It's a...

It's a girl! We are so excited to have a little girl on the way! It will be so fun to have a boy and a girl! Just thought I would share our exciting news with everyone!

July events...

Okay, I realize that I am way behind in bloggging, so the following will be a few pictures from some of the things we have been up to in July! We've been keeping busy and having fun! Hopefully I will do better at staying caught up!

We went to Fish Lake with my family last weekend. We had a great time! If you have not been, I suggest you go there sometime! It is so beautiful and there is a lot to do. Bridger had a great time too. He got to do a little fishing with Josh and Grandpa, but it didn't really seem to phase him...that's okay, next year I am sure he will love it!

On the 24th of July, for Pioneer Day, we headed over to some friends' house to watch a little firework show. We brought Sparklers, which Bridger loved, but he made you a bit scared for your life at times(no accidents though, so no worries)! Earlier in the day, we started it out with a neighborhood breakfast, then Josh and Bridger hiked Ensign Peak with Josh's family (I had tutoring, so was unable to go). Anyway, it was a fun day!

Today, my friend and her little boy, and Bridger and I went to the Children's Gardens at Thanksgiving Point. We haven't been to the Children's Gardens at all this year, and Bridger had a great time! They have an ark that has water around it, so Bridger was able to play in that. They also have things throughout the garden, such as the bear that Bridger is standing by in this picture. It was a fun little outing, but it was kind of hot...we were very grateful for the shade!

Our exciting news...

Okay, I decided it was time to post this on here...some of my friends already know, but I haven't told a ton of people yet. Anyway, we are expecting! We are way excited about this! I am 16 weeks along now. Our doctor calculated the due date at December 30, but it might be December 26...we'll see as it gets further along, but at any rate, it is right around Christmas! So, yea...that's our exciting news!!!

Getting ready for the tour of Glen Canyon Dam...
Horseshoe Bend...
A little canyon we explored a bit...

Last week we went to Lake Powell with my family...we were gone for a full week! We had a lot of fun! We went with my dad's cousin and his family, so there was a grand total of 21 of us! We camp and then go out in the boats in the morning and stay until it's nearly dark. Besides the usual boating stuff, we did canyon exploring, we hiked to Rainbow Bridge and to Horseshoe Bend, and we went on a tour of the Glen Canyon Dam. Bridger really loved this whole trip! He did great, even though he missed tons of sleep! I think his favorite thing was when he went on a nice slow tube ride with Josh...Josh said he didn't want to stop! He also loved swimming in the water. Bridger was so funny whenever the boat was driving... he would immediately hold on to the brim of his hat and put his thumb on his glasses so that they wouldn't blow off. We always told him we would hold them for him, but he was just too worried and didn't want to lose either item! Anyway, it was a fun trip, but now I am trying to finish unpacking and getting the laundry done, which is always the worst part of a trip...but it's worth it!
