happy birthday america

we've been dreading the fourth of july.  it meant it was just one day closer to jodi, trevor, and stella moving to california.  the holiday was good to us though.  we crashed the cousin sleepover party (can't wait til we have a babe to add to the mix!!  we're still in the finding stage, just so you know) and then went to the flints farewell bbq.  little man is a natural at this whole rock climbing business.  he and gordon climbed to the top of the 32 foot rock wall.  it was a sight to see!  and i discovered a new talent of mine: tight rope walking.  we ended the day by going to the mountains behind our house to watch the fireworks across the ogden valley.
