Our 4th of July weekend

We spent our 4th of July with family; my parents invited John's parents over for dinner. We enjoyed just talking and sharing stories and of course Katie seemed to take all the attention given.


Saturday John and I went up Little Cottonwood Canyon and enjoyed the water rushing by while hiking on the Little Cottonwood Trail. Katie wasn't to happy as we drove up the Canyon. As I tried to calm her down guess what I saw... a little tooth! Yup, Katie's first tooth has broken through. Once we put her in the carrier and began walking she was happier and slept for a good part of our hike.

Sunday we headed to Provo where Skip blessed little Asher. It was a beautiful blessing and it was fun to see how Asher is filling in and not looking so newborn. I even got to feed him! We also enjoyed seeing and chatting with Rachel and Skip and also Kristin and Enoch.

Monday we went even farther south to Scipio and attended my great uncle Carl's funeral. Although it was a sad occasion it was good to see my Grandparents and other family. My Grandma and her sister spoke about their brother and their memories of him. It was wonderful. We went to the cemetery where the casket was pulled by a horse-drawn hearse. Afterwards we enjoyed the family lunch and visiting. We stayed until 5ish and headed home but wish we could have stayed. We do plan to go back for the Day's of '47 weekend to enjoy the festivities.
