Some July Things

We managed to cram a few more fun things in to July before it left us.
Maybe I should divide these up in to numerous blog posts, but I never get the time....so get ready!

We blessed our baby boy, Spencer, in church on July 17th. It was so beautiful. Then he promptly messed his blessing outfit and had to change out of it. So, no pictures!
Dang it.
But we did get a few pictures of the fun luncheon we had with our family and friends.

Lovin' on his Aunt Becky

Fooooooood!

While Ben was in San Diego for Comic Con the next week, I thankfully stayed with his family while they were Here. Teresa took such good care of us, and even braved the spinning strawberry ride at the carnival for Harmony!

See, the 24th of July is Pioneer Day. So in Utah they have all these things going on that week. Utah LOVES fireworks, so they shoot them off a second time in July for this holiday. Lucky us, they light them in the park behind Ben's parents house, so we get a cozy close-up view....

They also have a sweet carnival for a few days! and I got to go with Ben's bro Matt, and his sisters Becky and Sarah. It was pretty sweet to get out and play for a while.
Apart from making myself totally sick on the "Tornado."
Next time I volunteer to ride one of those rides despite my better judgement,
just punch me in the face ok? :)

Harmony LOVED the fireworks show this year! She was clapping and shouting and really excited. I'm not sure if you can see her in this video, but you can definitely hear her having fun :)

Here's the video Link cos uploading to Blogger is ridiculous.

Then, our friend and neighbor McKinley invited us to join her for CAMP PROVO! It's basically her family's celebration of all the awesome things to do around here near Provo. It lasts several days and she planned tons of super fun activities to do! Here's the ones we went and did...

First, we went to Provo Beach Resort with Steve! We rode the carousel, played games and played in the playplace for EVER. Later that day we got to see behind the scenes of the 2nd largest post office hub in Utah, the East Bay Post Office!

Post Office Tour!

Then we went to Kneaders for all you can eat French Toast...which we each ate two of those HUGE suckers...

 Taking a break from eating to pose for a pic

THEN we got a private tour of the the LDS Motion Picture Production Studios in Provo! Basically any Mormon film you've ever seen probably has been shot here...I know I recognized a lot of scenery! It was awesome...and BEAUTIFUL! It was like traveling all the way to Illinois to be in the trees and shade ... but with no humidity ;) It was way fun!!

SO, here is a link to allllll the pictures

Next Up...COMIC CON
