Memories Created and Captured: The Fourth of July Holiday!

Last week for the week of the Fourth of July I didn't have work or my internship for the whole week! Basically that means that I did whatever I wanted. Just played mostly...and was a little bit lazy. Jacob and I went to Hobby Lobby, on walks, made food, ate cake and ice cream (it was his birthday), to the nickelcade.

As for the 4th of July celebrations, on the third Jacob and I went with my family to see Despicable Me 2! SO FUNNY! I love the little minions! We also kept on the tradition with Sami and Matt to eat at the Mandarin! Mmmmmmg good! And off to the fireworks at Eaglewood with Kate and Kye and Whitney and Jarom (good thing I have a boyfriend to keep me company with all these married people around ;). On the fourth I met some of Jacob's family at his grandma’s house and we ate food and played some fun games! After that the night was full of the Provo Festival thing...and fireworks, strawberry lemonade and the all American movie The Sandlot with Jacob and his brother Alex! Here are some pictures from the week...

Abby making us some bomb blini! it was her first time and she was pro! They were beautiful!

After we ate, Spencer Tierre and I made 2 beautiful creations with crayons, canvas and a blow dryer! haha so entertaining!

This is from Elder Lilinquist's wedding, unfortunately I didn't get a good picture but you can see Jacob on Brightwell's shoulders catching the garter! haha they are funny boys!

Yep! This boy here is now 23! Isn't he good looking? His birthday dinner request was german pancakes! ha that was a first for me but I think they turned out pretty well and he taught me the secret of putting lemon juice on them! Who knew? We had a bunch of mission friends over and had fun-fetti cake and Tilamook ice cream. We also got to skype with the Webbs in Washington which was SOO much fun!
