Summer update!

It's been a while so this will be a big post, but I wanted to document most of our summer! Here we go!

We went to 3 SLC Bee's games this year! The best one was the 24th of July! I really wasn't expecting much out of their fireworks show but it ended up being one of the best I've seen!



Andy took me to see Taylor Swift in concert! She put on quite the show! It was well worth the money, we really enjoyed it!



We've roasted smore's in the backyard :)


Andy enjoy's working on projects in the garage and Carter enjoy's being his little helper :)



Here is one of Andy's projects! Cutting boards! I think he's pretty darn talented!



Carter turned 7 years old this year! He has wanted a big # balloon for a couple years now and I finally got him one! He loved it!

Carter's big gift was a trampoline! It's been a big hit! I was so worried that Carter would fall off and break his arm but I'm coming to the conclusion that falling off won't be his biggest concern...it's ANDY! Andy sure likes to bounce Carter super high, Carter always asks for more and I watch on the sidelines thinking that Carter looks like a rag doll getting tossed around hoping he doesn't break anything :)


Celebrating Carter's B-day at Texas Roadhouse! Yeee-haww!!





We discovered the snow cone of all snow cones! De-Lish!!! And it's the size of your head!


This year we celebrated the 4th of July at Sugarhouse! Always a great show! We went with my siblings and had a blast!



We've been busy buying things for the baby! I love it!!! Carter couldn't be more excited to be a big brother and I know he'll be such a big helper and so good with his little brother!


 This brave little man finally lost a tooth! Smiling behind the tears in this photo.


Andy trying to get the tooth out!

I've been documenting my (huge...or at least feels that way) bump! Currently 7 months along!


Lots of preggo selfies! :)

We went to the zoo!

Carter wanted to pretend that the Eagle was grabbing him in the picture :)


My entire family was able to get together this summer! It's been years since we have all been together! Julie (right next to me) flew in from Switzerland and Amye (all the way on the right) flew in from WA! I love my sisters and love that I have so many!

This is Julie's little girl Josie, my niece. I never get to see her since she lives in Switzerland. She is a complete doll, I couldn't get enough of her!

While everyone was here we took a trip to bear lake!



We also all drove to Idaho together to see my Grandma!



And the biggest news of the summer was my little sister Jen got married! We had so much fun the day before the wedding... shopping, eating yummy food and enjoying each other's company!


Jen and Eric! They are a perfect match...seriously!




Selfies are a requirement when the sisters are together  :)


I got my crafty on this summer and made the baby's wall hangings for his nursery! I had a lot of fun doing it!



We went to the dollar theater a few times this summer. Where have you been all my life dollar theater? Why have I ever paid full price!The 3 of us get into the movies for a grand total of $6! You can't beat that!



We built a fence! Correction....Andy built a fence. I was good at making sure he kept hydrated with Mt dew and I watched with amazement at how hard he worked!


Andy, being...well...Andy :) 

It feels like a whole new yard! We love it!


We took our last trip of the summer to Reno, to visit Andy's Dad and Step-mom. We love going to their house! Here we are at Lake Tahoe. only a 30 min. drive from their house! I grew up coming to Tahoe every year. Lot's of good memories.



 I love this picture of Carter. This kid has a lot of personality.



 "Hot August Nights" in Reno - where you get to check out a lot of cool cars!


Splash pad!


Carter hitting the Target's at Scheels. He was actually really good at it :)


Road trip home requires a lot of Mt. Dew.


And a lot of movies...

That's most of our summer in a nutshell! It's been good and it's flown buy...which I'm ok with, because I am counting down the days that I get to meet this sweet baby of ours! 11 more weeks to go. We can't wait!
