Fourth of July Fun!

Our 4th started on the 2nd with some family firework fun!


Brothers + Fireworks = Keep fire extinguisher on hand.


After a relaxing Sunday we had a continuation of celebration starting with the "Provo City Art Festival"



I got to spend some time with My mom, brother Tyler, and sister-in-law Angela. It was over cast so it made the heat a little more bearable. It was a good 92 degrees. I also got a cute dress and bracelet for Hanna.


She didn't seem to care.


Later on we got to go to my cousin Shauna's house and had a cook out with my extended family. Of course, Hanna was so tired she wouldn't let me put her down and I didn't get any pictures :(

Cook outs are hard.  There was a lot of food including chips, dips, desserts, & drinks.  The one thing that was missing........FRUIT!?!?!??!?!  I couldn't believe that there wasn't any fruit!  Granted, my family was in charge of bringing salads so it was our own fault.  This lead to dipping into the dessert a little, but all in all I ate waaaaaaaaaay less than I normally would.  I feel good about that.  We'll see what happens at the weigh in tomorrow!

What did you do for the fourth?


Was there anything you regret eating?
I could have probably eaten one less cookie square, but I have to remember that I have 49 anytime points that I can use throughout the week, and that's what they're there for.

  3. Hi Carrie! I just found your blog and feel like we are long lost weight problem twins! I am also attempting to loose weight 14 months post baby. I started a blog with my friend, Kerry, who helps motivate me to work out and eat right. She blogs much more than I do but, I am trying to fit it in and do find that it's helping me stay on track. And, my husband was born and raised in Grand Junction! Good luck with your journey, I will be following along! :)
