Fireworks on the 3rd of July!

Logan always has their Fireworks on the 3rd of July, so we got to hang out with my Grandma Gilden in the morning which was so wonderful, and then Jared went Golfing down in Brigham with Sean (my uncle) and Tyler (my cousin), Blake my other uncle was going to go but didn't end up going because of health issues. Jared had a great time and Sean spoiled him as usual, paying for everything but some tee's. (Thanks Sean) I got to hang out with my Grandma, while Miley took a nap and Nate played Lego Star Wars on the big screen downstairs. It was so nice to be able to talk to her out on the patio in the sun and enjoy the beauty of Cache Valley. Their back yard is to amazing and they have a pasture with trees and horses behind it too. I had a great time.

Everyone came over for Dinner that night before the Fireworks, we had Lasagna, salad (Cesar and jello), and garlic bread. Then my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that were there walk up to the USU stadium for Fireworks. We decided not to go in because Miley doesn't like loud noises and we were afraid that she would cry in them.

We stayed with my Grandparent at there house and had the best cheep seats there were. Here are some of the beautiful flowers in front of their house.

We enjoyed listening to the show on the radio while we talked and did sparklers with Nate. I put Miley down to sleep at her normal time. She can watch Fireworks next year maybe.

Here is Grandpa standing proudly while they played the song for the Marines, her served our country in WW2 as a Marine.

Nate really liked the sparklers. He hasn't been around fireworks since before we moved away from Utah, 3 years ago.

When it was dark enough we got settled down to watch the Fireworks on the porch. They had some technical issues at first and somewhere down the street someone was lighting illegal firework so Nate kept thinking they were starting over and over. It kept us entertained for a while.

The show was great, it was so nice to watch a firework show and to be proud to be an American. We are so Blessed.

Here are some of my favorite moments.

Nate didn't make it threw all of the show. He ended up crashing on dads lap near the end.

So after it was all done I carried him down to his bed before everyone else got back home from the show for desert.

Grandma took these shots for us. The gang got back soon after. They said that they were getting all the ash from the fireworks blown back to where they were sitting. Blake even got one in his eye that burned it a little. Sounds like our seats were the Best.

Here is Dani, Shanne, Alexis, and Jaquelyn after they got back.

After everyone was back we went inside for Chocolate cake, and ice cream. Everyone said it was good, I wont touch the stuff, I hate Cake!

Blake and Tina

My brother Chris came over quick too. It was great to see him. I wish I could have seen my Mom, Step Dad, and niece too, but they were sick with the swine flu.

We had a wonderful time with all of you. Thanks for making our visit wonderful. We love you all.

Great Grandma Gilden...

It was so good to see my Grandma Gilden while we were out visiting family. We haven't seen her since Christmas and a lot has gone on since then for her. Her heart was having troubles, but now she is doing better. She'll be on oxygen probably for the rest of her, hopefully long, life. But she is still the sweetest and kindest woman. I love her so much.

She really enjoyed watching our two monkey's jumping all over. They are quite entertaining, and lively.

Here is Miley and Nate playing with all of Grandma's little toys.

Here is me, Miley, Grandma, and Nate.

Miley had a good time talking to Grandma and smiling at her.

Here is me showing off my great juggling act....Miley and Nate love it, actually Grandma did too. She thought I had some great skills.

Nate use to love this Foo Dog. He would put his hand in its mouth and then Grandma would say "Ouch" and he would yank his hand out of its mouth quick with a big smile. Miley just sat and patted the dogs head. It was cute too.

The other thing Nate loved to play with what these coasters, Miley enjoyed them too.

Here we all are with Grandma and my great aunt Karma too.

Sweet Sisters...

We had a great time. We had to leave due to Miley being tired in the end and Jared was going to go golf with Sean, Tyler, and Blake. It was so good to see you Grandma, thanks for all you do for us and for your sweetness and love. We love you too.
