After the parade we went on our usual picnic up in the mountains.
Later that night we had a BBQ with just our family and then all headed over to the fireworks!
After those fireworks we always go home and light our own fireworks! After everything we were all so dead tired and exhausted! It was a really fun fourth of july and fun to show Tim finally all that we do up in Kaysville for it.
They still had the same door which had the original bullet hole through it.
the same window but from the outside
The Mississippi river. this is the biggest part we saw probably.
Hyrum Smith, Joseph Smith, and Emma Smith's graves
Joseph Smiths office
Brigham Young's house, we of course had to get a picture with Tim since he goes to BYU
Poor Timmer got pooped on by a bird!
Nauvoo Temple
It was such a cool experience being here and thinking that this is actually the place where all these amazing people lived and to be able to see the actual houses they lived in. 
Tim's sister Becky invited us out to Missouri to visit her family and watch her four kids for a few days while both her and Dan were out of town. We had so much fun there and got to see lots of cool things. The first day there we went to see the arch. I had been there once before but this was Tim's first time. I had forgotten how big it was! It was too busy to go up in the arch so we just walked around there. We also got to see the Mississippi river, which is huge!! We got a picture by the river when we were there at the arch but it gets so much bigger then that even. We drove along it when we went to nauvoo and it looked like a lake cause it was so wide. it's crazy!
Tim liked to sleep in a little bit so almost every morning while we were watching them they would go wake their Uncle Tim up. I taught them his ticklish spots to give them a little help. While we were there, they put out a tornado watch warning. It was actually pretty cool cause it would thunder ever couple seconds. We both love that stormy weather like that. It scared the kids pretty bad so after a little bit we ended up taking all of them to the basement to sleep just to be safe. Nothing ended up happening luckily. We were really glad to go visit them and get to know all the kids a little better since they live so far away!
This is what happened the whole trip down to California. The two boys slept the whole drive, Tim drove the entire time, and I kept Tim awake
Saturday before Easter we were invited to color Easter eggs with Kenny, Marlyse, and William. Everyone made some really cool ones. Tim was taking a test and got done at 2 but had to be at work at 3 so we had to hurry which was a bummer! I'm no good at making cool eggs! next year i wanna have more time and try doing something better! It was still way fun though!
Our Easter turned out really fun. We woke up a little late for church and headed over and realized we were actually right on time cause it was stake conference. After sitting there for an hour Tim said he needed to go to the bathroom so he left. well probably 20 minutes later i started thinking 'what the heck is taking so long' so i looked at my phone and had a text from Tim that there was a line for the bathroom so he decided to just go home! He's such a cheater! He ended up taking half an hour cause i'm sure he was there eating and taking his time, and texting people telling them how sneaky his plan was.
