The 4th of July was a good one. Although a little weird not having AJ' s mom with us physically, but she was with us. It started out AJ taking Jayden to the Provo Parade. Then we went to my sister Megan's house for a good bbq and some fireworks. Jayden always has fun at Megan's house. He loves playing with the track hoes that she has. Then we went to AJ's sister Mandi house to end the night with a nice firework display done by Tanner.
