The Fourth of July and one big week!

I feel like I have a ton to share! This is why I hesitated starting a blog in the first place because (like my adventures in scrapbooking) the posts are either going to be really boring or so chopped full of stuff that its hard to concentrate on making it any good. My goal for this post is to get out all of the exciting things we've done this week and not bore you by making it super long.

1. Babies-r-us called and our stroller [ehh, ehh, ehum] excuse me "Travel System" came in! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Tingey baby Garrett has a car seat and stroller waiting on him. Here are some pics of us (ok really Geoff) assembling the Chicco Cortina Travel System.

2. Geoff worked during the daya on the 4th but I went with Buck and Niki (my brother and sister-in-law) to watch Provo's Parade and walk through the vendors at Provo's Freedom Festival. Now, if you've never spent a fourth of july in provo then you don tknwo how special it is to have curb-side seats to watch some of Utah's most well-known faces flaunt down University Avenue. (I'm being sarcastic of course but people stake out their spot on lawns of businesses, apartment complexes, and homes at least 24 hours in advance.) Here's a picture of my favorite float. The ant on the straw in the milshake squirted out water! So cute!


Like I said ( oh dear I dont know why this is all underlined- i need some serious blogging help from anyone willing to give it to me ! hahahaha) So like i said, after the parade Buck and Niki were kind enough to walk all over Provo with my big ol' pregnant and very slow self. I have the best siblings in the world. Thanks to them I enjoyed a delicious funnel cake on Center Street to make my day everything I wanted. Geoff came home from work and we (with friends the Switzers and Buck and Niki) were invited to a pool party and bbq at cousin Kirsten and Mike's place. Sorry no pics! :( We capped off our celebration by watching Stadium of Fire fireworks from afar.

3. (yay I got the underline to go away!) Thanks to a nice old lady at JcPenney catalog department we found our favorite crib and were exempt from shipping charges! Horray for nice JcPenney grandma and saving $50. We went ahead and sealed the deal because we were afraid another sales associate would have made us pay shipping if we had waited even though we knew Ahbi (Grandma Bagwell) really wanted to be here to get the crib with us. Thanks Ahbi and Papi for Garrett's crib- it was even easy to put together! Geoff was certain this crib assembling process would end in divorce but really i think we're pretty good at assembling stuff. After only an hour or so we had a beautiful crib all set up. The last pictures show the bedding tha Ahbi made for Garrett.
