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?

A) You totally put that first picture on to show off your hair. If I had no roots like that, I'd post that pic too!

B) CUTE kids in the pics!!

C) I wish I could have seen ma and pa J. Sad I missed them...

D) I think I need to be photoshopped into the last pic since I was there. It's inaccurate.

How fun! What a cute family and a fun week. We have been dying to float the Provo River, so hearing how fun it was made me want to even more!

And PS, you look totally perfect in ALL of the pictures. But I'm not surprised, you look totally perfect all the time in real life, too!

You Scotts are always good for a fun time. Except that gum picture. It looks like an organ you pulled out of your body.

Did your family ask where we were for the parade this year? It looked like they were really missing us.
