We had a fantastic weekend. Tons of fun with the family. Tons of great food. An all around amazing time. On Saturday we went shopping & ended up getting a kitten. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen. We love him so much. We are having a hard time getting our adult cat to like him & welcome him into the family. The Vet said it could take up to a month. That'll be fun't. If anyone has ever experienced this & has some advice for me I'd love to hear it!
On Sunday we all went up into the mountains for a picnic & hike. It was so beautiful up there! We wanted to hike all the way up to the top of a waterfall, but there was some flooding & we couldn't make it all the way up. We still spent a few hours out there & had a blast.
Then it was Monday - the 4th!!! I love it! We had so much fun. We took it easy, slept in, ate some delicious French toast, played games outside, watched Big, & then went over to Reese's uncle's house to have a BBQ. So much food. It's a little bit sick & wrong how much food we ate all weekend! We played Ping Pong & Cowboy Golf [I wish I had a picture of me schooling EVERYONE at Ping Pong. I rocked it.]

Now for the best part of the day - darkness! We can finally do some FIREWORKS!!! Oh, don't worry - I had been doing firecrackers all weekend & I never blew any fingers off - mine or anyone else's. Reese's parents spent a lot of money on artillery shells [the big pretty ones], but my favorites are Blooming Flowers & Fountains. Lame, I know. But the flowers are fun to hold until they're about to go off & then throw them up in the air as high as I can & watch them spin while they fall. It's one of the simple joys in life, I guess.
Oh, for those Harry Potter fans out there, my sister-in-law & I totally nerded out with Roman Candles & had a wand war. Yeah, we're that awesome.

All in all it was a great weekend, with lots of food, family, & fun. I love spending time with family! This coming weekend we're headed to Utah & see my side of the family [and for a dentist appointment-more on that later]! I can't wait to see my family.
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th as well. Enjoy the rest of your week =)

Have a FAB day!
Looks like you had a great weekend! We didn't get to do much firework stuff--we drove home on Monday, but had a blast four wheeling over the weekend.
Oh how I love to see pictures! I wish more people would post pics! For real! And I'm digging your eye shadow. HOW CUTE!!! And you have long eye lashes so now I have to hate you.
Love all the pics!! I love fireworks but not actually setting them off. I'm just a watcher! :)
The wands are great! (Can't wait to see the next HP movie).
Your new kitty is ADORABLE! I just saw the pics in the previous post. I want a kitten so bad!
We are new Harry Potter fans! I need a wand!
