Independence Day!

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We were so lucky to be able to spend it with our friends at their family ranch in Christopher Creek. The home was amazing, the surroundings were beautiful, the weather was dreamy, and best of all, the company was unbeatable! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. It was definitely "independent" of any worries or cares of normal life at home. The kids played non-stop and we ate ourselves sick! :) We even had a chance to have a spiritual meeting on Sunday morning that we all enjoyed.



Here we are all together in front of the gorgeous cabin.


The kids all sang a song together during our "Sunday School" meeting. It was so sweet!

I couldn't leave this picture out... Todd is throwing Spencer up in the air and he is loving it!
Why do I wonder how my kids get so daring and crazy?!

This holiday is such a good reminder of all we have to be thankful for. No matter the condition of our economy or the conduct of our government officials, I still believe in what this country was founded on and I am proud to be a citizen of the United States. This country was built on solid principles by men who were led by God to establish a free country where Christ's Church could once again be brought forth. I am thankful to be a part of this nation as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.


One last picture of the beautiful scenery that surrounded us. Our kids spent quite a while fishing in the pond in the background.

looks like so much fun! Nothing better than a big green lawn to play on in a place that's cool and beautiful! Happy 4th!
