we had a lovely pioneer day this year. very laid back, but wonderful none-the-less. our holiday kicked off with the bountiful pioneer day parade (yesterday). our amazing friend/personal trainer, heather, lives on the parade route, so every year she has a big party. this year she invited us to come, which was so nice because it saved us the headache of having to find a place to sit! her family was so nice and gave us popcorn and ice cream and all kinds of treats. we are so lucky to have her as our friend. :) finn and sam loved the parade, even though it was like 105 degrees out - it was so hot! yikes. but they were definitely entertained by all the different bands and floats. it is a tradition i hope to keep alive in the years to come. :)
lance took the day off work today, which is always a treat, so we started off the day with breakfast at the original pancake house with my mom. the rest of the day was spent doing errands and taking it easy. later in the evening we met up with lindsey & robby and brant & laurel. we stopped by the neighborhood block party, where lance and i fought it out in the boxing ring. don't worry, i won. ;) we ended the night with fireworks and dessert at lindsey and robby's. lindsey was so sweet and bought a birthday cake and my favorite kind of ice cream - she lit candles and everyone sang happy birthday to me. i feel so lucky to have these new friends in my life. :)
happy pioneer day! i'm so grateful for all those who sacrificed what they did to make it to this great state. this is the place!!!
