Fourth of July

We went to see my dad and Peggy in Driggs over the 4th of July weekend. It was a long drive but a lot of fun. On the 4th we went to the Teton Valley parade in Victor, ID and it was so much fun to see all of the little kids trying to get candy. It definitely made me very excited to take our little muffin next year and especially the next year when she will really be able to enjoy it. After the parade we went to some of dad and Peggy's friends' house with a beautiful view of the Tetons. It was a lot of fun, but boy do I get tired fast these days and I could barely stay awake for the fireworks! The next day was quite an eventful day as well because J.P. rode a horse for the first time. I can't believe he has grown up in Wyoming his whole life and never ridden a horse! But he learned how to brush and saddle the horses and he did really well. It was a great trip and we didn't want to leave at all...it's so relaxing in Teton Valley.

Other than that, we are pretty busy this month. Yesterday we went to Fort Collins to register for baby stuff. It was so exhausting! The lady told us that a lot of people register for a while and then go have lunch and come back. I thought for sure we would be able to do it one trip...but after about 2 hours of pointing the registry gun at everything from pacifiers to strollers, we were exhausted! So we went and had lunch, got our second wind and went back for another round of decisions. Let me just say that their are way too many choices for parents-to-be, especially for first time parents because we really have no idea what we actually need. But in the end I think we made some pretty good choices and everything is starting to seem a lot more real :)

We are headed to California on Thursday for J.P.'s cousin's wedding and then in a couple of weeks we are going to my cousin's wedding. The rest of this month is pretty busy and so is August...then after that we only have two more months until Muffin gets here!
