"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! I attempted taking some pictures but this was the best I got. Carly insists on smiling like a goof and Sam had just woken up from a nap.
They are still cute kiddos!
What's the 4th of July without a little burn on a finger??


This wasn't on the 4th, this was actually the 2nd but Chad couldn't wait to do some fireworks. The kids had a lot of fun with the sparklers!


On the 3rd we drove out to our friends' house. We had some yummy food and did some fireworks with only a few minor scares. Too bad they live so far away, we wanted to stay and play longer!




This was the actual day. We decided to take the kids to watch the big fireworks. We found a great spot, we parked at our church and walked to the school parking lot next door. The kids had a whole parking lot and tennis court to run around. Some member of our ward also had the same idea so the kids got to play together while we waited. It was pretty much the first time we'd taken them to watch big fireworks and they both LOVED them!
