This weekend was so busy, Jason and I got to spend some MUCH needed quality time together. We saw Eclipse this weekend with a couple of friends. I really liked this movie. I enjoy not knowing what is going to happen, since I never read the books, so I am always surprised each movie and that makes the movie that much better. However my friend did spoil the next one for me a little, she accidently slipped and told me something really important, that I won't say just in case you haven't read the books either and you want to be suprised!
Since living away from family, most years I start to get a little sad around the 4th wishing I was back in Utah where I grew up and where a lot of my friends and family are. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays and I love to spend it with the people I love. This year I never had that sad feeling like I do most years. I guess that's a good thing. I'm finally starting to feel a little more settled and really happy with where we are living.
Having the 4th of July on a Sunday is really interesting and foreign to me out here in California. I am used to Utah where we celebrate it on Saturday if the 4th lands on a Sunday. Not out here! Everyone was walking around going to the park, doing parades etc... As we were driving to church on sunday morning. I was so happy to be at church singing my patriotic songs and thanking Heavenly Father for this Free Country we live in. Being able to go to church really kicked off the start to a great day!
That afternoon we went to a BBQ at our friends Carrie and Ali Fisher's house, Their little boy is Jack who Kailah gets along with really well.
We ended up watching fireworks in Thousand Oaks at a park. I was so happy to be surrounded with great people and Yummy food this 4th of July. Kailah loves Jacks wagon that she gets to ride in when they play together. Looks like I have another thing to add to the never ending wishlist of baby gear!
That bottom picture is super cute of the 3 of you. Fun family photo. Im glad you werent sad this year and had a good holiday. Kailah is growing and changing so fast. She is adorable as ever. I thought that picture of her watching fireworks looked like maya a bit, and a couple looked like me at that age. It will be fun watching her grow to see if she continues to resemble me. Fun for me. Looking forward to seeing you!
