I have always LOVED living in Layton. I even remember going to look at our house with my parents and hearing the jets fly over for the first time. It took my breath away and to be honest, it still does sometimes. I love it. My kids love it too and going to the air show has been something that I have come to really enjoy and look forward to.
This year's show was one of the best I have been to in a long time. Other then the fact that there were a TON of people and it took way too long to get out of the parking lot, it couldn't have been a better day. The weather was perfect, my kids were amazingly good, and we just had a really great time...all for FREE!!!
The Thunderbirds...simply awesome!
Parachuters doing cool tricks.
Kylee plugging her ears when the planes were "too loud."
Rare pic of me and Curtis.
We don't get many of these anymore.
Tons of awesome planes doing awesome things with and awesome blue sky and gorgeous mountains as the backdrop. AWESOME!
Taking a ride in the cargo plane.
Getting ready for take off.
More cool planes.
Lots of walking.
And maybe a little too much fun.
I really had the best time. It makes me so proud to live in America and I know that freedom ISN'T free and that there are many people fighting to keep it that way. May the Lord bless them all.

I smiled and said "it's not my birthday today silly."
I laughed at her and then it hit me...she's totally right. 
It's amazing how prayers are answered and how simple this life really is. It's hard...and I won't lie...I have had moments I have just wanted this life to be over. Moments of such pain and sorrow there just seems like it's just too darn hard. I hate that I have made so many stupid mistakes and robbed myself of great things, but I am SO SO SO thankful for the hope and encouragement I get knowing that the Savior will make up for all that I lack. It's hard for me to ask for help, hard to rely on others, and it KILLS me to know my choices bring others pain, but when it all comes down to it, I have to just swallow my pride and admit I am NOTHING without the Savior and the love and support of my family and dear friends. But with him...I CAN DO ANYTHING! There really is SO much to CELEBRATE each day. 
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! 
Cannon had a great time. I think he laughed and smiled the whole time we were out there.
Kylee loved splashing in the puddles.
Cannon loved watching Kylee splash in the puddles.
He followed his sister around everywhere. 
I love my sweet kids.
Look how cute Kylee's curls are. I love her naturally curly hair. She was soaked by the time we were done and we came inside and had HOT CHOCOLATE in the mid of June, but oh well. Besides, the grass is so green and beautiful and the air is so clear and clean...even though I'm a sun girl all the way, I rather enjoy this summer rain.
