4th of July

The Phelons arrived the day before (the day after Gina left) and would be staying for 3 weeks. So we went to the annual Kaysville pancake breakfast in the morning with Nate's family which included his parents, the Cederlofs, Grandma Hill, and an aunt and uncle and a few cousins. It's a tradition and they give you a lot of food so it's fun.

We left from there and headed out to Tooele. When we arrived, the parade was still going on, so we found a spot by my family. The Hancocks and Collettes were there as well. We really got there just as the parade was ending so Logan didn't really figure out that they were throwing candy that he could pick up to keep. For some reason I thought that the parade had started an hour later than it did. On our way back to our car, we ran into a guy that Nate works with who lives in Stansbury and is originally from Delta and went to school with Missy. So that was fun to chat for a second and meet his family.

Everyone seemed to be in the mood to do something active, so we went to the church to play volleyball. We did this last year as well. My mom stayed at the house to watch the 3 year olds and Kylie since she was taking a nap. But the rest of us went to the church. We are all quite rusty on our volleyball skills, but it was still fun. Shawn even played one-handed for awhile since he had to carry Caden who was getting fussy. When we got home, my mom was playing humpty dumpty and the kids were on the back of the couch then would fall and "crack". Logan still wants to play this sometimes. They were having a blast!

My parents turned the water on in the creek and the kids played in there for a bit, then it was time for fireworks. Unfortunately, Tooele had a rule that year that they couldn't do any fireworks because of how dry it has been. So the kids just did sparklers. However, there were plenty of neighbors who weren't following this rule.

Logan was very cautious with his sparklers. But I suppose that's a good thing

We all spent the night but we left pretty early the next day since we wanted to go to church in our ward since we were still so new.

Caden and Kylie doing tummy time. I just love the size difference even though they are only 2 months a part!
