i just got home from the gym. it was my first time going in what seems like years but i guess it's just been about 6 weeks and let's just say i have become a weakling!! i was only able to do 25 min of cardio and about 15 minutes of weights but you know what? i am so proud of myself for going. fitness has always been a part of my life and i feel like i need to do all i can to stay in shape this pregnancy so that i can have a healthy body so that my baby can be healthy!
anyway i sit here on the couch listening to brand new very quietly since Elias is napping. He went with the scouts on a night hike last night! they left at 9:30 last night and got home at 10:00 this morning! so this nap is very very needed.
so i basically need to catch up on the whole month of july! the 4th was so much fun we love staying local because k-town does a pretty awesome independence. in the morning Elias went on a nice long ride then we went to his grandma's for the annual independence day breakfast (although nothing there really seemed that appetizing) i ended up only eating a few mini muffins and some fruit! after breakfast we went to the parade and sweated our brains out. unfortunately the parade was a little disappointing this year but it's tradition right? the rest of the day consisted of hanging out, eating and fireworks of course!
Also we spent a whole day reconstructing out front planter and planted these bushes! I'm so excited for them to grow and one day be nice shrubs :)
when the night time rolled around we were originally planning on doing the layton city fireworks because they are the bomb, but after driving over there and realizing we would have a really hard time of finding a spot we decided to head to kaysville but it was the same story there so we decided to go home shower put our jammies on and the just go to a park by our house and watch them from there. and let me just say it was the best decision ever! i loved just spending time with elias :) out of the chaos!
Look at his calf!
my new obsession is ruby red squirt oh my gosh it is so good! i was definitely craving it for a few weeks ha ha the gas station right next to my work sells single cans of it for like 70 cents.
my new job has been good! although i feel like all i do is work. also it is really hard because my manager has asked me not to tell anyone that i am expecting so it is so weird not talking about it, and it almost makes me forget i am pregnant when i am work. which has made the last couple weeks go by SO fast pregnancy wise!
pioneer day i had to be in a parade for work and i met the ksl news crew! they were the float right in front of us. and let me just say if you want a good parade go to the bountiful pioneer days parade. it is a BIG DEAL and i had no idea it even existed! people do amazing floats and sooooo many people attend. then on the actual 24th we went to the ogden rodeo which was incredible as usual :) it is always so patriotic and really reminds you how amazing the USA is (even if Obama has made you forget that). in the opening ceremony they played a speech by Ronald Reagan and showed footage of some big events in American history and i'm not going to lie it brought a tear to my eye! then they had the american flag parachuted in it was awesome! and of course the rodeo is always great. the ogden rodeo is a top 5 rodeo in the nation so you get the best cowboys in the world there!
last but not least i went to the bridal shower for one of my favorite people in the world, my cousin brooke! and after the shower we were able to attend the temple with her for her first time! she is the cutest and i am so so excited for her and her fiance. they truly are made for each other and it was so awesome being in the temple with them!
(We made her play the bubble gum game!)
pregnancy is going well, i am going to do a completely seperate post on how i am feeling and all of the nursery stuff that i am dying over!!!!!! yay :)

next big event.. FARMINGTON STATION CRITERIUM RACE! since i got pregnant we decided it wouldn't be the smartest thing to go on pioneer trek so we were able to be home for one of the most exciting races of the year! elias got to be in the crit race at farmington station park. it was the coolest race that he has been in so far. when i got to the location they already had this huge amazing real podium and i instantly got nervous for him! i was thinking "holy cow this is a big deal" ha ha. he was in the category 4/5 and right off the bat we could tell this was going to be a dangerous course lap after lap people were crashing out of the race! on elias' first lap he almost crashed right in front of us on a corner (i think i had a heart attack) but we saw tons of bruised and bloody cyclists, not to mention their kits were totally ruined! but after all the sketchi-ness elias came out with the win! i absolutely love hearing his name over the speakers and watching him blow through the finish line a winner :)
