Happy 4th of July

For the last couple of weeks I have been leading an exercise group in the park 3 days a week. It's been fun. I do workouts like we did at fitmania. As long as people keep coming with me I will probably continue to run those classes until the end of the summer.

On Friday we got a babysitter and Scott and I went out. We got some dinner and then we went to RC Willey and did a little window shopping. We are probably going to get new carpeting throughout our whole house since our carpet is totally gross. That is a really hard decision for me to make though. I'm scared I'm going to pick carpet that I think I will like and then get in installed and hate it. We are getting our measurements on Tuesday and then we will shop around before we make a decision. Hopefully we will have all new carpet soon. I'm excited and nervous about that.

We had a great 4th. Gabby said it was the best 4th of July ever and it was a really great day a few times. I think that's mostly because she has gotten more brave and she actually enjoyed the fireworks instead of being terrified of them. We went to our stake breakfast in the morning. After that we went and flew our drones in the park. Ryan loves Scott's drone so much. We had a lunch bbq at Gabe's house with Lance's family and Alex's family. That was a good time. All of our kids combined is a loud, crazy time. For dinner we hosted a bbq at our house with some friends in our ward. They have 3 kids ages 7 and under as well so that was a crazy, loud time as well. We were going to join some other families for their fireworks show but our next door neighbors starting lighting off a bazillion fireworks so we decided to just stay at our house. That worked out great because I ended up putting Ryan and Piper to bed before it was all said and done so it was nice to be at home. Our neighbors had enough fireworks to last for 2 hours. They had tons of huge, illegal fireworks so it was pretty awesome. They must have spent a fortune. That especially worked out for us because the pack of fireworks that I bought were in fact not fireworks. It was a huge pack full of snappers and poppers. For real! It was terrible. I hate poppers. Our neighbors had tons of sparklers and they shared with our kids so that was great. It was a really fun enjoyable night.

We had a cute sad dog for a day. The dog was lost. I think my neighbors may have taken him in? Not sure. My kids did love having a pet for a day.

The kids built a fort on Friday and we let them sleep in in Friday night. It was big time!
