4th Of July In Show Low

It has been a tradition for my family to spend the 4th of July in Show Low. We missed it last year, because we had just moved up to UT. I made sure that we planned our summer Arizona trip so that we were in Show Low to continue the tradition. It was so fun seeing all of my family!

Mom and Kenzie enjoying the parade! I was called the "Mista Sista" because I ran up and down our group misting everyone with my squirt bottle. No heat strokes occurred while watching the parade.

It was fun having all of the sisters in Show Low for the 4th celebration!

Grandpa, Kenzie, and Matthew watching the awesome fireworks!We had a really good time visiting Great-Grandma Nikolaus. She is such an example of love and kindness. We love her!

You Put A Smile On My Face With The Funny Things You Say

Kenzie got dressed for Kindergarten and she put on a turtle neck. When I asked how she wanted me to do her hair, she insisted I did it like a turtle's!:)

When Kynlee was just 5 years old, she had a friend named Sam. He was over playing one day, and when I asked her what kind of sandwich she wanted she said, "I want Sam...I mean ham!"

Matthew really has his heart set on playing in the NBA. He knows that they play games on Sundays, so his solution to making it to church and taking the sacrament is, "I will just ask my Ward if they can always meet at the early block, and I'll repent on the airplane if it is an away game!"

Mom: "Deep down I don't think it is a good idea."

Karley: "In your feet?"

Kenzie is a polite little girl. I overheard her talking in her sleep one night saying, "No thanks." She even uses her manners while dreaming.

Karley found one of her toys that had been broken and said, "Whoever did this is going to pay the bill!"

Driving over the Glen Canyon Dam on our way down to AZ, Kynlee said, "The beavers must have worked hard on this one!"

When Matthew was 2 yrs. old, we went to the airport to pick Matt up from a work trip. Matthew was looking out the window, watching the airplanes take-off and said, "Look Mom! That airplane is doing a pop-a-wheelie!"

Kenzie likes to pinch our cheeks and say, "You chubby cheeks." One day I had her in the shower with me and she pinched my behind and said, "You chubby butt!"
