Fireworks and July 4th

On the Fourth of July, My family got together for a big Lunch. We had gourmet hot dogs with pulled pork you could stick on top.  To accompany the hot dogs were amazing salads of all sorts and side dishes. It was DELICIOUS!! We had fun talking and making memories. My dad had the best fashion statement for the red white and blue. I would have given him the best dressed award. Lani showcases the delicious hot dogs and sides we had.

Devon LOVES fireworks. He keeps asking me every night for fireworks. Luckily, tonight I can deliver since it is July 24th but the rest of the days I had to settle for the fireworks that come on right before a Disney Movie. Here, we are watching the July 4th fireworks at Thanksgiving Point. It was so fun having my family there with us and it was a good, long show. It took FOREVER to get out of there once they were done. Next time, I think I will park on the other side of the freeway.

Sushi House

So, we go to Sushi House in American Fork quite frequently and Devon has learned how to use the chopsticks, sit during dinner, and enjoy the sweet, delicious sushi. Here's some fun pics we took while we were waiting for our food.

Devon's Firsts

So we did a lot of things this week that just happen to be Devon's firsts. We went to a carnival called steeldays in American Fork and he finally got to ride some of the rides :) Here's some of the rides he enjoyed...

We also went to the Owls game a little while back which was his first time ever going to a baseball game. Here's some of the pics from the game

We also went to the Springville splash pad which he climbed his first rocks by himself without falling :)

We also went to the Thanksgiving point Farm and it was his first time feeding the goats and riding the horse all by himself.

Another First for Devon is the sweet, yummy, cotton candy. He had never eaten it before but he enjoyed the sugar :)

His next first was putting on shoes all by himself :) granted, they were not his but it is a start.

When we were hungry one night, we decided to go to Firehouse Subs and it was delicious and the whole time Devon was so excited, yelling, "TRUCKS!" So there we have his first time at Firehouse Subs in Lehi

He also went to the library for the first time and got his own books and went to his first story time. He is such a cute kid :) Then he read the books when we got home. He also conquered the playground equipment for his first time all by himself.

He also got his first sprained ankle :( Poor guy. He was jumping on the tramp and fell on it and started limping and couldn't walk on it. It healed quickly but it was sad to see him in pain for the short time it lasted. Here's his cute ankle all wrapped up.

And last of all, he watched his very first movie in the Thanksgiving Point Theater. The Movie was Despicable Me 2 and he made it most of the way without moving. Then he had to get down and play. Next time I will bring more treats and a drink to distract him :) We'll see if that works
