4th of July

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th, this officially starts the countdown to my birthday in one month.

Ok, that's not really the point of the day so without getting too mushy I just want to say I'm grateful for all the freedoms we enjoy here and I need to think about it more often. I'm glad we have this time to remind us and celebrate it.

I went to the Freedom Festival in the morning with my friend Elizabeth and had fun browsing thru all the booths and tents and things. I got a cute bracelet and we split a yummy Navajo Taco for lunch.

This guy had a cool reptile show, he was really funny and good with the kids (wonder if he's single?) The creepiest part was when he was showing how "safe" this huge black scorpion was by putting it in his mouth!! The whole thing. It was pretty gross.
Even worse though that the scorpion in the mouth part was when Elizabeth and I went past a booth where they had some muscle/joint type cream. Elizabeth has arthritis so she told the guy and he squirted some on her hand.....then he looks and me and says "How about you Mom?" What the !?!?!?! I said "Mom?" so he responded by saying, "well, you're somebody's mom right?" No actually I'm not and by the way I'm not pregnant either, I'm just chubby in case you were gonna make me feel better about myself by asking that next. It hurt at first but then I remember that most people tell me I look young for my age so I'm gonna stick with that thought.

That night we all went to Jared's (Amy's Finace') house for a BBQ and watched him eat the biggest hamburger ever, I'll have to get the pictures from Amy so you can see.

Aren't they just too cute for words....

After the BBQ we went to watch the firework show put on my Sandy city. We got some good seats on the hill at a high school near where they shot them off.


Its really hard to take a picture of fireworks because by the time I clicked the button the sparks were gone, here's the one I got.

This is Amy, Me and Elizabeth
