Independence Day

We went to a block party, and the kids made crowns
and got their faces painted.

We played softball at the block party. I might add, I hit
the ball every single time it was pitched to me. Which was
like 10 times. I still got it!! (Little proud of myself).

Chris took the girls to see Despicable Me 2.

Olive was the only one of the kids who stayed up late
enough to watch fireworks. There was no fireworks show
in Ogden, just neighbors lighting up on their own.

Chris and Olive watching the neighbors' fireworks.
Happy 4th!

We went to the zoo today.

Moving day, part 3

We're in our new house! We had a bunch of help from family and friends unloading the truck. Shane stayed for hours after everyone else left, playing with the kids, helping Chris lift and move and assemble, and being delightful. We met two of our new neighbors; one brought us popsicles,  and the other brought us homemade cherry ice cream. We had to hurry and eat them because neither our fridge nor our AC was working! The fridge has since been fixed; an electrician had wired the outlet wrong so he came and fixed it. The AC won't be fixed till tomorrow, and it's record temps outside, so we are roasting. Chris made an icy cold bath, and everyone took turns in it. In other news, we had The Pie and Brigham's Brew for dinner - a very Utah meal for move-in night! Can't wait to get unpacked, feel settled, and get into a routine.

Said goodbye to the Hinds, which hurt so bad, and then hit the road. Took us almost 9 hours because of the truck and trailer. But we made it to Mom and Dad's, and tomorrow morning we'll end in Ogden.

Can't believe all the help and love we got today. Tomorrow we depart Boulder City. Our hearts are so heavy.

Wall of Fame

This morning I made The Wall of Fame at Staci Selinger's gym. That means I did all this:

100 pull-ups
100 squats
100 tire flips (with a 50 lb truck tire)
100 burpees
100 lunges
100 push-ups
100 crunches
10-minute plank
100 tricep dips
100 bicep curls
10-minute V sit
100 side crunches

I'm kinda proud of myself. And I'm kinda pooped!
