A busy couple of weeks







The last couple weeks have been filled with visiting family. My brother and his 3 ADORABLE kids came out from Utah to visit. They stayed at my house for a couple days before heading to our parents. Brad, Dawson, and I went to visit them more at my parents house for a few days. We had a great time relaxing, going to the beach, eating at some of my favorite places, and just being with the kids. I wish that they didn't live so far away.

For the 4th of July we went to Weaverville. We went there on the 3rd and walked around town and took Dawson to the museums/tourist things to do. On the 3rd they also had their annual fireworks show. We took Dawson to the park so he could walk around and play at the very small carnival. He loved the fireworks. We stayed the night there at a hotel and woke up early Saturday so to go the town's parade. It was a lot of fun (a bit hot but luckily since I'm pregnant was able to sit in one of the few shaded spots and hold the little babies.) After the parade we came back home and Dawson went to visit with his dad. We watched the fireworks in Redding the night of the 4th up at the hospital....it's a pretty good view from there! Mary and Natalie came with us and then Mike, his girlfriend, and Dawson showed up so we got to enjoy the show with them.

Brad and I bought a fetal doppler online so we can listen to the babies heartbeat whenever we want. It's amazing and sounds just as clear as if we were at the doctors office. Dawson loves to listen to the baby and has been talking to it more and rubbing my stomach. He is so excited. We are very excited to be finding out in 2 weeks what we are having. We want to start just being able to look at more gender specific baby stuff.
