Holiday weekend


Happy Independence Day!

I love this holiday so much. Maybe because it falls in my birthweek:)

As tradition call for, we made our annual trip up to the USU lawns to watch the Logan fireworks. We used to buy tickets and go in the stadium to see the whole show. But with so many little ones in the family, it's just more practical, and more fun, to play on the grass outside.

I brought dollar store glow sticks that were a hit with all the little cousins. A few did end up breaking open. That stuff looks cool sprayed all over your hand in the dark;)

James was mesmerized by the fireworks and Naomi loved them, of course.

The next morning we reunited with the whole Champlin Family clan for the 8th annual (I think it's 8th, right Zach?) Champlin Family 4th of July Breakfast. Zach was manning the griddle/grill of course. Do you think he would let anyone else even get near that?

I love Independence Day. We live in a great country.


Grandma Linda and sweet baby James!






James taking it easy, waiting for Naomi to wake up and party with him.















We are missing a few girls! Aimee (out of the country), and Erica wasn't there yet!
