Busy Birthday Weekend!!

We had a fun weekend with family and friends. On Friday my cousin, Hayden came to play with Arcadia. They had fun riding bikes, fighting over toys, and "marching" on apricots at my Mom's house. Friday night we hung out at home and got the yard done because Saturday was going to be so busy. Arcadia loves every opportunity to go outside and play. She doesn't get to go out much during the day because I can't stand the heat. She enjoyed her time outside and took some time to smell the daisies.

On Saturday Richard took back some of our new furniture that needed a small repair. Then it was off to the basement to paint. He loves painting!! (Yeah right.) Then we went to a birthday party. It was our friends, Ben and Aubrey's, little boy's 2nd birthday. It was good to see them and let the kids play. Then it was off to my cousin Dallin's 1st birthday. Arcadia enjoyed playing with all of Dallin's presents, a lot of which she has but you would never know it by the excitement she showed for his. She wasn't so happy that he made a "mess" with his birthday cake. She is still talking about all of the cake on his hands, face and shirt. It was fun to celebrate the birthdays and we appreciate being invited. Thanks everyone!!

32 weeks and counting...

I just got back from the doctor. Things are going well. I have slightly dialated which is better than last time. At this point with Arcadia I was already at 1 centimeter. So we will just keep plugging along. Good news is maybe I won't have to endure 8 more weeks of this awful heat. Maybe we can cut a week or two off!! I go back in two weeks so more updates to come!!

Fourth of July

I know this is a little late, but since I am a little late getting started it makes sense. We had a fun 4th of July this year. We did some new things and stuck with some traditions. Instead of going to the Murray parade this year we went to the parade in Delta. For those of you who don't know Richard's Gammy lives in Delta. We took Arcadia down on Thursday night and spent some time with Gammy and Lug and the rest of the family joined us Friday morning for the parade. I must say it was quite a parade. Arcadia had more candy than she could ever imagine, it's too bad most of it disappeared before she could eat it!Arcadia picking up candy with the help of Aunt Marissa!!

After the Delta festivities we met up with my family for our 2nd Annual 4th of July Bees game. Arcadia enjoyed yelling "GO BEES!", playing with the family, and the homeless man who sat on our blanket. That was interesting, and not the best smelling, to say the least.

Arcadia was trying so hard to blow this up and needless to say it never happened!!

Uncle Glenn was quite a sport to play horse and try to get around all of the people surrounding us!!

Arcadia enjoyed the fireworks and talked about them on the way to the car. After about 5 minutes of being in the car she gave into the days events and went to sleep. It was a great 4th of July!!

Finally!!

I really have been meaning to get this blog all set up for several months now, but we have been in quite a mess around here. Being pregnant, chasing a two year old (literally chasing), and trying to finish a basement have been a bit overwhelming. Luckily the pregnant part and the basement part have ends in sight. As for the chasing a two year old, I don't think that will be changing anytime soon. I have really enjoyed keeping up with friends and family through their blogs so I am looking forward to doing it with ours.
