Independence Day 2015

For our celebration of Independence day we spent time with both families. On the third of July we went up American Fork Canyon and had a breakfast and hung out. Then we had the ones that could come over to our house for pizza and then to go over to cul-de-sac of fire that our neighborhood puts on. It was a wonderful night!
Then on the fourth of July we went to the Provo parade with my Taylor family like we do every year. My grandma said that we have been there for over 35 years. That is a long time to be going to a parade.  Then we had a picnic at my grandma Taylor's home and got to spend time with my family there. We went to my aunt and uncles after that for dinner and swimming and fireworks. This was one of the first years I haven't watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks but I didn't miss them. As we were driving home everyone was putting on their own show and we got to see so many fireworks.
It was a great way to spend our Independence Day with our families!

Father's Day

I have been thinking of what to write in this post because it is hard for me to express my love and appreciate for Tanner, my Dad and my father-in-law Brett. They are all such wonderful men who have blessed my life immensely.

For the actual Fathers Day, I made Grandma Nilsson's orange rolls for Tanner for breakfast. Then we went to church. I made Tanner wait until after church to open his gifts from Layla and I. He got to sleep in a little because I woke up and got Layla ready so he could take it easy on Sunday. Then we got home from church and I was able to give him his gift and then made him home made rolls and roast beef sandwiches for lunch. The rest of the day was him getting to rest, talk with his dad and spend some nice time at home with Layla and I. Then for dinner that night we went to Grandma and Grandpa Woolley's.
It was nothing extreme but I wanted to make that day all about Tanner and what he wants. He truly is the best thing in my life. He is so kind, caring, strong, hard working, funny, talented. I could go on forever. Layla is very blessed to have such a wonderful father.

I really hope that all the Father's in my life know how much I love them and am so grateful for them and their examples!

Tyler and Ashlings Wedding

It is such a wonderful experience to have my family get a new cousin. My cousin Tyler got married to Ashling. My favorite part of the day was being in the temple with all of my siblings and my parents. I realized how blessed I am to have had multiple opportunities to be in such a sacred place with them.
The rest of the night we were able to dance, eat ice cream and celebrate with Tyler, Ashling and their friends and family.

Amelia's 3rd Birthday Party

We were so happy to be able to celebrate our niece's third birthday. She is such a spunky little girl who is such a sweet heart. For her birthday she wanted to have a swimming party! We really enjoyed our time swimming with the family.
