So.... this year we decided to do something fun for the All Star Game. We invited Gabe's dad and brothers over and got together with our neighbors for a party! Bryan was able to get a projector from his work and we watched the game in between their house and the Thomas's house. We set up chairs and had a BBQ while we watched the game. We played several fun games as well to keep the kids entertained and just for fun!! We played an ongoing BINGO game that had the team logos and everytime a player got up they got to put a piece on the team they represented! We had cute baseball toy prizes!!! We also had a game to guess the final score... Lexie Smith was the winner but..... I was second!!! And Kaylynne Ransom 3rd!! YAY!!! Good job American League!!! We also had a pinata at 7th inning stretch that the kids loved!! It was just a fun time with family and friends that we will defintely have to make a new yearly tradition!!!!!

Wow!!! What a fun day we had!! We started at 6:30 am!! I ran in the East Millcreek 4th of July 5k and the fam. came to watch! It was soooo much fun and what do you know I came in 2nd in my age group! YAY!! I'll tell you that 3 miles is sooooo much easier than 26!! :) But its what I love! After the run we went to breakfast at the park with our ward. YUM! We went home, made cake and rested for awhile and then headed over to my dad's for a fun night!! My Aunt, Uncle and cousins came from Arizona with their kids and it was so good to see them!! We swam, had a bbq and ended it all with fireworks in the front yard! It is soooo fun to be with our family and thankful to spend the day with them. I am so thankful for this country that we have to live in and for all of the freedom that we enjoy. I know that we probably take it for granted most of the time but I am very greatful to those who fought and still fight today for these freedoms we enjoy. I am so very blessed!!!!
