Pioneer Day Celebrations

To start off the fun weekend we went to dinner & a movie, then did fireworks with the Durrants. The boys got to play with fire, we had an amazing show, and me and Linds got to talk pregnancy talk and hold the puppies.

Then Saturday morning, bright and early Ryan and Jane Anne ran a fun 10K through Provo up and down the Foothills. They both said that it was a really fun route and they enjoyed it a lot! They also had great race times considering all of the hills through out the race. I love my little running man!

The rest of the holiday consisted of me working, Ryan putting the nursery together, then going for a nice swim at Ry's parents. We had a delicious steak dinner with fresh corn on the cob, then we went to see Inception. What a crazy movie, but we enjoyed it! It was such a wonderful weekend. Very hot, but lots of fun time with friends, family and each other. Happy Pioneer Day!

Twenty-Eight Weeks

Dear third trimester,

I have heard horror stories about you. All I ask if for you to be nice to me and baby in these last few weeks. Second trimester was so good to us. It's hot, but we're surviving. Our anticipation is growing, the nursery is coming along, showers are being planned, and baby girl is growing by the second. We're excited to see you just fly by! Less than 12 weeks and you'll be gone. So far so good, but the faster time can pass by the better. Thanks for understanding :)

FHE

My parents have been up at Aspen Grove the last few days while my dad taught some classes and lectures. Since it was one of the last nights they were going to be up there, we went up to have dinner with them, enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery, and played a little Yahtzee! If you know the Farnsworth family very well, then you know we love games, and we especially love Yahtzee. My dad had 3 Yahtzee's, that is a tremendous accomplishment - if you've ever played that game you would understand. It was a fun night!

My Four Chairs Family

I started working at Four Chairs last October, I worked with two darling girls, Brittany and Debbie. We all had been married for a few years and let's face it, we were all a bit baby hungry. Here we are in July...Brittany at 36 weeks (due in August), me at 27 weeks (due in October), and Debbie (due in November) at 21 weeks. It's been fun to go through our first pregnancies all together. Work talk over the past year has been filled with nursery talk, pregnancy pains, and pregnancy joys. We are also all having little girls! This was at Britt's baby shower, and I can't wait to meet her little girl soon!

Sisterly Love

My little sis' is growing up way too fast and just turned the big 21! So I thought I'd take her out for a sisters date. We went to lunch and then got pampered with pedicures! It's so nice to sit, relax and chat. Happy birthday sister, love you!

on your marks, get set...

I have such an amazing hubby. He works so hard at his job every single day, he loves to joke around and laugh, he is a wonderful grill-master, he is so kind, genuine and sensitive, and he has this great passion for working out and running. We ran our first 1/2 Marathon in August of 2008, and he decided it was time for his second. My sister Jen also ran it with him, and they both did so well! It was the Hobbler Half Marathon, which was down the Hobble Creek Canyon and throughout Springville. He loves participating in races, the adrenaline of competing against others, and the wonderful sense of accomplishment when it's all said and done. We'll see what other races are in the next few months, he's been bitten by the race bug and loves it! Good job honey!

Holiday Festivities

I love love love the 4th of July. So as you can imagine a whole 4th of July weekend was a dream come true! Ry and I started the weekend off by grabbing some Cafe Rio and went to the Real Salt lake Soccer game on Friday night. It was so much fun! The weather was perfect, the team played great and won 5-0, then after the game they put on a great display of fireworks!

That night my sister Melissa and her hubby Ryan drove in from California to spend the weekend with the fam. I'm due Oct. 15th and she's due Nov. 18th, so it's been a lot of fun going through this for the first time together! We're both having little girls and it will be so fun to have them sooo close in age! (Apparently Mel thought we were doing funny faces...that's not her real smile, well we hope not :)

On Saturday my dad was in charge of planning the Farnsworth Family Reunion 2010. So we went out to my Aunt Yvonne's house in Alpineand we just had a blast with all the family. My dad set up some fun relay races, a water balloon game turned in to a water fight, we played some volleyball while others swam, had a delicious lunch, and listened to my grandma and grandpa share a few stories about their lives. It was so much fun and everything worked out perfectly!

The whole Farnsworth Clan (well, those who could make it).

That night we had some yummy pizza and had fun hanging out with the fam. We did some s'mores and the marshmallows were ginormous! Throw a huge golden brown mallow on with a Reese's peanut butter cup and you're set, it was fabulous. Needless to say with a mallow that size they were a little messy :)

Then of course we did some of our own fireworks.

On Monday, we got to celebrate the rest of this holiday by a fun race, more delicious food and fun time with the fam. We got everyone to do the Freedom Run this year. So my mom, Crissi, Addie, me and Mel all jog/walked the 5K and had so much fun doing it all together. Then my dad, Jen, Dave, Ryan Grow and Ryan Jackson all did the 10K. Everyone finished and with very good times as well!

Then of course we had to stay and watch the parade. Since we all ran the race we didn't have anyone to save us a place on the parade route so we just went to the very end and we were good to go! We found a nice place in the shade, but we were surprised at how chilly it was in the shade for it being the 4th of July. Sargie loved watching all of the people and especially the horses.

We came back from the parade to a delicious traditional BBQ. It was all so good and once again the weather couldn't have been any more perfect.

That afternoon we went up to the Jackson's and had a fun pool party and BBQ with Ry's family, Uncle Steve's and Uncle Alan's kids, Grandma Jackson, and the Groesbecks. We had a good time swimming and playing games, as well as chatting with all of the cousins and catching up with everyone. Bob and Sue threw a great party, it was the perfect way to complete a perfect weekend!
