The Fourth of July weekend!

Saturday heading to the Kaysville parade!
Ryker got lots of taffy's and such!
He was so excited about these fireworks he just couldn't wait!
Violet loved the fireworks! She was getting a little too close. Lucky I was there to hold her back!

Rykes loves a good firework!I lit almost all of the fireworks this year! Usually I let Gary take over. I have been missin out! next year we will have to go half and half.

These cuties kept hugging it was so sweet!

I just love Violet's enthusiasm here she's so cute!

My Dad spent the whole day with us so we wouldn't have to be lonely without Gary.

What a swell Poppa!

Poppa Hugs!

It was such a pretty sunset that night.

Fireworks at Davis! I haven't been to a big firework show for 2 years. Ryker has always been afraid of them but this year we were able to go no fears at all ( yay! Ryker) & Violet did awesome she loved them! She kept saying pretty! and cute! everytime they would go off.

Gotta love em'

Sunday we went to a barbeque at Poppa Bill & Grandma Andi's

The kids just love running around in their amazing backyard! They recently got 10 chickens and the kids were having a ball chasing them around.

Violet was so funny that's all she wanted to do was chase these chickens around!

Ryker introducing Woody to a chicken friend.

Sparklers!

Monday we went to the layton park festivities and fireworks. I got the kiddos these balloon animal hat thingy's. Violet's was a pink poodle which she untagled immediately after this photo.

& Ryker's was this pirate hat. Notice the bones and his pirate face!

We are so grateful for our Independence day celebrations. Next year I'll get to share it with the man I love. We missed him extra and it wasn't the same without him. LOve ya Gary!

Happy 4th Of July!
