Good Morning!!!

We are most definitely NOT morning people!!!

The Fourth Of July!

The fourth of July was a crazy weekend. Here we are at the Firework's Display on July 3 (for some reason our city has them on the 3rd instead of the 4th). We had a barbeque and lit some sparklers. It was way fun. Payton LOVES fireworks. We had to keep telling her not to play with them because they were too hot but she is pretty fearless. Sparklers are definately her favorite.

Then on the 4th we set up at the Party in the Park. Then, that night we had the parade and on the 5th we had the downtown Freedom Days. So it was a pretty busy weekend. I don't think we acctually sat down until Sunday!!!

Aztec Fiesta Days - June

So, for those of you who don't know... Bryce and I purchased a small shaved ice stand to take to events during the summer for a little extra cash. And this year Jimmy and Heather have come to some of the events with us and have sold cotton candy.... So, here is our stand at the Aztec Fiesta Days.

First, let me just tell you a few things about this little shindig... every year they make this huge person... thing.... out of paper and sheets and then all the people of the town write down on little sheets of paper one thing they would like to get rid of in their lives and then they burn it. So, on the last night of this "fiesta" they start moving this massive person-thing and people are lighting candles and following it (people are real serious about this-no lie) and Jimmy starts running after it with these fake tiki torches we have that set outside of our Shaved Ice Stand. So, I left (Bryce and Heather to clean up... sorry again!) and went after him with my camera so I could get pics. of Jimmy making a fool out of himself.

Much to my surprise... he was like the most popular guy out there. All the people thought he was so cool cause he was getting all in to the "spirit of the Zorba" and were shouting at him and talking to him as he passed. And Jimmy and I were just cracking up because all he was doing was mocking the tradition. He even went up as they were lighting it and acted like he was lighting it with his "torch"! It was honestly soooooo funny!!! But I swear that's how it's been with him, he makes fun of somebody and they totally think he's great! GO figure!!

Riverfest

Here is we are getting ready to have our first ever Riverfest experience.... little did we know. Other than a few little attractions for the kiddies... and an overload of vendors.... there wasn't much else to do except walk up and down the river. However, we still managed to have a really good time!

Here is Payton getting her face painted by a clown or something? I am not quite sure what she was supposed to be. However, Payton looked adorable!!!

They had a small petting zoo with some goats, a horse and a bunch of lamas. So, here is Bryce and Payton feeding the goats!!!
