Fourth of July

Munds Park used to be a quiet little place with a small 4th of July Parade where all the kids would ride their bikes down the street.  Oh, it's grown...

Waiting for the parade

All lined up

There were all kinds of tractors and trucks, fancy cars, trailers, military, etc.  It was incredible!  And then afterwards, there was a carnival near the country club.

Chase wanted his hair spray painted.  Seemed out of character, but he was very proud of it.

I think the bouncy houses were his favorite activity.

That or eating chips with Mimi

And his minion popsicle.

Happy 4th from the Hardy boys!

For the 4th of July weekend, Chase, Ty, and I rode-tripped with Gram to Arizona.  We spent a few days at the cabin with Mimi and Grandpa.

It was great to be in Arizona again.  And the cabin is so nice and relaxing.  We'll have to drive down more often now that it isn't across the country!

Brian ♥ Courtney : Reception

The reception was at The Wright House in Mesa.  It's a gorgeous location!  And the tables and decorations were beautiful.  Plus the weather was nice -- seriously, an awesome day for a wedding!

Chase was still a little annoyed, but he let us put a bowtie on him :)

Little turd boy... playing near the water... with that devious smile

Chase just wanted to run and splash in the fountains...

Page girls!

This is a favorite.

Pretending to behave

More snacks.  Always more snacks.

Jake and Chase

Beautiful centerpieces

Chase checking out the centerpieces

And then blowing out the candles

It was a really fun reception.  Lots of family, friends, and people from the Bethany Home Ward -- it was seriously a huge Arizona reunion :)  Even Marcus ran into people he knew, beyond our family!  The food was delicious, and Chase was still at at least 500% energy level.  He would dance to the music and wander around the tables.  At least he's nice and happy, right?

Cake cutting

And it finally crashed.

Congratulations Brian and Courtney!
