4th of July 2009

This 4th of July we took it easy. We slept in and went to our friends house The Gonzalez family and had some lunch and did some cool fireworks. After that we went to the Layton City Festivities and bought some traditional carnival food like Cotton Candy, Sno Cones, Kettle corn (which I love) and some pork on a stick. The kids also played on the games that they had for little kids and had a great time. We were their for a short time and then headed home to start getting ready for a family BBQ with fireworks and the end. We had a great time with our family.

Now on a more patriotic note. We are so blessed to live in this "Land of the Free". With so many different things going around the world now days we are still able to live freely, to be members of our church, to have freedom of speech, to work and provide for our families, to still be able to have a home with all the necessities, to have food, and do anything that we would like to do. I hope and pray that our children can have the same things we have now, I pray that our government can really take notice of the well being of humankind and not just do things because it will get them more popularity. I am blessed to be born a US citizen to have a husband that loves this country just as much as someone born and raise a US citizen. I marvel at the love he has for this countries history and the knowledge that he has.
