Happy Independence Day!!!


This 4th of July was fun. We spent it with the Pecks, Hunters, and Stevensons, minus Phil!
We had a nice little BBQ (thanks for grilling Craig!) and then we braved the heat and went to find some fireworks! We snuck into an apartment complex and watched from afar!
It was good times. The kids loved it. I even got to see my very pregnant friend Melissa hop a fence. What entertainment! In the picture of Lauren and Alex smiling at the camera you can see Melissa straddling the fence behind them =) You're a crazy woman Melissa!

Baby Shower

A few friends and I had my baby shower at the Olive Garden (yum!) last Saturday! It was sooo nice to have a girl's day out and enjoy some good food at the same time! Thanks soo much everyone for coming. I really appreciate the gifts and money, which has already been spent! Here is a picture thanks to Susan. I just wish you were in the picture too! Maybe Heather could photoshop you in =)

We were taking care of our little friend Lauryn Peck tonight and Lauren and she were getting along so well! They were having so much fun I thought I'd capture their big cheesy grins on camera! Here they are in Lauren's new "big girl bed" and also a shot of Lauren with her "big girl bike".

Ultrasound # 6

Here are the pictures of our littlest baby girl! We had our 3D ultrasound today, she was being shy and wouldn't move her hands from in front of her face so we only got some profile shots. Still pretty cool though!

Vacation

Well, our vacation is almost over. It has gone by way too fast! Cory's mom got married on Saturday, it was a beautiful day up in the woods. We are so happy for you Rick and Debbie!
Also, Lauren has enjoyed seeing and spending time with all of her old friends. She has also been helping Papa feed the fish every morning and has been enjoying the outdoors.
Soon we'll be back in lovely, hot Arizona!

Family Pictures!

We FINALLY got nice family photos done! Thanks to the VERY talented Heather Peck! Check them out!
p.s. the family ones are on page 3

Wow...3 years!

Where in the heck did the last 3 years go!
Lauren's birthday is today. It's been so fun taking her to the mall and Toys r us to let her pick out anything she wants.
And to think 3 years ago I was eagerly awaiting her birth, sitting pretty, all drugged up! And now in exactly 3 months from today is my due date and I get to do it all again! I can't wait! Or maybe I can! Excitement and nervousness consume my mind when I think of the future.
Also, if anyone has any fantastic girls names out there..do tell!!! We are HORRIBLE with girls names.
I'll post birthday pictures later!

UPDATE- Lauren's Party went great! (Thanks Taya!!!) She got to share the fun with her friend Trevi who's birthday is 3 days after hers, so we did a joint pool party at her house! As you can see...Lots of kids-Lots of cake-Lots of water! Lots of FUN FUN FUN =)
