A way too busy 24th of July week

Our 24th celebrating started on the 23rd. First that day I took the boys to the free movie at the movie theater which was Aladdin I thought they would enjoy it after that we raced home for the boys to take a short nap while I got ready to go to the parade. Paul's family always goes and saves spots right at the beginning by the announcing tower because before the parade starts the give away lots of free stuff and get the most candy because it is the beginning. So we went to that and the kids had a blast. I left the kids there with Paul's sister and went and meet Paul to go to the Deseret News Marathon VIP dinner me and Paul have been helping out at since before we were married. Paul got the volunteer of the year award we ate good food and got to listen to Peter Breinholt perform. Then once that was done we raced back home to watch the fireworks and get our kids from Paul's sister. The next day Paul helped out at the race in the morning while I stayed home with the kids and got ready for that afternoon/evening were we went to Paul's parents house for swimming, BBQ and fireworks. The little kids and big kids (AKA men) had fun Paul and his brothers every year make a sparkler firework and each year it get bigger and bigger this year it was almost 3000 sparklers. Firday was back to work and we needed a break so we didn't do much, then Saturday we went up to the outlets in Park City and bought clothes for the boys for next summer since tons of clothes were on clearnace we got Children's Place polo shirts for $2 then for lunch we went to on of my favorite resturaunts Baja Cantina. Then we got home and my mom invited us up for dinner and fireworks so we went and did that Kaden and Tanner got their first experience with Pops and they learned that it is fun to throw them at people thanks to Paul and Uncle Dallas. But they had lots of fun. Kaden and Tanner watching the parade Logan first time swimming Kaden and Tanner enjoying pops

Jen I have been noticing your Disney land trip counter up at the top of your blog and I just have to tell you that I get more and more jealous each day it get's closer. I wish we would have planed a fun trip like that. You will have to let me know how it goes with three kids! I am sure you will have a blast!
