July 4th

We had a great time over the fourth. We woke up to go to the Leadore EMT Breakfast which has this delicious strawberry rhubarb syrup for their pancakes. We got our breakfast just in time to look at the booths around the walkway and get a spot for the parade. It was a decent parade. There were lots of entries this year along with the usual fire department, ambulances, horses and trucks. Sadie and Lexi got lots of candy, handouts and otter pops from the parade this year. After visiting with neighbors, family and friends I took Lexi home for a nap (I needed one too)while Cory and Sadie went to the rodeo. We spent the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Bird's house eating lots of delicious food and playing outside. We went to the fireworks in Leadore this year. Cory is a member of the volunteer Fire Department so he got to be ready with the water just in case a fire started. Sadie was impressed with the fireworks as was Lexi. Lexi was sitting by her Uncle Cody and she just kept telling him "More Oty More". (She can't quite pronounce Cody yet.) We had a fun filled day with family and friends while celebrating our freedom. We are so blessed to live in a land where we get to exercise our freedom. I feel so lucky to live in such a land.


Lexi was trying to give Sadie a bouquet of flowers but Sadie was too busy riding around on the basketball court.

Cory and Sadie headed to the rodeo in Leadore. They took the 4-wheeler to try and cool off in the breeze! The rodeo grounds aren't very far from our house so it was a short fun ride for Sadie.

Sadie got handed a necklace at the parade and she got her face painted as well at one of the booths. She was decked out!

I took the time to make their T-Shirts this year and hair bows. I didn't get great pictures of them but you can kind of see them.
