4th of July 2012

 We had a fun 4th of July this year. I bought the kids new outfits from the Gap (my favorite store) and they looked very cute. We took the kids to the Provo Freedom Festival and I want to do that every year. They had free crafts for the kids, a snake from Scales and Tails (which Emmett loved), and much more. I know I've basically lived here my whole life and this was my first time going, but it was awesome. That afternoon we had a swimming party at my moms house and then fireworks on the curbside for the kids.

Check out the next three pictures of a good game of Peek-A-Boo!

Adah was a little scared of the first works and kept getting down from my lap to go sit with Nana. I thought that was adorable! Nana is good with babies.

Nana

My Grandma (Nana) had a stroke last Thursday. She's doing great now but it was pretty scary. She's 91 years old and in really good health. She's a very busy woman. She goes to senior citizens, PW (presbyterian woman), church, goes to REAMS grocery store daily, drives herself to get her hair/nails done, attends all family gatherings, works in the yard, the list goes on... My mom was telling us the story of when it happened, and they were in walmart and she saw my grandma start to fall. She caught her and immediately know what had happened. My mom yelled for somebody to call 911 and they sat her in a chair. My Grandma said she didn't feel anything coming on and she remembers it all. She said she remembers trying to tell my mom something but her words came out slurred. I asked my Grandma if she remembered what she was trying to tell my mom and my Grandma said, "Ohhhh I don't rememeber. I was probably trying to tell her not to call 911." So typical...Nana won't make a peep if anything is wrong with her and doesn't like the attention. I just loved her response! Luckily though they got her to hospital very quickly, which helped cause less damage to her brain. I'm very thankful my mom was with her when it happened. I sure love Nana and would like to keep her around as long as possible!
