Our July: HOT, 4th of July and Fireworks!

July started out like all Julys do, HOT and with fireworks. We went to Provo and watched the 4th of July parade (as always). Later that night, we went to the Stadium of Fire. Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus is there. We were not able to get tickets, but we got as close as we could. The girls LOVED it!! The next night we did fireworks and had a BBQ with Robin, Andy, and Alyssa.

Other than going to Owlz games, having BBQs and hanging with friends and family that was about it.

Then at the end of July the 24th to be exact, my sister in law Laurie broke her leg. She has ahd cancer for 8 years the second time around. The Drs worked on her trying to make things better but it just didnt work. Then on the 26th she passed away, she just was not able to recover from her surgery to try to make her leg better. I miss her so much!

Our Summer

To start the summer off, the kids and I went on a cruise to Alaska. It was SO much fun!! The only thing that I would have changed is my DH was not able to go with us due to having to work. Alaska is such a beautiful place. I would love to go back there just my DH and I someday. And let me tell you, a cruise is the ONLY way to go!!

The first pic is of the kids and I in Seattle at the Space Needle. We rode the water log ride and walked around the Space Needle was so cool! The next pic is of the kids and I getting ready to go get on the boat. We were on a walkway above the traffic, that is our boat behind us. We were on the Norwegian Pearl. The next pic is of our room. Christian slept in the bed the pulled out of the wall to the right. Jentri slept on the bed to the right that is below Christian. I slept on the bed to the left, there was a bed under mine that we pulled out for Makayla. It was small but we had fun. The last one is of the sunset in Junea Alaska.

After dinner the kids and I would wonder around the ship both in and out. We saw some amazing scenery! Very beautiful!!
