Bieber Fever!

This last weekend was the much anticipated Justin Bieber concert! We went down to Salt Lake with a few of the girls' friends and their moms. There was 11 of us total. I think the concert pretty much exceeded the girl's and my expectations. I don't think any of us have been anywhere so loud in our entire lives!! There can't really be anything quite louder than thousands of tweeny boppers screaming at the top of their lungs at anything--and I mean ANYTHING! They'd scream at anyone that walked on stage, if the lights dimmed down, anytime the opening act would say Justin's name, and that's all before he even came on stage! Once he came out--forget about it! You can't even hear the person next to you. My girls may have lost their voices and I may have lost my hearing, but it was so much fun! So happy to have shared it with my girls!

We carpooled in our friend's big white van. You can't see it very well in the picture but the girls wrote all over the windows "Bieber Fever" "I love Justin Bieber" etc. We got a lot of looks, honks and some even stopped and took pictures. We sorta felt like celebrities.


We stopped for lunch at Red Robin

I think this picture pretty much sums up their excitement and just how LOUD it was!


4th of July 2010


Another fantastic 4th of July has come and gone. The morning was spent at the annual Idaho Falls parade. Love it! Look forward to it every year. Then we went to Josh's sister Melissa's new house is Rigby for lunch. So happy to have them close now. Then the day ended with a bang at the fireworks. There's something so comforting and secure about holiday traditions. And the 4th will always be a family favorite!






Yes, I'm aware that Katelyn makes this face in every picture. With or without flashing the peace sign.




Mason's traditional 4th of July 'do.

A fun festive variation of a trifle. Yum!

The kids sipped on rootbeer floats at the fireworks.



By the end of the night the kids were zonked out for the drive home.
