4th of July 2011

Jordan's first 4th of July was filled with lots of fun. Here is a picture of us all at the parade on University Avenue. And yes, we are colored coordinated in our Red, White, and Blue... oh ya!

Jordan and his mommy getting a good view of the fun parade. Provo does such a great job on it's 4th of July festivities.
Jordan up on pop.

Here's a little view of the parade. I thought this was a fun group to take a picture of because they're all Disney characters.

A little while after the parade we had a BBQ out our home. Preston did a great job of being the chef.

Here's the group of friends we had over. We sure love having a yard... not to mention the big tree that blocked the sun. Oh so nice...

In the evening we headed to my Aunt Margot's home in Cedar Hills for some family fun with fireworks. Here's Uncle Bart and Jordan having fun hanging out.

It was hard to get a picture of these two together since they are both always moving. This is my cousins little boy Gabrielle and Jordan. They are only a couple of months apart in age. Gabe's walking all over the place. I think Jordan was jealous.
These are my cousins kids getting the firework show started for the evening.

What a wonderful 4th of July! We are so grateful to live in this "sweet land of liberty." The Star-Spangled Banner put it perfectly, "Praise the Pow'r that preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just. And this be our motto: In God is our trust!" I love being an American and for Heavenly Father's divine hand in this nation.
