Balloon Festival
I woke up "dark and early" (it was not quite bright and early) at 5:00 this morning. I woke my kids at 5:30. I hate having to wake my kids so early, but it's all in the name of fun, right? We headed in to Provo to see the hot air balloons. We left the "fun hater" at home in bed (imagine that). 
We got to the balloons at 6:30, they were supposed to start at 6:30, but they were pretty much blown up by the time we go there. We met Lew, Flo and their kiddos there. It was done and over with by 7:00 (that was a little too soon for the effort we put in to get there, if you ask me).
My bosses own a restaurant in Provo called Gurus. They started a breakfast menu and today was their first day, so the boys and I had to go try it out. My kids were already tired and grumpy, so they were a real treat to take out to breakfast. (I am reminded of when I took Hayden 4 years ago. He wasn't quite 3 yet, and I was 8 months pregnant. I of course went without my husband. Hayden was a nightmare. I swore that I would never go again-and now I remember why)
I think this picture is funny, I was trying to take it of me and my boys and I cut Ry's head off. Sorry Ry!
Here's Braden, Lew, Zach, Hayden, Kylie, Savvy and Ry
And yes, Dee was still in bed sound asleep when we got home!!!

What a great Mom you are! I am very impressed with your efforts to help your kids have good memories...I am only slightly catching the resentment towards sleeping Dad. :-) I look forward to part two of the Fourth...hopefully the "fun hater" will appear on the scene.
You really are an awesome mom...no way I can drag my butt out of bed that early!! And I think that most men are party poopers, or at least they like to appear that way. Keep working on him, I'm sure he'll break eventually:)
