JULY!

This past month has been so busy for us! We have been out of town almost EVERY weekend! This summer, by far, has been the most busy! We we to Boise for the 4th of July to celebrate the holiday with Greg's extended family and some good friends of ours! It was nice to get away and hang out with them! Totally brought my camera with good intentions but no pics were taken :(

The next weekend, we made a trip down to Utah to look for a car. We found one that we wanted and decided we'd come back on Tuesday with money in hand, ready to take home "our" new car! BOY, were we wrong!!! Without going into detail, I'll just say that we came back with just one car... the one we drove down in!! OH WHAT A MESS!!!

This last weekend, Greg, his brothers(minus 1), and his cousins hikes Red fish Lake and Alice Lake! They had a blast but said the mosquitoes were HORRIBLE!! Here are some pictures from that trip.

I was sad that I wasn't able to make it on this hike :( But I definitely will not be missing any future hikes!!!

Last but not least... my belly growing month by month in the form of pictures!

I don't like the way I look in ANY of these pictures! Most of them depict me as being EXHAUSTED! Which I have been during a majority of this pregnancy! Besides that though, it's been a pretty easy pregnancy. We have 7 more weeks until we meet our sweet little Ava! We are SO EXCITED!!!

We got our 3D ultrasound today!! It was so neat to see our little girl! She was quite shy for the first 20 minutes or so. The tech had us walk around to see if we could get her to move her hands from her face. When we got back, she gave us a peek for about 10 minutes then turned her head and covered her face again! Here are some of the pictures that she let us take...

A peek at that cute little face!

Hope ya know, We had a hard time

I watched this video on a blog last night and just cried. These past couple of weeks have been a real struggle for me and I've felt so down. This video was exactly what I needed to know that He is there and aware of what I need in my life. I am grateful for the Gospel and the knowledge I have of it's truthfulness. It has blessed my life in so many ways and I still continue to receive blessings from it. This clip was the pick me up that I needed.
