Friday, we went to Wyoming, to go to Amy and Kolby’s parent’s cabin. It is in the Uintah Mountains. It was really pretty! They finished it about a year ago, and are still working on the basement and final touches. They built it together as a family, which I think is cool, and did a great job. We went down to the pond the first night, and caught a frog, and looked for other critters. We walked around a bit, and went 4-wheeling. Am and Kolb just got a 4-wheeler, so it was fun to go out together. Then, we cooked up some hot dogs, and made some s’mores with these giant campfire br and marshmallows that were awesome! Kolby’s younger brothers, Drew and Marty also came along with. They are cool and helped watch the kids.

Roasting mallows by the camp fire. We found the best marshmallows to take camping - Campfire brand! They are ginormous and yummy, too!
The kids had a blast at the cabin!
All of us getting ready to leave. Thanks, Am and Kolb for the fun weekend!
The next morning, we made pancakes for breakfast, then headed out to turtle mountain, to go wheelin’ some more. It was a good place for riding. Emma loves it more and more each time we go. “Faster, daddy, faster!” she says, she loves the hills and going fast. Dave is pretty tame for her, but she has that need for speed. Callahan was enjoying it too.
Am and Kolb just got a 4-Wheeler, a Wolverine! We're excited to go riding with them more!
Lovin' it!
Cal loved watching all of the 4-Wheelers go fast!
What a fun day!
Emma just can't get enough!
Then, that night was a BBQ and family party with the Stoddard side of the family. We had hamburgers and hot dogs at Aunt Lois and Uncle Keith’s house, and the Emma and Cal had so much fun with their cousins!
Then there were fireworks at Davis High. It’s my favorite firework show! It’s always long, they set the fireworks to music, and it’s just fun. We went with Dave’s family. We had plenty of snacks, played games before it started, and there were plenty of glow sticks, courtesy of Grandma Sue. It was a busy and fun day!
Monday, was more Fourth fun! We started the day off at the Layton parade with the Miller’s and their family. Tavin and Alec are so cute, and so are their cousins – Annica, Tiana, Jadee, and Kennedy. They’re all adorable and we had a fun time with them! Emma absolutely loves parades and has been asking me for a couple months when we were going to go to parades. Cal loved waving at everyone and everything, and loved jamming out to the music. Emma loved the candy they threw!
Finally, we had a cookout with the Ryerse’s, and then played, went on a walk, and did our own fireworks. It was great!

I’ve been reflecting over the many freedoms I enjoy. I am grateful for our country. This is truly a blessed land, and I know the Lord helped guide our forefathers to make America what it is. We shouldn’t have won the war with England to gain our independence. The north had little chance of over-powering the south. The unity and peace of our land was threatened many times. But miracles occurred, with the help of our Heavenly Father, that helped to make this land what it needed to be to help restore and establish the gospel. I am grateful for that, and that I live here. The home of the free, land of the brave!
