Happy Belated 4th

We hope you all had a happy and safe 4th of July! We took the opportunity here to have an extended weekend together and have had a good mix of work, fun and relaxing. On Friday night we started phase 1 of baby prep and got some of Caleb's room moved downstairs. That created more of a mess than I was ready for and we spent most of the day Saturday finishing that up and starting to prep his now "old" room for phase 2 - Moving the twins later in the month. But I am happy to say we got it done and he's a happy camper in his new space. We also took a couple breaks that day to let the kids play outside and run through the sprinklers and have some fun. On Sunday we took the kids to the local outdoor swimming pool and let them at it. They had a ball for nearly 3 hours. After we were done there we decided to grab a quick late lunch and ice cream at Dairy Queen then came home for some much needed naps. We finished off the night with lighting off the fireworks we had purchased for home. On the 4th we woke up and I made some red white and blue and star shaped pancakes and some flag sugar cookies for the boys. We spent most of the day at home lounging and waiting for time for the Bees baseball game. When the time finally arrived we headed out and had some fun watching the game, eating ballpark food and mostly watching the fireworks after the game. They always do a great fireworks show after it which is why we try to make it our tradition to go every year. We got home late and hit the sack. Today we took off "just because" and have spent the day relaxing for the most part. We did venture down to Orem to take the kids to Pirate Island Pizza. I'm not really going to say I was disappointed in it, because we did have some fun. But really, not sure it was worth the drive for us. It was fun to try out something new though. I can't believe our long weekend is coming to a close and it's back to the grindstone tomorrow for a few days of work before another weekend. I think we can handle it though and are looking forward to a quick Price trip this weekend to visit and go to a wedding.
