Every year our stake puts on a show for the 4th of July at our Stake Center. The kids have so much fun and this is Alexis' 3rd year participating. The little 3-5 year olds walk down the ramp in a costume that is different every year. This year the kids had to wear cheerleading outfits or sports outfits! Alexis loves being on the stage and is definitely my daughter...which I got told numerous times since I grew up in this stake and people watched me every year in this show. In fact, Chad and I first met 13 years ago when we were just 15 years old at a 4th of July practice.

After the 2nd of 3 shows. I realized I never take family pictures onholidays...and I'm determined to change even though I got a nice grunt
from Chad when I asked his Dad to take our picture! Get used to it!
I loved these pictures of Alexis and me! I couldn'tdecide which picture I liked better...so here's both!
After the last show, we hurried home and packed up our stuff to join Chad's family in BigBear. (Usually we stay in HB and watch the fireworks at the beach...but this was a nice
change. Especially since groups of people were downing HUGE bottles of liquor outside
our courtyard screaming non-sense with cow horn hats as we were packing the car!
And this was at 11am people!) When we got to Big Bear we enjoyed spending time with
Chad's grandma. She has such a great sense of humor and always keeps us laughing.
That night we watched the fire works over the lake. We always love a little weekend getaway!
Carter just chilled, which is so him!
Alexis just kept asking us when it was going to be done.(even before it started) She's not a huge fan of fireworks!

This is a comment from Bob - not Jenny. Chad - get used to family pictures. We went to seattle for the 4th and my wife took over 350 pictures in 6 days...But we do have some great memories now. I complain in the moment but am glad later when I can look at them.
Too cute! So sad I missed Alexis as a cheerleader. She looks so cute in those pictures!

How fun that you went to big bear for the 4th. Alexis is totally going to be a cheerleader when she grows up. She fits the outfit perfectly. I miss you guys. We need to hang when I get back from Hawaii.
Ahhhh the 4th of July shows...where it all began. We were thinking of making the trek for the twins to be in the show, but with gas booming...we thought against it and went to the river instead. I still remember Alexis' Ruby's outfit! So much fun...
