When I pulled into my parents house Thursday they were having a water party! Slip N' Slide, Water fights, and Popsicles! I love playing with my Niece and Nephews! I love them so much and love to spend as much time with them as I can! We have tons of fun!

I LOVE SUMMER!

On the 24Th Paul had to work and I went up to Provo to meet up with some friends I don't see enough! I grew up with these girls and love that we are all still way close. Some of these girls I went to preschool with. I really believe a lot of where I am today is because I grew up with such good friends that were always good examples to me!

Sometimes it feels like just yesterday that I was playing house,dancing on my front porch with Jess to I saw the sign:),spending every minute outside during the summers, having our first crushes, at 14 or so all of us taking my dad's work truck to chevron when my parents were gone,riding four wheelers, going to youth court for not wearing our helmets, walking home from school, sleeping on the tramp,hating middle school, first day of high school, school dates, and so many other things that I remember. I agreed with what Keena said I think we were all put in the same little town at the very same time for a reason. Even though we all are so different, we taught each other so many life lessons. Even though we all don't live in the little town of Nephi anymore we all know we are just a phone call away! We're all married but Julee she's having too much fun being single:)You go girl!:) Its so crazy to think. I love knowing we all married GREAT guys! I love you all so much! Thanks for helping me get where I am today!

After the lake we came back to my parents house to have a BBQ and to do some fireworks. My dad bought all the fireworks in Wyoming lol it was pretty entertaining that's for sure! I bet the neighbors hope we run out soon. Madix didn't love the fireworks so he decided to go just go to bed:) Av loved them tho! Mandee Jaren and Jayden spent the weekend with Jarens family...We missed you!

Yuba Lake

Another fun day at the Lake!

The Hakka!

My Uncle Marty went to New Zealand on his mission and when he came home he taught us all the Hakka (however you spell that) Its been years since he's been home and we begged him to show us again. We love it when he does it! It brings back fun memories! We love you so much Marty!

...Lunt Family Dinner...
We had a dinner with my mom's side of the family Sunday after church.
It was a lot of fun to hang out and eat yummy food!!

My parents have the perfect backyard for the kids! My dad built the little hut/climbing wall! I have a talented dad! Thanks Mom and Dad for all you do to make it fun for the kids at your house!

Guess What!?!?!?!

IT'S A BOY!!!!

We found out tonight...We are SO excited! Paul took a break from work and we went to the hospital and one of my good friends does ultrasounds and told me she could get us in for a sneak peak! He had his long legs crossed for the first little bit but then uncrossed them and there it was! Its amazing how much he has grown! Paul is on top of the world! Definitely on cloud nine right now:) He's been sending me texts all night like--I can't even wait!! I want him to come out right now!:) and I'm the happiest man alive! haha I think its so cute how excited he is and I'm just as excited and before we know it we'll have our hands full! I think I'm still in shock I can't believe we're having a baby boy! Pictures to come soon!

Paul played with his good friends Logan and Dean Last Saturday. They took 2Nd place they lost to a team they had already won! Dang it. They had fun tho. Paul won a three point competition and a ball handling competition. Good job Paul! I love you.

First of all Paul's cute sister Carolyn sent us this onesie it says on it The world is a better place with me here. :) CUTE! Thanks so much! We love you!

Now about our first appointment! July 2ND was the most amazing day. My Appointment was at 9:00am the best way to start off our day. Hearing our baby's heart beat for the very first time. Being lucky enough to have a ultrasound on the first visit..I was told that doesn't happen to everyone but because Doctor Thompson could tell after hearing the heart beat I was REALLY happy and excited asking Paul and Doctor Thompson if they can hear it of course they could but I was just so excited all I could say was that is amazing, it's beating so fast, and Paul can you hear that! He was so nice and took us down the hall to get a ultra sound!!!! We even got our Baby's First Picture. It looked the size of a peanut but we are very proud of our peanut and love to look at the picture all the time:) When I find a scanner I will put the picture of our little baby up:) This appointment made everything more real.

Here are some things that are happening to me lately....

*My pants are getting tight-I don't love it

*My chest feels like it might explode(I've always had a flat chest but not right now-some days I wake up thinking are these things mine???It would be sweet if I didn't feel chubby every where else!)

*I'm not sick all day anymore just the last couple of days I've been sick at night

*CRAVINGS!!!

*I get teary eyed reading people blogs, reading my brother's emails, when I see someone else cry, watching movies and lots of other things. The best one I now laugh at but at the time I was really embarrassed! Around fathers day I went to wal mart to get a card around this time I was sick all day and I looked like I just went through a war but I needed to get a card for my Dad and Paul so there I am looking at all the cards I swear it takes me seven hours to pick one but not this time, the second card I read I starting crying like really crying and of course there are a million people at wal mart and this little girl probably four years old looks at me and turns to her mom and says mom why is that girl crying...I put the card back and left wal mart I didn't even get a card I came back another day when I could control my emotions!

Ute Stampede Weekend!

Ever since I was a baby I've been going to the Ute Stampede rodeo and I love it! Paul came for the first time. He really liked it! Its three days of fun! Its a very fun tradition!
