Fourth of July

The Fourth of July has already came and went! It's just crazy to me that June has already flown by! But looking back to the day school got out, that feels like forever ago! We've been enjoying our summer by spending time with Ivy, going hiking, finishing projects, and training for our triathlon! :) 

For the fourth of July, we first started with the FireKracker 5k, per usual. We always try to get as many people as we can do it with us! It's always fun, even though waking up that early isn't that much fun! ;) This was our 5th year doing it! Well, it's Wade's 5th year, my 4th (I didn't run while pregnant with Ivy). Always a good time. I thought I'd put some pictures up to show over the years!

Second year

After the run, we got our spot for the parade. Dawn's family was in town, so they came and so was Ryan and Jordan (and the babes) and my dad and Lori. Nicole and Nate were also there and hung out with us too! They are family too! :) We sat in the heat and enjoyed the parade. After the parade, we ran to the store real quick and got some cafe rio to take with us to the Blacktail. We went Jet skiing there and had fun playing around in the water. 

After we had enough of that, we went back to our house and had a big BBQ with everyone. It was really fun to have everyone at our house! After the BBQ we got ready and found a spot at the fireworks. It was super crazy busy, but the fireworks never disappoint! Ivy fell asleep after the first one. She kind of panicked at the first couple, but once we told her they were "princess sparkles" she calmed down again. The Fourth is such a fun holiday in Idaho Falls! Ivy had so much fun being around her cousins all weekend! She doesn't get to see her Utah cousins very much and it's always fun! :)
