EXPLOSIONS!

Happy 4th of July. There is no better place to celebrate than historic Provo, UT. This year we showed off our red, white, and blue by buying an american flag pinwheel for Seth. He carries it around everywhere. In the house, out of the house, walks, church, the waterpark, the store... he will not release it. I am pretty sure it is because we have done such a wonderful job of indoctrinating the boy with a sense of patriotism. Others say it is because he likes how it spins when you blow on it.

Qualtrics.com sponsored the Stadium of Fire this year which meant we got tickets on the field. Pretty sweet. I was not close enough to catch any of David Archuleta's sweat, but I was 23 rows from him, Chad Lewis, some huge Stadium of Fire torches, and Brad Paisley who I later learned is entertainer of the year according to everyone that laughs at Jeff Foxworthy's redneck jokes. The consensus from the fam. was the fireworks were the best part of the show. Beautiful explosions accompanied by a strange mix of songs with the word "fire" seen through thousands of black ashes falling into our eyes and smoke so thick we held our breath for the first 500 yards of the walk home.

Last week we got family pictures taken. Here are a few. More to come. I think.
