Off to Utah!

 My mom offered awhile ago to fly us out to Utah for a Hague family reunion in July.  At the time it seemed so far away with so many things to get through before it like graduation and our big move but of course we accepted the offer and we were sooo excited to be able to go!  Chris had to stay home and work so that means the girls and I packed up and were on our way.  It also means that I flew by myself with the 3 girls.  On the way to Utah I about popped a vein I was so stressed.  We had to change planes and we had to run and get on a train to hurry and make our flight.  It was super stressful.  On the way home we had a 4 hour layover in Denver.  I wasn't sure which was worse... but we survived it all!!!  Chris took us to the airport and got a ticket to be able to help me to our gate and Nana and Papa did the same taking us back to the airport on the way home!  I was very grateful for all the help :)

 Here are some pics of things we did other than our reunion!...

Happy Birthday to this Sista!... :)

And a Happy birthday to Kylie!...

4th in Bryant!

We were excited for our first 4th of July in Bryant!  Chris worked the day shift and so the girls and I hung out and got excited for the evening plans.  The girls got to pick out their own fireworks for the first time!

Reagan's first 4th of July :)

 McKenna and I made dessert's for our bbq...

 Reagan took a patriotic nap...

That evening we went to a bbq at the Bloch's home with some other members of our ward!

The food was yum and it was great to get to know some people better!  They did some fireworks in the front of their home.  My girls were crazy excited!!!...

 The next day we had a non-official ward party.  Some people in our ward put on a big carnival type event every year!  We were told we couldn't miss it and it didn't disappoint!  Before we left I went outside and found Adyson dressed like this...

She was even climbing all over the swingset in those heels hahahah... she's my little diva!  ALWAYS dressed up in something and ALWAYS in heels!

 

Have I mentioned McKenna makes friends ANYWHERE we go??!!  She is in heaven if there are other kiddies around!

 Picking out their snow cone flavor...

 Sugar high...

 Once it got dark they did an AWESOME firework show... the entire thing was like a 20 minute finale!  Super impressive!

 Happy Birthday to the land of the free and home of the brave!  I pray we can always remember our Lord God in this country and be thankful for our freedoms!  I'm thankful especially this year for our soldiers as my brother Ryan is in Afghanistan.  I never before have had someone this close to me serve.  I'm so grateful to him and his pregnant wife for the sacrifices they are making!  

Happy 4th!!!!!!
