4th of July

Kate and I flew to Utah on Friday to spend the 4th with my family. Nate stayed home with Paige and they spent the weekend with his family here in Spokane.

My family stayed at my grandparents house in Huntsville, which is in the Ogden Valley.


My sister, Emily, just had a baby 2 weeks ago and she came from Las Vegas to join us. This is little Avery Claire.

I ran a 5K with 2 of my sisters, and their boyfriend and husband.We watched the parade in Huntsville.




It was a really fun trip and a nice break for me. It actually felt like a relaxing vacation, which doesn't happen very often when you have kids. I definitely missed Paige and Nate, but they had a great time with Nate's family, so I didn't feel too guilty leaving them. :)

Looks like you had LOTS of fun, which is awesome and I'm glad it was relaxing!

Do you know which email Nate sent it to, cuz I'll let Rob know to check about that job :) Tell him thanks.

Yeah, you guys need to get over here soon so we can go to the beach! I bet Paige and Breanna will love it!
