4th of July

Here we are almost through July and I still haven't written about most the month! When I get behind writing on my blog, it's hard for me to get the motivation to make up posts I've missed. But I also don't want to skip over large periods of time, and so I have this dilemma of procrastinating because I'm overwhelmed at making up for missed time and but also wanting to make up posts. So here we are! 

I've decided to sit down and write about our 4th of July Weekend. 

It started with running the Highlands Ranch 4th of July 5k as a family.

It had a lot of character...and places to explore.

We went to the firework show in the evening.


Emi loved the "workies" and also the park with so many exciting slides!

I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
