Hyde Happinesses

 Hi there and happy independence!! The Hyde’s LOVE the Fourth of July. It’s a little intense but oh so fun! On the third we went to a baseball game and watched the fireworks. On the fourth, Cam and his brothers and dad ran a 10k and we watched a parade in downtown Lexington. Luckily this year it wasn’t Pride themed. Then Cam and his siblings played volleyball for hours, watched Top Gun Maverick and had a bbq. Stetson and I enjoyed watching all the happenings from the sidelines, although I did play a few games of volleyball to please my hubby 😅 why is it that volleyball is Cams most favorite and beloved sport and it’s always been my least favorite and hated?! Anyway… for the fireworks and the parade, we bought Stetson the cutest headphones and it was awesome. He seems really sensitive to noise, loud or otherwise, so we decided to get him some to see if they would work. Luckily he was distracted enough by the fireworks to not care much that they were on his head, although we were slightly less successful at the parade. All things considered though, he did fantastic and enjoyed the festivities. 

As you all know, we are planning on opening a soda shop next year. We plan to buy an old camper and renovate it, and Cam is very excited to have a little fixer upper project. If you have any ideas for names, slogans, logos, menu items, or any other general advice, send it our way! We are excited but we are definitely amateurs at this whole entrepreneurial thing. We’re sticking mainly to soda, we don’t want to complicate it with treats and snacks and things. Since Lexington doesn’t have anything like it, we’re hoping it does well and that people enjoy it, if not just the members that miss their soda shops in Utah. The downside of this is that we have to buy and try lots of soda. Needless to say, I’m sick of it already 😂 I usually make a soda, try it, then let Cam drink the rest because it’s too much for me. It will be a fun adventure for sure!! 

We are coming to Utah in August for Emilee Bennett’s wedding! I am very excited for her, even if she is marrying a man named Spencer. With the last name of Palmer (oh yes, as in Joe Palmer, the infamous ex boyfriend of Ruthie - it’s his uncle). Stetson and I will be in town from the 12-23, and Cam will be with us until the 16th. So if you want to see your favorite brother in law or uncle, you gotta come party before he takes off on the 16th. 

Cam and I both got new callings in the ward. They released us from nursery which was a real bummer but I’m not too sad about leaving the germs behind. Cam is the ward executive secretary, and I’m in the primary presidency. It will be fun and hopefully help us to get better acquainted with the ward. We’ve been in nursery ever since we moved in, so we haven’t gotten to know people very well. 

We sure love you all! Hope you have a great week!














So Stetson has always had a dimple on his right side, but I noticed this cute little guy on his left the other day! Isn’t it the cutest??!
