The 4th of July and the importance of SUNSCREEN!!

I have reached the halfway mark of living in Provo for the summer!!  I cannot believe how fast the past six weeks have gone!!  I started going to a singles ward with one of Emily friends and it has been awesome!!  Funny side note, So this guy in my ward is actually the one who made this video!!

How General Authorities Eat their Reeses Peanut Butter Cups :)

Anyways, Everyone that I've met in this ward have been super awesome!! 

Last Saturday, Emily, Keith and I went to Thanksgiving Point and looked at the farm animals :)  Haha :)  It was nice to go out and do something and most of the animals there aren't animals that we have on our farm at home so it was still pretty fun!  

A super awesome bench that was outside the door.

Keith is getting sooo big!!  I can't believe how much he has grown in the month and a half since I have been here!!  He is soo adorable!!!

On Wednesday, Emily made some DELICIOUS cupcakes for work and for the 4th of July.  

Finally, on the 4th of July, my brother Cliff and his wife Nancy who have been in Korea for a year, came down to Provo after being in Weiser for a few days, so I spent a large part of the day with them.  We went to a reservoir, i think it's called Deer Creek Reservoir, and went swimming.  It was a lot of fun to get to spend time with them since I hadn't seen them in over a year!

Before I left, Emily made sure that I had a bunch of sunscreen so that I wouldn't get sunburned but I didn't actually put any on except for on my face and in the part of my hair. Biggest mistake of my life!!  I have had some REALLY bad sunburns in my life but this one is worse or equal to one that I had last summer.  I was thinking, oh, I'm so pasty white, I won't get sunburned that bad......  um, whatever!  

My back is even worse!  Needless to say, I haven't slept very well the past two nights!!  

Clay also came home for the long weekend so that has been great!!  On Friday night, we had a barbecue at Nancy's sister's house which was great.  Anyways, this last week has been a loooonnnggg one!  Not bad though!  I'm so thankful that we have the privilege to live in America and that the founding fathers had the courage to stand up for what they believed in!
