Random pictures...

Some random pictures to finish up the summer posts.

Barrett's family owns an old scooter so we went for a summer night ride.

I love golf. I really do. I don't remember how much I miss it until I get to play. This picture is when I played with brother and dad, which I only got to do once.

 These couple are from playing at one of the family reunions. We had back-to-back weekends of family reunions with both sides of Barrett's family.

We sold my car :( It's amazing how attached you get to something, but I love this car. I have countless memories of driving the many, many miles to client's houses while I was working. We sold it to a great family, and the daughter who is going to be a senior at Brighton High School will be driving it. One sacrifice of moving, ha ha.

A couple more from family reunions.

Barrett's mom caught this cute one. These girls loved Lily.

 Lisa Falls up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Go if you haven't been. It's perfect for kids because it only takes a few minutes and then there are great falls they can play in when they get there.

Lagoon with the extended fam. This was Lily's first time going on rides and she did great!

 We found out I was pregnant the day before Lagoon and since we hadn't told anybody I was careful to go on a couple rides but acted sick. Well, I thought this swing ride would be mellow, but then I really did get way sick. We went home after that, ha ha.

 Lily seemed fine with it.

I really wish we had been able to take Lily camping this summer, but it just didn't happen. Dinner at a ward campout was the closest we got.

We were able to make it to the Ogden temple open house with my mom before we left.

These white booties look a lot cuter on little feet.

Lily always asked to go in the backyard to "fwing".

She also loved this tent that was up in Barrett's parents' house most of the time. But of course the camping chair and the sippy cup had to be in there with her.

We also made it back to Park City to use our alpine slide passes, and Lily rode with us. We went on the Alpine Coaster, which was seriously so fun. Go do for a date night sometime, it's worth it.

Phew. I think that is finally the end of our busy summer!

Celebrating my birthday

When Barrett went to an Ariix convention with his dad he impressed some man with how hard he worked and he told Barrett he would get him a free night's stay in one of the new hotels in Park City. Wahoo! We decided to use it as a get away for my birthday. Barrett's parents stayed with Lily so we could enjoy a night alone (which we haven't done since Lily was born). 

This is a random picture that doesn't quite show how nice the hotel was. It was incredibly nice with our own hot tub on the balcony. We wished we could have used it for more than one night. But I guess this is what I was impressed by, ha ha? They even gave us free cotton balls and Q-tips :)

On my birthday we went shopping and then to the zip line at the Olympic park.

We bought tickets to go to the alpine slide, but it starting pouring while we were in line. Instead, we went to this amazing restaurant we now love called, Shabu Shabu House. It's a Japanese hot pot and Pho house. Mmmmm!

But the best part about the whole trip and my birthday was.... finding out that we're HAVING ANOTHER BABY!! Yay yay yay! My due date is March 6, so we will have a Norwegian baby. We couldn't have been more excited that we could tell our families before we left!

 Is it just us or does anyone else feel weird taking these "We're pregnant" selfies? We always look bad and one time we didn't even get the stick in the picture. Oh well.

This is how we told our families. We kept it really simple this time, and just sent Lily out walking to spread the news. Lily will be a great big sister!

Holidays

On July 3rd we were able to go boating with Barrett's family. Lily loved playing with the sand... as long as she didn't have to sit in it, ha ha.

A slow tube ride with Lily. 

Sophie and her friends.

We spent the 4th of July with my family playing at my parents house. Games, kiddie pool, barbecue, and fireworks. We also found out that my sister Melissa is pregnant and due on Milo's birthday!

 Lily didn't like the pool very much, but all the other kids had fun.

The 24th of July was more laid back. We went to the Cottonwood Heights parade to see Sophie walk with the Brighton High School, SBO's. And then we walked around the festivities for a short time.

Hanging out at my parents house before dinner.

This is the cutest video of Lily, maybe ever!

Watching the Cottonwood Heights city fireworks.

The following Saturday we spent the weekend with Brittney and her family again so we could go to Mendon Days. It was so fun! They do races, animal catches, a big relay race, a parade, baseball games, food, fireworks, etc. We were exhausted when the day was over.

Here is Lily lounging as we wait for the parade to start.

 My brother-in-law, Ryan, owns a lawncare business so he and the kids get to be in the parade every year.

 My sister's family participating in the relay, "The Great Race"

I love summer! And I love holidays! Glad we ended up being in Utah to celebrate both holidays.
