4th of July Celebration!

God Bless America!
Twin Falls is a beautiful city and we enjoyed it yesterday. We had a picnic down in the canyon below the Perrine Bridge. Carl and I went for a great motorcycle ride, while Kya played with Gma M. I felt like we were riding around the country living the American dream. I know...sounds silly, but I love going for rides with my sweety.
Kya went for her own ride.
Popsicles of course.
Cousins.
Sparklers.



And a great fireworks show, that I thoroughly enjoyed. Kya sat on our laps the whole time, enjoying the fireworks, but also asking to go home and go to bed. The girl loves her sleep. I love the Fourth of July.

That looks like Kya had a great
4th of July. Looks like she had a hard time with the sparklers the first time too. We went to a friend's house and had a wonderful time but as always, we forgot our camera. Rianne stepped on the piece of her sparkler that fell off and burnt her foot but we had a blast. It was great seeing you guys last week and we can't wait to see you at the family reunion.

Looks like such a fun fourth! Glad you got to enjoy a fun day with your little family and extended family. Kya looks adorable, too!

So where's the pictures of you and Carl all decked out in your biker gear? I'll be waiting...

Isn't the 4th so fun? It was a pretty hot day, but the evening was perfect for fireworks. Looks like you guys had fun. That's fun to have a mortocycle and someone to watch Kya. I've been getting bugged to get one lately, but I just can't justify it with two kids, but it would be so much fun!:) I saw your sisters family pics on your photo blog. Very cute. Did you do some down in the canyon? We were supposed to get our family pics done a couple of weeks ago and then Macy got what we thought was pink eye(ended up being allergies) and then Brady's tongue too. He has to have surgery to remove the growth on it so I think we'll wait til after that. Another month or so. How much do you charge to do pics anyway? I have a girl I always refer, but she's getting booked fast so I'm sure I could throw some business your way.

I love the Last sparkler smile. That's sounds fun having a picnic by the bridge. We do miss the beautiful canyon walks there in Twin.

Hey, I have a friend that used to work at the Buckle years ago that is doing photography on the side like you. She has another full time job, but she is pretty good. She has some backgrounds and props and stuff. She's the one who took our last ones down at the falls FOREVER ago! We really need to get them updated. I want to do some fun ones with the kids though, blowing bubbles and just goofing off, more candid. We'll see:)

Hey girl, I haven't seen in you in such a long time. I was on Jana's website and saw your site so thought I would pay a little visit. What a beautiful family you have! I'm glad that you are doing so well. I'm working on my own blogspot, although it's coming along very slowly. I'm hoping to get better at it. Visit me at colemanduo.blogspot.com. I will be keeping in touch with ya!

I love the video on the previous post of her saying"excuse me"! What a polite little girl! The 4th of July pics are adorable! I love to see kids reactions with sparklers!

Lacey said...

Can't argue with a kid that loves to sleep! Sounds like you had a lovely holiday weekend.

Haven't talked to you in a while. Looks like you got settled back into Twin Falls life nicely!

Okay, so I'm getting caught up on your blog... sorry I haven't commented lately. :)

You look H-O-T in that first picture! Does Carl even know how lucky he has it? Hehe.

Christina Huling said...

Paula, you look so beautiful here. How is it that you always look so great. I remember the hair. I think you will always make it look great! Kya is looking older like a big girl!
