July 4th!

JULY 4TH AND SUCH...

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays ever. This year we got to spend it with the Love family, plus the extended Johnson family. We stayed the weekend at Justin's parents house in Idaho Falls and got to spend time with his brother Jeremy and his family, Tiffany, McKinna, and Jamison, and also with Justin's sister Rachael and her family, Randy and Cannon. On the morning of the 4th we all got up early to go sit on 4th street and watch the parade in Idaho Falls. It's always fun to see the floats that people make. After the parade, we went to the annual picnic/BBQ at Grandma Johnson's house. Yay for steaks, cookie salad, Jim and Camille's 7 layer salad, and Jennie's Salad (jello/graham cracker dessert)! After naps we all went to our plot of land on the river to watch the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration Fireworks Show. We actually googled the fireworks show and it is like #13 in the nation. That's pretty cool! We took some pictures of Aaliyah during the fireworks because it was so funny to watch her. She loved them! She just stared at the fireworks and then she started smiling at them. After about halfway through she fell asleep. Don't ask how she fell asleep, I guess she just takes after her parents and can sleep anywhere and through anything. :)  I also realized that I seem to only take pictures of Aaliyah lately. I need to start taking more pictures of Justin and I and other people. :)

This was me trying to get Aaliyah to laugh for the camera. She smiles and laughs all the time, but our camera is so slow that it always misses the moment! The pictures are backwards, but if you go from the bottom up, she is looking at me like I'm crazy. It's pretty funny with her big eyes! Lol, but then I get her to smile, you can see the end of her smiling in these first 2 pictures.

JULY 4TH PICTURES! :)
