independence day


the fireworks in logan are always on the 3rd of july.  
we love this because the 3rd is hope's birthday.  
last year at this time, hope and christian were in the NICU, 
i was in recovery from labor and delivery, 
and minnie was with my parents at the dixon's 4th of july 
party waiting for her sister to be born.  
(although, i don't think she really knew she was waiting for that.)
this year, we were all at the dixon's celebrating hope and our country.
it was so much fun.
we ate hot dogs and treats.
minnie ran around the house with ladybug ears on.
hope was just being a little party animal. 


on the 4th, we went to the parade in hyrum.  
minnie loved waving at all the floats, getting candy and making a mess with otter pops.
hope and papa just had fun making faces at each other. 

i am grateful we live in this beautiful nation. 
i'm grateful for the sacrifices made so that we are free. 
i am grateful for hope of a bright future.
