monroe's 24th of july

happy pioneer day, everyone! here's a peek of what we did to celebrate the weekend:

on thursday, we went golfing with trent and jessica. in the afternoon, we convinced my parents to go with us to watch the new harry potter movie (why i was in geek mode the other night). that evening we had dinner with weston's parents and kate looked like this:i love when she wears grandpa colton's glasses!

friday morning we woke up bright and early to catch the parade. weston took a handful of pictures of the "floats" so you could feel like you were actually there. i say "floats" because... well, you'll see:
guy on a 4-wheeler (there were about 6 of these "floats")more 4-wheelers
local business that sells these animal model thingsbullies - okay, i liked this one and they used sparkly stuff so theirs actually counts as a floatand of course no utah parade is complete without rodeo royalty
kate had a great time collecting candy and dancingat one point, kate got an otter pop so we stripped her down to keep her dress clean. she had a great time dancing around in her diaper.

it was a little embarrassing when someone in the parade yelled, "erin! is that your little girl?!" sorry for the vertical orientation of the video, but you get the idea

here is another video of kate getting down with the mini-cheerleaders. watch till the end when she jumps (first time jumping - EVER, by the way... a little slow, this one).
it's hilarious because you can see the wheels working in her head ... "hey, they just jumped, maybe i can do it too"

that afternoon, weston's mom took kate to trent's parents house for some waterslide fun while we went golfing with my parents. they had rented one of these inflatable slides and kate went down twice on the huge slide with uncle chad! that evening, we had weston's parents come over to watch the fireworks and have s'mores with my parents. it was a great way to end the evening and kate was happy as a clam as the center of attention.

on saturday, we all woke up bright and early (7am!) for an early golf game. while i didn't know if my body could work that early in the day, the weather was gorgeous! who knew? :) after some breakfast at burger king, we all went home and had naps. we spent the rest of the afternoon with weston's parents before heading back home to american fork. it was a busy but really fun weekend.

happy 24th!

That video of Kate is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen! She is so cute and has some dancing skills. She definitely puts Reynolds to shame. He literally marches while saying dancing. What a geek!
