Summer time news
Back and after only a couple months! First and foremost, for any who have not seen me in a while (because if you have seen me lately you definitely already know), we are having another baby!!!
We are so excited and just had an ultrasound, to which I was true to my promise of not finding out the gender... and now I am wondering if I am going to regret keeping that end of the bargain! Ahhh, so, let me know your guesses and any suggestions to baby names as well. David committed to help have four boy names and four girl names one month before we go to the hospital so hopefully this child will receive a name before being two months old. Anyway, we are thrilled for December 5th, and I am hoping the debut of this child is about two weeks early ( I guess I better get started on that Christmas shopping now!).
I went to Girl's Camp a few weeks ago which was awesome except the drive home with my good friend, Julie, and her husband, our bishop. I threw up the entire way home. The following week Ava got dehydrated and was throwing up over and over for about 9 hours and three days later, Ethan got some bug and was throwing up all night- hopefully we have had our fair share and get a little break now, but I have done enough laundry to last me for the summer. Maybe that is why I have that huge pile in the laundry room and the other in my room... oh well.
Anyway, we went to Minnesota at the end of June for Paulos's wedding and had a great time- waterskiing, canoeing, touring Minneapolis with Segways, and going to the Children's museum. The wedding festivities were awesome and we love our new sister-in-law, Jessica! The following week I went to Girl's Camp which was great as well- you never quite know how it is going to go, but everything went very well! Besides that, Ethan is going to be in Wizard of Oz at Draper Historic Theatre in August as one of the Lollipop guild munchkins. Ava is officially potty trained (wahoo!!!) and without any ruined underwear! The kids were able to be in the children's parade downtown which was a lot of fun, but the 100+ degree weather surely started Ava's dehydration. We are loving having my sister, Amy, and her kids in town, swimming, and loving the summer... it just goes by far too quickly!

Yeah for updates!! I love your pictures. Also, I think I still owe you lunch for the last time you posted. Hey, maybe it can be a little "happy birthday lunch"! That sounds fun to me! And I hope you have a great birthday! We'll talk soon.

So glad that you finally posted something! I've been wondering how you've been. Looks like you've been having a great summer. Congrats on baby #3. You'll have to keep us updated on how things are going with that. I'm so impressed that you aren't finding out what you are having!! We'll have to get together and do lunch once summer is over and things are back to "normal."
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you...to not be pregnant anymore! :) I can say that because I'm in the throws of it as well. Hope you're feeling better. Come play at the beach sometime.
