Independance Day weekend!

We had a FABulous 4th of July weekend! Full of hot pool days, Zoo, parade, fireworks and lots of yummy fatty foods! Here is my little firecracker. Before the fireworks we went to 5 Guys to get some burgers! Hands DOWN better than In-n-out!

We went to the parade with Russell's family. Ava was loving hanging out with her little cousins!

Just me and my lil' love bug :)


Saturday I went to the pool w/ my bff Ashlie and her little girl! Ava loves to copy everything I do. Including how I wrap the towel around myself. haha. So funny!

Ava and Jaycie.

Me and Ash.

We went to the Freedom Festival in downtown Provo the watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks.

The next day we decided to spend the day at the Zoo!


Pretty sure this was her favorite part. Riding on the pretend horses.



So all over the park were these dinosaurs. They would make noise and react some even spraying water. Ava was so freaked out and thought they were real.

Love us :)


Again Ava is obsessed with carousels so we had to indulge her on this one.


Ava was getting so much attention from the animals. When we were by the big gorilla he walked up the the glass lunging towards her WOW it even freaked me out. Those things are so human like. Here Ava was taunting the turkey. Haha funny.

And at the end of the day we were tired and cooked. We headed out for some yummy seafood after. What a perfect day :)

Country Concert

Last week we got the chance to go to a fun outdoor concert for Country Arts, Mark Willis and Mark Chesnett. Russell's work was one of the sponsers there. We had so much fun and it was a perfect summer night!
