Fourth of July at Stadium of Fire


Our Fourth of July was spent at the Stadium of Fire. It's a huge celebration that takes place every year in Provo. Every year we've enjoyed the fireworks from outside of the stadium, but this time we wanted to experience it from the inside. This year they had the Jonas Brothers performing with Glenn Beck as the host. It was truly a spectacular show, though we didn't care for the Jonas Brothers and the high-pitch screaming from all the little girls. Brad and I had to plug our ears the whole time the Jonas Brothers were on stage. Despite that, we thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks display.

Our Cat Companions, Frank and Cain

Brad and I have moved in with Uncle Dick and Aunt Anna in their nice home in Orem. We moved in around May 30th. We initially moved in so that we can watch grandma Jacob while they were away with Court and Matt on their month-long European vacation (yeah, wish I could that. :) one of these days.) We thought that we were finally moving for good to Cali at the end of June, but Brad's start date with Grant Thornton got pushed back to October 19. So, Dick and Anna were kind enough to let us stay with them until September when we would be finally moving.
While they were gone, we had the pleasure of having two cats as companions, Frank and Cain. Frank is Anna's cat and Cain is Jason and Bethany's cat (they live in grandma's basement). It's been fun to have such affectionate and playful cats to be around with. Here are our cat friends:
Frank likes to be around Brad; he esp likes helping Brad with his studying.I thought it was funny how Frank like just lying on Brad.This was especially funny to me. Both guys watching TV. Look how tubby Frank is.
Meet Cain:

He's such a funny cat. He likes to be in tight spots and he'll try to attack you from there; under couches and behind doors.
And like Frank, he likes to be with Brad.One of the cutest things he does is attacking his own tail. He reminds me of a dog. Another thing is when you're gone for a long time, he's super happy and excited to see you. He hugs your legs, rubs his head on your feet. And when you sit down, he climbs on your lap, puts his head under your hand, puts his paws on your shoulders, and then looks you in the eye as if to say, "Why'd you leave me?"
