4th of July

While I was still up at girls camp the last night Rylee sent Kefford and I a text that Joshua and his family had arrived. Mallory had sent me a text letting me know that they wanted t stop by on their way to visit her sister in Oregon. I told her I would be at girls camp and wouldn't be able to see them but since I decided to go home this night before I was excited that I would be able to see them in the morning before they left to continue their drive. Right after Rylee sent the message she let us know that within 10 minutes of being at our house that Fredrick had got o the trampoline fell off and broke his arm. When I got home with Kefford it was very late but Mallory was at the hospital with Fredrick and Joshua and his kids were in  bed. Mallory got home with Fredrick I the wee hours of the morning and they decided to stay another night with us for Fredricks comfort. I was sad that Fred had injured himself but happy I got to spend a little more time with their family.

Before she and Tyler left to come home for the 4th Kenedy sent me a picture with the baby she nannies for. 

With Joshuas family we read stories, played barbies, went to the park and had pizza. It was a good day and on the 4th they came with us to our Wards pancake breakfast before they left to continue their drive.

I made my traditional 4th of July cake and I love the strawberries and blueberries I used to decorate it this year.

We had planned on going boating with Whitney and her family but the weather was cooler and the sky was super gray and looked like it could get stormy so we did not do that. We did go to visit Grandma June where Ryker showed off a magic card trick.
I had a lot of fun sitting with Anna and talking with her. I am so glad she married Ryker and is a part of our family
