Independence Day! Jubilee Days!

sunday i had madyn dress up all cute and patriotic.
eric had to work so we had to go to church by ourselves again.
little miss was in quite the goofball all day.


monday was the 4th!
eric had to choose a holiday to work so since labor day is around hunting season
that was out of the question.
so since he already had to work he decided that he was going to
work a double and pull in some extra dough!
so me and madyn decided that we were going to walk down to freedom
has a birthday over at washington park.
mads was pretty hesitant at first but slowly got into it.
she wanted to try the bouncy house... but got half way through and decided
that she was going to stop...
so the guy working the event had to go in after her
and help her the rest of the way through.
...not embarrassing for me at all!...



after the bouncy house the police station had a little road
set up with some bikes and walker cars.
and she wanted to do that too!
(i was seriously so suprised how willing she was to try everything!)





and of course we had to hit
up the swings and the playground!
it was about 2 o'clock so eric was going to be taking a lunch soon
so we waited around for him so we could get some yummy fair food!
after some free snow cones, funnel cakes, corn dogs
and another round of the car and street game
it was time to go home.


that evening madyn was sooooo excited to see the fireworks.
that was all she would talk about.
she just went on and on and on.
we were so happy because eric got off work just in time
to head out to watch them with us.
madyn was up just in time to see them start and was out before
the 15 minute show was over.


and the other big news of the night was she decided she wanted to start
using the potty again!
so lets go on round two!
and so far she has been doing pretty great!
wednesday night we had a activity with the young men and womens
to hidden falls.
it went great and the bishop made delicious ribs for after.
mark and brandy watched mads for us since i had that
and eric was at work.




she had so much fun with them.
they are pretty great to her.
thursday night we all headed up to Curt Gowdy to have dinner
and shoot their bows.


friday we headed up to rob roy to go fishing.
it was a slow slow day.... especially for me.
i did so good and was so patient for a long time...
but then i started to struggle.
i seriously didnt have a bite all stinking day long...
and then it was time to go.
so i did my count down and on my last cast- I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE!
and then i proceeded to fall in the river.
yep, right on my butt.
good thing we were already heading out.
saturday was brandys birthday and since she got a new pistol for her birthday
we went over to rodger's canyon to shoot some guns.














we had a good afternoon.
that evening we babysat the boys while mark and brandy
went out for a birthday dinner.
when they were all done we all headed over to the carnival 
for jubilee days.
madyn had SOOOO much fun!
her and easton rode the trail- or "trolly" as madyn calls it.





while we were at the trains we ran into Jake and Brittney.
we stood around and talked for a bit.
then we decided that we wanted to go ride the mechanical bull.
it was pretty fun and madyn even wanted to try!
the guy running the ride was way nice and told us that he would let madyn ride.
he went super slow and.... she HATED it!
she couldnt get off fast enough.
so me, eric, brandy and then brandy and easton rode.
it was pretty great.








after the bull the kids road the airplanes.
she was so excited to get to ride the princess airplane.
can i just say sometimes this little girl surprises me!
i couldnt believe how much fun she was having.
i dont know. maybe i just assume she is going to be shy and timid
but she was going strong.


now her favorite part of the carnival.
the slide...
she LOVED the slide.
we rode it 8.... im pretty sure 8 times.
and was devastated when we ran out of tickets
and it was time to go home.







we finished off the night with a delicious funnel cake.
my personal favorite part of the night.
madyn had soooo much fun.
it was a pretty great week
lots and lots of partying and having fun!
