July 4th Weekend

On the 4th we lit some little fireworks in front of our house then we went to Anthem Hills Park to watch the big ones in the sky. Denton was worried about the noise so he kept his hands over his ears from the time he got out of the car until the time he got back in. We all loved being at the park and even the kids liked watching the fireworks.

On the 5th I took an early flight to Salt Lake to go to my nephew's funeral.

I really have some great memories of Bo. When he started at BYU I was 14 years old. He would come stay at our house on the weekends and I got to spend some time with him. We did projects together like painting my parents living room and I would stand by him while he cooked because I was amazed at how many ingredients he would put in without even measuring. He had such a fun sense of humor and he was always laughing. He marched to his own beat and he had a way of making everyone else around him just want to join in. He was one of the great and he will be truly missed.
