Happy 4th of July

I am so grateful to live in this country where we can have the freedoms we have! It's a good feeling!

This weekend was Cherry Days here in Paonia Colorado. We started off Saturday morning watching the parade down Grand Street. It was very good for a small town parade. Most of the entries threw candy out, which Jordyn loved to gather up!

Jordyn's favorite entries were the clowns and all the horses at the end.

After the parade we went over to the park where they had a carnival & lots of entertainment. Jordyn wanted to have her face painted. She of course chose the Unicorn! Once we got over to the carnival to get Cody & Jordyn's wrist bands for the rides, we found out that the Carnival's insurance doesn't allow people with casts to ride any of their rides. Jordyn was kind of upset, but not too bad. So, instead of rides she got to do the fun games like Ring Toss, Dart Throw etc. I think we left with about 7 different stuffed animal prizes. She enjoyed it though. Later that night we all went back to the park for a Contra Dance. Contra Dances are kind of like the old time Square Dancing. Jordyn had a blast! She listened to the instructions and followed along with what everyone else was doing and danced along with the rest of us! By the end of the night we were pretty worn out.

Sunday afternoon we went back over to the park for a little bit more fun. Jordyn chose a Butterfly mask for her face paint today. She of course played the games, again! It was quite the weekend, but it was fun!

That's just the start of our busy July month! This month is going to filled with many fun things! This Thursday I have a Dr appt, then Friday we finally have our Ultrasound and finally get to find out what we are having. Jordyn is so excited to go to the "xray" of the baby! Jordyn gets her cast off on the 13th! Then that same week my Mom, Dad & Amberlee are coming for a visit. I am very excited to see them again. I've missed them a lot! Then it's the Mesa County Fair where Jordyn will actually be able to ride the rides! That pretty much takes care of July!

I will be 20 weeks pregnant this week! I am so excited to finally be 1/2 way through! Hopefully the rest of the pregnancy will go just as smooth. The little flutters that I started feeling at 16 weeks have definitely turned into very noticeable kicks. It's gotten to where I can feel most of them with my hand. Pretty amazing! Next week I'll try to have some pics of the baby!

I hope everyone had a safe & fun holiday!
