On the road! We headed up to Cedar City to enjoy the 4th with family! But first we stopped at Eryka's to pick up orders of her delicious apples!! We can't pass through her town without snagging up those yummy deliciousness! lol

We were up early to make it to the parade! We love the small town feel! The parade was 2 hrs! Can you believe that! The kids had a blast!

Then it was off to watch fire works! We always go to the airport and watch them off the tarmac! The fire work show was beautiful!! Love the night all lit up!

Sunset photos are the best!!! and especially fun off Penny's digital camera! Cash's photo shoot! lol He was definitely loving the attention from his big sis! lol He's such a handsome little fella! :)

Saturday the girls and I met up with Erin! We shopped all the boutiques in Cedar and ate at our favorite burger place Hermy's! We had so much fun just us girls! 

While the girls were out shopping Honz and Cash went to the ranch for the day! They had such a fun day! Their kind of play is actually working! lol But Honz loves it! Cash definitely played! They came home dirty which is the prefect sign of a fun filled amazing ranch day!

Spent the rest of the evening playing Mario Cart for hours at Erin's house! lol Literally had so much fun! All of us taking turns playing! Then the next day- Sunday Fun-day we packed up and headed home! Of course stopping in Ivans to see Eryka and grab more apples for our Vegas friends! and another quick stop to see fave cousin Angela and Alen! Cash played on the suron while we chatted! Love seeing my family even if it's a quick little chat! We had such a wonderful 4th holiday weekend making memories!

Day1: Penny and Maddie off to FSY!!! There's she goes!! Off for a week! Left a piece oy my heart at the UNLV campus! lol Saying our goodbyes for a whole wk! lol Oh how we are going to miss our lucky Penny around here! Penny absolutely had the time of her life last year at FSY at UNLV and planned to go this year with her bestie cousin Maddie! These 2 are the best of friends! Can't believe from planning the week and getting all registered together here we are dropping them off! Time flies! The exciting part about going on this wk she had found out her Washington Bestie that visits every summer was coming on her wk to FSY and her bff cousin Mav!! All lined up on the same wk without even planning it! Crazy right! I love it for these kids! Penny was so excited!! We stopped and fed the girls their "last supper" lol at the new Costa Vida! It was delicious! I say "last supper" because Penny said the food was not very good last year when she went so we packed extra snacks and fed her good before dropping her off! 

Day 1: All checked in and finding her dorm! We did a quick rearrange to their room! lol and got them all settled! Love that Lauren and I drove down together to get them all dropped off and settled in! We even had to take dorm pics too! Just like out girls! hahaha I love the friendship and bond Lauren and I have and here all these years later our girls have the same bond and connection! Couldn't have asked for a better bestie for Penny! We love beautiful Maddie!

Day 1: Love the fit check!!! They got changed into their FSY tees and met their company! Penny finally found bff cousin Mav!!! They realized they didn't have the same food wrist band or the same company so they didn't see each other a whole lot but when they did Penny would send me a pic! lol 

Day 2: Fit check!! Devotionals and classes! and then another fit change to go to the opening dance!

Day 2: Dance kick off! Look at the friends she has already made! Love my social butterfly! Remember my old digital camera she discovered while de-junking the play room! Well she got it up and running and took it with her!! Just look at the fun she's having with that old vintage piece! lol It still takes dang good pics too! I love this for her! My mini picture queen! 

Day 3: These 2 cuties started every morning with a fit check to me and Lauren! We loved it! It was the highlight of our morning! They were up early and off to morning devotional everyday! Packed full day of fun! She is loving her new friend group it was just growing with friends! She even reconnected with a few kids that she met last year at FSY! How cool is that! Landed on the same wk yet again! Fate bringing them back together! lol

Day 4: Fit check! This was church attire day! Each day jammed packed! They kept these kids busy!! Penny is building deeper connections with Christ and building new connections with friends! Her testimony is getting stronger! Her lover for her Savior is growing deeper! Her friend group is growing bigger! She is having the time of her life! This is what FSY is all about!!

Day 5: Las full day! Got our fit check too! The week has flown by! She literally has had the best wk ever! So many amazing things have gone on this wk for her! Spiritually and socially! She had fit change as she headed off to the dance! 

Day 5: Final Dance! Last hang out together! Oh man did they ever pull out that old vintage digital camera this night! I'm pretty sure there was no dancing and all posing and picture taking! hahaha I absolutely love the pics!! 

Day 5: More flix from the last dance! Capturing their memories together! 

Day 5: Oh and one more collage of dance pics! Such fun pics! 

Day 6: One last fit check!! The FSY wk is over! I get my #1 girl back!! Oh how we missed her so much around here! Our wk was quiet and boring with out her around! lol I realized this wk I for sure can't live with out my best friend! She is the life of the party and keeps me on the go! I love it!! She had an amazing wk at FSY and was sad it ended! She can't wait to go again next year and is hoping her wk will land on the same wk again as her amazing friends!
