July 4th

Independence Day this year meant work for both Jared and me. We both have early schedules and had to work 6am to 2:30pm. This meant JR had to wake up super early from his slumber because his Uncle Maitlnd and Aunt Katie were kind enough to babysit him and bring him up to Garden Valley where the rest of the family was hanging out.

JR with Mo and Aunt Cathie's new puppy Bella although we aren't sure who is walking who...



The cousins filled up lots of water balloons and I think JR was about ready to launch one here...



JR was made a Junior Deputy/Firefighter and got to sit in the big fire truck with Uncle Maitland...



I guess they put sunscreen in his hair to protect his scalp. It did wonders for his hairstyle...



Jared and I arrived just in time for the parade and we thought JR would be pretty excited to see us but as it turned out he was pretty mad that we woke him up ridiculously early, dropped him off at Maitland and Katie's and didn't come get him until the evening. He spent almost the entire time at the parade with Grandpa Fritzley...



That evening we went up to Jared's parents cabin. They have the topmost lot on Castle Mountain and they took us in their "buggy" on the four wheeler trails to go check out a sheep herder who moves through with 500 head every summer. He travels 17 miles across the mountains. They were not too far at all from the cabin and we got really close to them. It was pretty cool actually and I was really sad that I didn't grab my camera.
