Parade fun! (image-heavy)

This morning we had our annual 4th of July parade downtown, even though it was the 3rd. Our town's population increases by 30,000 during this time of the year due to the rodeo and all of the festivities, and my family comes up every year to enjoy the parade. It's always such a fun time. I wrote about this last night, but Autumn's family was supposed to join us as well but Jason ended up having to work so plans had to change. Even though we were missing them, it was still a great day! My parents, sister, and her fiance Abe came up and we enjoyed a morning and afternoon filled with delicious barbecue food and treats.

Afterward I napped for most of the afternoon and then Hank and I headed over to Target and got a bunch of adorable things for Henry. I really love how excited Hank gets picking out stuff for him, and I really cannot wait until Baby H arrives and I get to see what a wonderful Dad he'll be. We had so much fun getting him cute stuff, and afterward we headed out to the theater to see Grown Ups with our friend Matt. I went into it with pretty low expectations. It looked like a typical comedy; light hearted and fun, and that's exactly what is was. I actually enjoyed it, minus some bad, bad acting from everyone outside of the main guys but overall it was a sweet little film and exactly what I expected.

I'm off to bed now, but here are some photos from today-

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Ah, relaxing day!

Happy Saturday to everyone. I am spending the night at my parents' but NOT going out with my sister (which always leads to a late, late night and way too much fun!). So I'm up in my old bedroom, about to either continue reading "The Time Traveler's Wife," or beginning to watch Coraline for the first time. It's 8:25pm on a Saturday and I'm already in my pajamas, awesome! Today was a good day- I slept in nice and late and had a wonderful workout when I woke up. Then I went shopping for awhile and came home to my Mom's delicious home cooking. She is such a good vegan cook and always concocts something awesome for us when we stay with them. After dinner we all went on a little family ice cream run (well my Dad and Hank did!). So fun. This weekend is a weekend for family, so its nice to just stay in and disconnect. Tomorrow morning we'll do an early workout and then we'll all go to breakfast and do the usual Sunday shopping- Trader Joe's, Sprouts, and Whole Foods.

I hope all of you have a fantastic night!

YUM! Quinoa stuffed peppers.



Thanks Mom!




And here's me and the little girl!
