summer!

K, maybe you won't believe me, because this is going to sound redundant (aka deja vu/I said this last time!) but I dreamed about your family again last night, and then you posted on your blog today! But no, for real, last night I dreamed that we (you, your sisters and me) were driving around and I was like, "Let's stop at the salon." and your dad was a hair stylist there, and volunteered to cut my hair and dye it a Level 5 (which I don't even know what color that would be, but that's what he said in my dream). So weird, but funny, eh?! Love you!
