.:Independence Day:.

So Jeff and I decided to drive back down to St. George on the Sunday after the Stadium of Fire to stay a couple more days with his family. I'm glad we went back because we were able to spend the 4th of July with them

We got burgers at In & Out then went down town to watch the fireworks

I was excited to be able to meet up with Jackie and chat for a minute. She moved down to St. George a couple of months ago, so it was fun to see her!

.:Stadium of Fire:.

We have made it a tradition to go to the Stadium of Fire every year with my family, thanks to my parents! We had a great time this year! We all met at my parents house before for a BBQ

and took lots of pictures of the kids in their red, white & blue

Cupcakes!

It was a great show, and very entertaining. I felt bad for Jeff though, Hallie was pretty fussy so he walked around with her for awhile until she finally fell asleep. Somehow she slept through all of the commotion.

.:Sunny St. George:.

We look forward to our St. George trip every summer, and this year we had such a good time. We went to the pool everyday, played tennis, watched movies, went shopping and just relaxed.

My favorite part was that we were able to hang out with Jeff for a week, all day, everyday. That doesn't happen very often

Here is Bryn going on the diving board for the first time ever.

Brave little girl

Coleman's turn

These two are so funny together

Hallie & Alexa

Hallie was getting tired and fussy one day so the second I put her binkie in her mouth she laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. So we set up a little shady spot for her to sleep while we swam a little longer.

Oh and I LOVE when she gets tan lines in her wrist & thigh "rolls"

Bryn loved wearing her goggles, but usually refused to go under the water

{Temple}

One morning we decided to wake up early to go to the Temple. It was my first time inside the St. George Temple, and I loved learning some interesting things about the history of the temple.

One of the quotes I really liked from our sealer was when he said how he thought it was neat that we decided to pass through the temple on our vacation, but it is just as important to "Let the Temple pass through you" as well. Kinda clever.

{FUN}

Of course we had to stop at the Soda Pop Shop and load up on treats for the week, unfortunately Bryn fell asleep on the way there despite our efforts to keep her awake

Hallie & Lex

The guys played a little BasketBall

Grandpa took all of us to see Cars 2 in 3D. It was a pretty cute movie

One night Alexa and I unknowingly decided to wear our matching shirts, so of course we had to take a picture

Brandon & Lynsi

The pool was nice because it has a couple outdoor pools but also and indoor one

so they liked going back and forth between them

We had a fun trip and can't wait to go back
