let freedom ring.

happy 4th of july!

this year it is a weekend full of celebration.

having the 4th on a sunday, and living in utah, the celebrations are scattered all over the place.

yesterday we celebrated by going boating.

unfortunately, the weather hasnt been anything above what feels like 70 degrees.

so what did we do? 

we took the boat and anchored in the marina.

ate some lunch.

talked while the wind blew our hair.

it was relaxing.

but since the weather wasnt anything great down by the lake we decided to go swimming.

and yes, it was much much warmer.

 that night we went to my uncles house to watch the infamous fireworks from the stadium of fire.

such a perfect view from their beautiful yard.

and not to mention very romantical.

today all of us cousins got together for my uncles baby blessing.

another cousin was welcomed to our clan.

i think that makes around 59.

it was a fun get together with yummy breakfast foods.

tomorrow morning they are holding the 4th of july parade.

i dont know why they didnt do it on saturday.

who can go to the parade on monday anyways? 

people usually have to work.

oh well, i wont get to attend that event.

my mr. bf landon is going skydiving.

{more on that tomorrow evening}

in honor of the 4th i did make a dress.

i was all confused because i couldnt figure out when i should wear it.

sooo i chose yesterday to be the day.

 sorry for the bad quality.

i might have to 'reenact' the moment so we can get a better picture.

i will definitely take a more detailed picture of my dress so that i can tell you guys how easy it was to make.

for now, i hope you guys have a wonderful 4th of july.

take the time to think about how thankful we really should be for the freedom we are blessed to have.
