Only the coolest 4th of July EVER!!!

So this is only a week and a half late... but that's ok. My 4th of July was so awesome! Me and my brothers all went to the annual 4th of July parade here in Provo, and it was crazy fun. It amazes me how many people wake up early or spend the night all over the parade route to watch all the exciting floats, and of course, the giant balloons lol. This great holiday just brings families together. If you've never been to Provo for the 4th of July, it is the place to be.Daniel and Antoinette brought little baby Sophia to the parade. And isn't her outfit cute... Well I'm biased because I'm the one who got it for her ha ha.

After the parade Jeremy, Jeffrey, Daniel, Antoinette, and I all walked down to the Freedom Festival. It was crazy hot, and I swear a thousand people were there but it was still crazy fun. It was still lots of fun to walk around and look at all the boutiques and little shops. There were some pretty interesting things, and of course, lots of cute items as well. After a while of walking around, we all went and relaxed under a tree and listened to the great performers they had.
These pics were right before Stadium of fire started, we were super excited

The other best part of the day was going to the Stadium of Fire with my friends Maria and Fred. It was sooo much fun!! Shedaisy and the Jonas Brothers were the performers. Jonas Brothers aren't my favorite, but they actually did a really good job. Everyone was going crazy when they came onstage.

So Maria and I got a little glowstick happy haha. We all had them all over us oh ya and hanging every place on my chair it was great.

You gotta watch this video. The fireworks are just awesome, and a great song to go along with it!
Well the whole night was a blast. We had great seats and an amazing firework show. I have to say I think this years Stadium of Fire totally beats out last years. In your face Miley Cyrus! Lol She just didn't put on a good show last year. But the Jonas Brothers and Shedaisy did awesome. Oh and also Glenn Beck. All in all it was just a great day. I loved it!! I've decided the 4th of July is my new favorite holiday. :)

See, told ya we got a little glow stick happy lol.

5K race

So every year there is a 5 k run walk and roll race I did it a couple years ago, and I had a lot of fun so I decided to do it again this year. Tiffani, Mallory, Carolyn, and my roommate Melissa all did it with me. It was so much fun, but it was definitely an early morning. These are just a couple of pictures right before the race started.

The race started at 8 in the morning and I went as fast as I could for the whole 3 miles. Everybody kept up with me the whole way, and I was going pretty fast. My chair goes like 13 miles an hour so I was zooming by lots of people. There were times when I definitely wanted to stop and rest because my arm was so tired but I persisted. On to the end!

Ha ha, so as we were running we saw a lot of cops blocking the roads. So we all thought it would be fun to have a cop radar me when I was going as fast as I could to see the exact mph. Ha ha ha. It was really quite entertaining. He even pretended to give me a ticket and put handcuffs on me for going to fast. It was pretty funny. But my brother has those pics.

Woohoo!!! I got first place in the Wheelchair Division. I beat like 6 other ones. Mallory and Tiffani got 2nd and 3rd in their division. I'm so glad that I did this, I had a blast!!! Three of us got a medal, and I'm glad that I could hang with my buds, Mallory and Tiffani. And of course, my roommate Melissa was amazing to do it with me too. It was definitely a memorable morning! :)
