Feverin' 4th

This was Jayda's first 4th of July holiday and it is a big deal in the West family. This is the holiday you aren't allowed to miss, no excuses. We go up to Deweyville and spend the whole day playing games and eating and hanging out. My favorite part is volleyball. I could play that the whole time and luckily this year we played a lot. Then we go to my grandma and grandpa West's house in Brigham City for a bbq and a rockin fireworks show.
This year the holiday started out a little hotter than we wanted. Jayda had a fever for 3 days straight that got up to over 103 degrees! Bryce took her into the pediatrician while I was at work and she assured him that she was okay but if it went on longer than 4 days to take her into the instacare. Luckily the fever only lasted 3 days and by Sunday she was doing much better.


We were hoping she would enjoy the pool with the other kids but she ended up being happier playing on the outside of the pool.
Here are all of the Wests. This picture is a tradition. The grand kids also have this tradition but I don't have it on my camera.
This is our family at grandma's house. Bryce has the traditional sunburn after playing outside all day.

On Sunday we took Jayda to Mueller Park to let her swing and play a little bit since she was feeling better. She went down the big slide with grandpa.

She loves her grandma and grandpa so much!
This picture was way too funny not to post!
The three of us were so grateful to be able to spend time with our family and celebrate Independence Day. God Bless America!!

I love seeing your dad and mom with Jayda. I want a grandchild now. Do you think I can marry off Hannah next year? She'll be 12, which was old for a wife by pioneer standards.
