4th of July!

Walking to the Freedom Festival from our apartment.

We went to Pleasant Grove to see some fireworks.  Nate had to work that night so I took Nate's sister, Charity with me instead.  She didn't want to take a picture but I made her do it anyways :)

Our large array of snacks for the occasion.  Waiting for fireworks is no fun when you don't have snacks!

It kept raining on and off so we had an umbrella to share

After the fireworks show, we had some sparklers and a couple of little fireworks to play with at home so Nate could see some too.  Charity was scared of the sparklers so we let her light one first hehe

Mine really startled me at first cause they would explode out the top before they started sparkling!

Nate about to set off a little ground one called "Short Stack"

The Short Stack in action.  Don't worry, it was cooler than this picture makes it look.

 

Me, setting off the last of the sparklers.  Such a fun day!

Ever wondered how I look with long hair?

Well wonder no more!!  This is exactly what I look like with crappy, cheap hair extensions in :) 

I think they make me look like I'm 12

And this is what you do when it's raining outside and you don't want your hair to get wet!

Cinco de Mayo

I've decided that I apparently don't get blog posts up until about a month after they've actually happened.  So...  You can look for the 4th of July post in August!  For now, here was our cinco de mayo yummy dinner :)

This was the mango salsa.  The bowl on the left was mine because it didn't have as much cilantro

 Nate made homemade Chicken, feta and lime taquitos

This is actually leprechaun stew but since I didn't get a change to make any for St. Patrick's day this year, Nate let me make it for Cinco de Mayo instead :)  Lime still works for mexican food right?

Nate also made his own refried beans with black beans.  They were SO good!

I'd say the meal was a success.  And the leftovers even tasted good!
