Rowley's: 4th of July Parade in Hyrum

A Smile for Today!

Lexie was the last one at the dinner table. She tells me, "Mom, if I'm not at the table, don't get mad at me. It's my body's fault. This food is just so delicious that my body just wants to dance."

Lexie was opening a package that had wires and plastic tags through the cardboard. She says, "Those Darn Chinese! They make it so hard to get into these things!"

In Relief Society I recieved a handout with a piece of licorice attached. I gave the licorice to Lexie. She says to me, "Do they always give you licorice at Relief Society?" I answer, "No."
She says, "Just when you been good, Huh?"

I know it is September, but I still want to post stuff about our summer that I didn't get posted. For the last three years we have gone to the Hyrum 4th of July Parade. We have to take our chairs down the night before to save our spot. The girls love it and after two years of me helping them get candy, they finally figured out how to get it on their own!!!!

Our 4th of July celebrations were kinda quiet. Jim's Grandpa passed away the day before the 4th, so we didn't have any family BBQ's to go to. Instead we let the kids swim and we did a BBQ at our house. Jim's parents came along with a few others. This was the last get together we had at our house before we moved.
