4th of July

We had a very low key 4th of July this year and spent it with just Jim and Dee at Wes and Lani's house. They were out of town but we were lucky enough to be able to go use their pool and grill.
Aaron and I decided to practice more with cakes so here is our festive 4th of July cake :)

Preston had a blast with the water guns

Shooting daddy

Relaxing is where it's at.

We bought just a few fireworks, mostly sparklers and 2 bigger ones.

This picture is taken right before Preston took off running to the house. He liked the lights but I forgot to warn him about the noise and it scared him to death. Like, he was seriously terrified and kept trying to get inside. I felt so bad.

Happy 4th of July!!

First Wedding Cake

I was asked by Dee to help make a wedding cake for one of Hillary's good friends. I thought it would be a fun challenge so I said yes. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!

Park City with the Girls

I am so lucky to have such an incredible group of friends that I grew up with. We are really more like sisters and getting together is so much fun. Our last reunion was in San Diego in 2008 so I was so excited to be able to get together again, this time in Park City.

We stayed at the Marriot Summit Watch Resort (thank you Atkins!) and had the best time hanging out, shopping, eating and swimming.

We had a limited window of time to do the reunion with me being 30 weeks pregnant and Melanie having a 7 week old baby. It was so fun having Charlotte there!

Right outside our hotel was Main Street so we could just go downstairs and outside for food and window shopping.

I thought this was going to be a nice relaxing trip. I forgot that we would be spending all our time talking, and I was pregnant uncomfortable, so I actually slept less than usual and came home so tired. Lauren snapped this picture of me trying to get a little rest.

We spent a good amount of time at the resort pool just relaxing and talking.

Me and Mel

Sheryl with her kids Rockwell and Vienna. So glad we got to see them.

Susie and Mandy

Mel, being fabulous

Tari and Mindy

Little Charlotte was adorable and so tiny in her swimsuit and hat!

We also went to the alpine slides. Mindy and I watched Charlotte while the rest of the girls did the slide down the mountain.

After the slides we were going to this Mexican Restaurant and right outside we saw Steve Young and his wife!! No one wanted to bug him and he was on his phone but we got this picture as proof! It was such a cool celebrity sighting!

We had such a great trip and I love these girls!

Me, Mel, Mandy, Susie, Mindy, Tari, Sheryl and Lauren. Can't wait for the next trip!

Watercolor

I decided that Preston needed to do more arts and crafts and thought water color would be a good start. He absolutely loved it!

Pregnancy

I haven't been as good at taking belly pictures this pregnancy but here is a glimpse at the progression from week 20 to 29. He's growing! 

20 weeks

24 weeks

28 weeks

Lyndsey and I at 20 and 29 weeks respectively

Can't wait til our little boy is here!!

Visiting Alamo

We always love visiting family in Alamo. Here we are in church.

I think it is so cool that Wyatt MacDonald and Preston attend nursery together. Lance and I were doing the same thing 28 years ago at the same place!

After church popcorn with the grandsons. They are all saying "cheese".

Aaron's 28th Birthday

Aaron turned 28 this year and for his present I did something a little different. The visor in his car on the driver's side has been broken and won't stay in place. The few times I have driven the Honda it drives me CRAZY so I knew he must be hating it. So, I got him a brand new visor and had his car detailed :)
On his actual birthday we went out for an incredible dinner at a place we had never been to before, Bandera. The food was ah-mazing. After dinner we had friends over for cake. The cake was from Ettore's and was also ah-mazing.

Preston had to help dad with the candles.

Sad that these were the only pictures we took but it was a great day. Happy Birthday Aaron!!!!
