One Nation Under God

This 4th of July, more than any other, has made me so grateful for our Heavenly Father and our Savior. It's always amazing to me how connected our country and the gospel are. This weekend was such a great time full of family, fun, freedom and opportunity after opportunity for testimony growth. I have lots of pictures and lots of stories, but I'll limit this post to only a few of each. 

The parade was amazing, in fact, I pulled a Grandma Sherwood and cried though a large chunk of it. We had some Apache helicopters join the parade, Grandpa Sherwood was the oldest mounted cowboy. It was just beautiful!




The fun my nieces and nephews got to have after the parade was simply delightful!



My mom's 40th class reunion was a success, and I was glad I got to hang out and watch those people enjoy each other's company! It was also my brother Matt's class reunion. From what I hear, they had a good time! :)

Markee's baby shower was great! I even made her model the diaper bag I made her....good laughs!

Fishing with the fam was to no avail, but sure was relaxing and fun.





I love my daddy!



(Sorry Bryan, it was taking too long to upload the pictures, so I had to shrink them.)

Ash,
The pic of you dad on the bank of the pond is precious! How the heck are you? What have you guys been up to? Hope everything is going great...Remember how I still have yet to meet this Colin? I am not sure that he is even real, although from the pictures and such I might believe that he is a real person. Be good, talk to ya laters
