- Matt's grandma is related to the royal family of Spain. I think we should have a family reunion at their house.
- One of Matt's ancestors when he was a young boy, watched his dad get killed because he was Mormon. After he escaped being killed he got on a boat, sailed to the US, and joined up with the Saints here.
- My great, great, great, etc grandmother is Pocahontas. You can now call me Princess Pocamegus.
- I am related to a lady named Fanny Longbottom. Yes, you heard me right. Maybe that means that I am now related to Neville Longbottom?
- My Grandpa's grandfather lost his leg in a gun fight that he had with Jesse James when Jesse robbed the Springville, Utah bank.

Red, White, and Birthday
For the 4th of July and my birthday we had my parents, brother and his family, and some of my uncles and aunt come to town! We started the weekend off with tubing down the Provo river. If you haven't done that yet go, because it is SO much fun! Matt and I also babysat our nieces and played beauty salon complete with pedicures.
On Saturday we went to the Provo parade. What it is about parades that make you so proud to be an American?
Later that night while we were waiting for the fireworks to start our cousins and us played a game called Double Bubble Trouble. You have to fit as many bubble gum pieces in your mouth in 10 min. Maddie won by far with 50 pieces. In case you're wondering, this is what 50 pieces of chewed bubble gum looks like. Gross Maddie.
After the fireworks we ushered in my birthday. Later that week we did a little celebrating with some family and friends. The traditional Jacobson b-day hat that is mandatory to wear on your birthday. You're jealous you don't have one, aren't you?
