4th of July

Saturday was a fun filled day......

Jackson and I went down to save some spots for the West Jordan Parade.

Jackson eating his "healthy" breakfast -- a McGriddle

Jackson and Weston- watching the parade eating some yummy taffy

don't mind the messy face of Jackson- he had just devoured 3 pieces of sticky taffyMara's favorite part of the parade was definitely the princess' on the floats Mara sat next to Jonah the entire time- when I would ask her to come sit with me she would say" no, I want to be with my dad, he will get scared without me" what a sweet girl I haveThis clown was so cute

After the parade we went over to the carnival and the booths, this year they had some fun rides for the kiddos and for the adults. they were a little pricey but oh well, right?

So is this little clown- look at that messy messy face- I think he liked his lunch :)

My sweet Jonah:)

Mara and Jonah went on this ride- it was making me sick just watching them spin, Mara told me that she was really really dizzy!!! Mara and Weston waiting in line for the car rides, they road in a Fire truck-

when I looked back and Jackson and Jonah, this is what I found.....

Jonah would flop his head over to one side then Jackson would push it over to the other side and laugh and laugh

I love this little lady

I think Weston had a fun time Driving a cute little race car( one of the times)I decided that Jackson needed to have his shirt removed, he had spilled a can of root beer all over his shirt and he was wet and smelling of root beer.. Weston even let Mara drive:)

the last ride they went on was this apple one,

After the carnival we went home, Mara and Jonah took a nap, then we all loaded up and headed back down to the carnival but this time we went over to the West Jordan Western Stampede Rodeo--- I have never been to a rodeo and I think this will be my last one-- I wasn't a big fan but oh well. (sorry no pictures, I forgot the camera in the car)

Don ( Jonah's dad) retired the end of June and this is what he wanted to do to celebrate his retirement, a rodeo.

After the rodeo we stayed to watch the fireworks but decided that we would get out of the stadium and go into the parking lot by our car so we could try to get out of the parking lot quicker-( which the parking lot was a zoo, when we left)

on our way out to the car Mara and I stopped to get autographs from the rodeo clowns and the Princess's. Mara was in heaven :)

then we headed home and went to bed, well the kids and I did, Jonah stayed up for another 2 hours ( 2 a.m.) silly boy!!!!
