Independence Day 2013

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. We didn't do much...and we were just happy with that.

We started the holiday off by going to the Allred's annual 4th of July Breakfast...which we love. It's great to share the morning with friends! And fill our tummy's with yummy food.

Fireworks in Lakeport...

Hidden Valley did fireworks a couple days later...Ryder was sleeping so Eric stayed home with him, Brooklyn and Easton were at the lake with friends, so Cooper and I went to the damn and watched the fireworks. Just the two of us. He loved them. We were even in our pjs.

Our Story!

Eric and I met at Costco in 2000. We dated for 7 months and then got engaged on April Fools. (That is one interesting story). We were married in the Manti Temple on July 12, 2001. (Yes that made me only 19...Yikes) My wedding day was truely the happiest day of my life. I remember being so happy and feeling so beautiful!

Then my next joy came with the birth of my children, Brooklyn, Easton, Cooper & Ryder. They are the most determined, outgoing, loud, happy, joyous, loving, & stubborn kids I have ever met...but we love them. Now if only we could get them to listen and obey us all the time. That would make my life so much easier. I know now how my mom felt when we didn't listen.

Brooklyn is in 5th grade. She loves to play with her friends. She loves to ride her bike, play soccer and listen/sing to music! Easton is in 3rd grade. He is also doing soccer. He is going to be a great athlete. He loves to play his DS and play games. Cooper is such a boy. He keeps me busy all day long. He loves his daddy more than anyone. He is his daddy's side kick. Ryder is a great baby. He is very busy. Loves to climb onto the table and chairs. He fits right in! He completes our family!

Eric works for a company called Reynolds Systems and loves it. It has been such a blessing. It is a fabulous, Stable Job! And he loves what he does...it brings many challenges and learning experiences. He has learned so much. I am proud of what he has accomplished since college.

I stay at home...mostly. I do misc jobs for Eric's work, including cleaning and computer work. I then clean a business office at night two times a week. Between all this and our church callings...we are one busy family! We try to have fun when possible. We love to go boating and spending time on the lake! The kids have recently learned how to wakeboard...I wish I had been that brave when I was young.

We bought a great home in Nov 08. It was a foreclosure and a great one I might add. We feel so blessed and lucky to be in our home. It has LOTS of space for us. And a big yard that takes up a lot of time...but we enjoy it.

Our life is busy, hectic and sometimes fun! We are proud to be the Redford Family!!!!
