Huntsman's Firework Celebration

For the past 4 years John Huntsman has put on an amazing
firework show for the 4th of July in Driggs, Idaho
my home town.

It always happens the Saturday before the 4th because 
he is really good friends with the Melaleuca guy who puts on 
the firework show in Idaho Falls, Idaho on the 4th.

I have been fortunate enough to make it to all 4 shows and Michael has been to 3.
Every year the firework show gets better and better.

Being locals we have figured out that if you go early in the morning you can rope off 
a section for you family.  Instead of waiting tell 4 o'clock and maybe not getting a good spot.

So needless to say we got an awesome spot.


After setting up we all had a family breakfast at my grandmas and then headed
over to my cousins to find out where he is headed to for his mission.




After he opened his mission call we headed to Huntsman Springs.

we got there at 4 and they had a talent show going on.
It came down to two people, a guy who beat boxed and a girl who sang.
we got to break the tie by sending in a text. with or vote I voted for the girl 
because she has such a pretty voice and she did end up winning.

Well it so turned out that on sunday we had 2 people lined up to take back to Utah 
and the girl that won the talent show happened to be one of them.
What are the odds haha.

Well after the talent show we headed up to the food vendors and got in line for
some roasted corn covered in mayonnaise, parmesan, and lime chile powder.

It sounds completely disgusting, but trust me it is the most delicious thing to have at a
 concert, fair or farmers market(that is where they normally have them).



Beautiful day.


Beautiful view of the Tetons that night.


Oh Halie!

........

Once we got back to our spot the piano wars started.  
They had us text them songs we wanted to hear.

Once of my favorite things to do is to just sit and relax and listen to music.
The piano pieces were beautiful and they played so many fun songs.

Next up was the BEACH BOYS!!
This is there second year coming and I was definitely okay with that!
Their music is perfect to listen to in the summer, especially sense 
we are headed to cali in a few day, so it definitely got us in the mood to get to the beach.

Once it got dark enough the firework show began.

in between the fireworks going off they had a slide show going.
It was about our great country and how we fought for our freedom 
and also a tribute to the soldiers who fought for us.

Seriously it is one of THE best 4th of July tributes I have ever seen!

Over all we had a pretty amazing Saturday in Driggs with all of my amazing family!

I was able to record all of the firework show in clips, so enjoy

THE FINAL WEEK

How far along?    39 weeks We are in the final week ladies and gents!! Maternity clothes? Only a few shirts  and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts. Stretch marks? Not a single one thank goodness! When I was in school I learned in my  Anatomy  and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic.  So once we decided to start trying I  immediately  got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday).  I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant  guarantee  it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the  drastic ...

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...
