Independence Day 2013

We are already past the halfway mark for the year of 2013. Time really does fly and I realize this almost daily now.
This year for the 4th of July we spent it with just ourselves. Just the 3 of us and it was really enjoyable. Usually we are trying to decide if we are going to Blanding, Richfield or Bountiful in order to spend it with parents/family but we have decided to spend more holidays with just us, unless something big is going on. Anyway that morning we woke up and Skyeler wanted to go to the parade, so we got all ready (Mikena got an outfit from Grandma Lucero that she wore) and headed out and made it during the pre-parade. Weird. But it was fun. Both Skyeler and I liked it when this tank and WWII(?) soldiers ran past everyone. The least favorite was watching this guy pick up horse crap with his bare hands. Ewww!!
After the parade we went home and attempted to cool off a bit. We had an early dinner and headed off to find a spot for fireworks. It was fun and I had a blast spending time with my family. Mikena did very well with the fireworks and all the noise at the parade. She really is a mellow baby when nothing can startle her that much.

Here are a few pics!

It was an enjoyable day and I am so blessed that I was able to spend it with Skyeler. It really means a lot to me that I am able to be with him as much as I am.
