4th of July weekend

What an action packed weekend! We went from one party to the next. I took a lot of pictures... Mainly because Gwen is at such a fun stage right now and I want to capture every moment.

We took Gwen to the Parade. It was fun to see her excitement as the floats went by.

She likes to show off her 4 teeth. Gotta love that smile!

Grandpa gave her a piggy back ride to the parade.

She couldn't get enough of this swing. She giggled the whole time. I think we'll need to invest in one of these some day.

My dad got Gwen her own backpack of fireworks and goodies. She loved it until we put it on her.

Here's the family at Stadium of Fire. It was a super fun night. Gwen was completely entertained by all of the performers and fireworks.

Little Miss America!

Carrie anyone? She was fabulous! I'd have to say best concert I've ever been to. She has an incredible voice, is gorgeous, and sweet. Loved it!

We hit up the lake Saturday morning. It felt more like the ocean. There were some huge waves. We still had a great time as always.

Captain Dave is the man!

Later that day we golfed at Cascade. Watch out! Gwen is behind the wheel.

Sunday night the Osmond's put on a great firework show. We had fun getting together with some neighbors to see the pyro's in action.

My mom couldn't resist getting Gwen this cute suit for the 4th. She was sure looking patriotic!

This girl loves the water. She dips her face in the water and just laughs. She is already fearless at 10+ months.

Saturday afternoon we went over to Shadow brook and swam with Chase's family. Gwen got to ride on this awesome turtle.

Elle and Gwen! The only two girl cousins.

Lex and Gwen

The Lindahl's came to visit from Arizona. The boys played some ball. It got pretty intense!

Gwen is a little helper. When we wash the car she wants to be right there, eating the hose and all.

We had a wonderful 4th of July. I am so grateful for the freedoms we are able to enjoy in this country. I hope I never take them for granted. God Bless America!
