Aubri's Birthday Party

Dawson was invited to a birthday party for his friend Aubri! It was a Mickey Mouse themed partied, therefore, everyone wore mouse ears!

Side note- Dawson has to have his glasses and a hat this summer. It's been so funny! He'll say, "I need my hat. I need my glasses! The sun's going to get me!"

After the 4th, we went to another one of Dawson's friends birthday parties for Addison! He truly loved this party- he was smoozing all over Addi! Addi went to get a drink and Dawson wrapped his arms around her from behind and tried to help her. He took her 'play' shopping while she held the baby. They swam for FOREVER! It was so much fun! I loved it even more because I got to catch up with my 2nd family, the Esplins! It was good to spend so much time with you guys! I sure miss you and love you lots!

Happy Independence Day!

We spent Sunday night in St. George. My dad and brother Matt drove all the way from Colorado, so we had an AMAZING BBQ! It was so nice to finally see them- it's been way too long! After the BBQ we watched Knight and Day, then had our own firework show. The pics tell it all!

This is Jori and Carson!

Here's Dawson and me!

Carson and Dawson would cheer after every firework! It was hilarious!

YAAA!!!

Jessi, Carson, & the 'wowed' Dawson!

My hottie husband! To this day I feel like I am way out of my league marrying this hunk!

Dawson and Jessi

Another YAAAA!!! These two loved the fireworks!

The sparklers were Dawson's favorite because he got to hold it himself.

The next morning we headed to Kanab! I love their parades- short, sweet, no advertising, and LOTS of candy and fire trucks spraying you down.

Here's my niece Lyndee lou- cheerleader in the parade (she's driving)

Dawson didn't get a ton of candy, but he was so proud of what he did get! He didn't even finish the parade, he just wanted to go sit with dad and eat his candy. :-)

After the parade, everyone heads to the park and plays...and plays...and plays!

and plays....

After the parade we were able to go eat with my dad and brother one of the most amazing restaurants. Dawson loved being around all the cowboys- it was cloud 9 for him. He kept saying, "Mom! is that a cowboy?" He was mezmerized!
That night we saw the most amazing fire work show. J.D. took Dawson swimming at the city pool (which is right next to the park). Then Dawson played his little heart out. We ate, and cuddled during the fireworks. It was a great day!
