Things and stuff

So, we've had CRAZINESS going on at our house but it's calming down. We finished our addition (according to the city of Orem...because our kitchen cupboards still aren't done) and that is a blessed thing to have completed. We have the most amazing families that helped us get it done on time! Bless you all!
Anyway, it is beautiful and we are loving it! And I can tell you now, I have a new appreciation for kitchen sinks. I didn't have one for a little over two months! I would either wash them in my bathroom sink or put all dirty dishes in a laundry basket or two and drive them over to my parent's house to wash. It was not my favorite thing ever.

So, other than house stuff we've been keepin' busy doing family stuff, work, photography, playing, swimming, the Fourth of July etc. For the holiday we went up to Kelly and Brandt's house and ate good food, played games and decorated the kids (and their wagons or bikes) to be in a children's parade. It was so cute! Brady and Cameron were very willing and sweet to pull James in the wagon. James loves his cousins and eats up all their attention.



The next two weeks are going to be awesome! This week, we are going to see Harry Potter on Tuesday, rockin' the zoo on Thursday and staying up at Bear Lake Friday and Saturday. Then at the end of the next week we'll be camping up by Flaming Gorge for four days with the Millars. Pretty freakin' awesome!

As far as the baby goes, my ultrasound isn't until I'm 22 weeks...so three weeks from tomorrow. We can't wait to find out! My mom is chomping at the bits to find out so that we can start shopping! Grandparents are the best!
