Sorry

I am so sorry that it has been so long since i have written anything in such a long time it has been an interesting month. And also sorry that i have no pictures. I am at work typing this and do not have access to pictures. I will add some tonight.

I am going to make individual posts for each event.

4th of July

Audrey's first 4th of July was very busy for such a little one. her day started out early waking up at 6:30 to be taken to grandma cannons to spend the morning with Aunt Katherine and Great Grandma Cannon watching the Provo Freedom Festival Grand Parade while Patrick and I were obligated to volunteer with Grandma Cannon. From my understanding they did not make it to the parade. They could not find a parking spot. But I'm sure she would have loved seeing all the bands and the floats. It was a very good parade.

The evening was spent at the stadium of fire. We got to see the group Brooks and Dunn. They were amazing. If I were into country I'm sure I would listen to them. Too bad I'm not. Audrey enjoyed seeing all the dancers preform on the football field. She could not keep her eyes off the dancers. It's a little hard when over 500 kids are dancing around the field. Not only did we get to see Brooks and Dunn we got to see Corbin Blue (Sp) sing and dance (he is the star of the hit TV movie High School Musical). He was actually very very good and fun to watch. Fred Willard was there as the MC. I think he is funny and enjoyed all his jokes. We also got to hear the popular radio host Glen Beck say a few words. I really enjoyed what he had to say. He was not there spewing off any political agenda. He was just there to enjoy our nations birthday. I have a lot of respect for him for doing that. And then there were the firework. Holy Cow were they amazing. Audrey loved every minute of them and just could not stop staring. we attempted to shield her ears but the noise didn't seem to bother her. it was really cute to watch her. She wanted to watch but she wanted to hold as tight as she could to her daddy. 

All in all the 4th of July was a wonderful experience. Audrey had fun. Actually we all had fun. 

Love, Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

Slideshow

This a slide show of the most recent album

This is Audrey at the Freedom Festival Baby Contest yesterday. In this Photo Audrey is at judges table. Even though the little one didn't really smile at the judges (she is a little nervous in public, but today at church she was a talkative little one) they gave her a rating of 17.5 out of 20 which landed her a 3rd place position. Yes that is right Audrey won third place in her category which was 4 to 6 months. It was a very tough competition. All of the babies were so adorable. It's fun to think that other people think that Audrey is a beautiful baby.

About Italy. I loved it and am not really in the mood to keep writing about it. So if you want to know more about it email me and i'll put a post up. There is a link on the right side.

In other news I was called as the Relief Society 1st Counselor/Education Counselor. Really really odd that they felt inclined to call me. I really don't feel too confident in my skills at this moment. It's a little daunting, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. My visiting teacher was the old 1st counselor so she came over and taught me all about the position. Hopefully i can do this.

Well thanks for reading. We'll be posting again shortly.

Loves,

Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey.
