Manly Mower

Chris and I finally got grass in the front yard. Chris is so excited, he has been talking non stop about how he wants to mow the grass. So two weeks after the sod party Chris can finally mow the lawn. He thinks I'm crazy but I had to get a picture of his first time. :)

4th of July

Today is the 4th of July. We decided to go see Despicable Me 2 with my family. It was such a cute movie. After the movie we went to eat diner at Texas Road House. I thought that it would be packed but we got seated right away. The food was good. Then we went to my parents house to hang out. We watched a movie called Parental Guidance. It was pretty funny because it was so true about how some parents are today. By the time the movie was over it was dark outside so we went out on the deck. My mom got sparklers and poppers. So we played with those and watched the big ones across the lake. It was a great 4th of July. Earlier Chris and I were out on the porch talking on the bench. We didn't know but my dad got a picture. It is pretty cute.

36 Weeks

We are 36 weeks along now, I can't believe it. Pregnancy is exciting but difficult at the same time. Right now I want her to be here already but the other part of me is nervous and really enjoying that last little bit I have of being non-parents with Chris. We went in to see the doctor. He measured me and said that I am still measuring small for where I am supposed to be. So we did an ultra sound. We found out that the baby is sitting really low. He is a little concerned that she might be stressed so we did a stress test. That's were they hook me up to some moniturs that keep track of the babies movements and heart rate for 20 minutes. The doctor said that she is very healthy but that we will do a stress test once a week until she comes. He also mentioned that we may need to be induced a week early. We will have to see, we just want her to be healthy.

Steping Up

Today is an exciting today for both sides of our family. First we went to Bobby and Stephanies ward to see Calvin get set apart as a Deacon. It is really cool to hear the great things that his parents had to say about him. He really is a great kid. After wards we went to their house to have a lunch. Were stayed and chatted for quite some time, it was nice to catch up with everyone. It was also nice to talk to the ladies because I am getting closer to our babies due date and they talked to me about things that I didn't know.
As soon as we were done hanging out with Chris's family we headed over to my parents. Today Hayden is getting set apart as an Elder. My dad gave him a beautiful blessing and after that Hayden was officially an Elder. That is so weird to me. Of course we went to my parents after, we had diner, and watched a movie.
Both experiences were cool, and I love that I married a man who honors his preisthood and was able to stand in on both blessings.

Haydens Mission Call

Today Hayden got his letter in the mail. I went over to my parents early that day to hang out with my mom. Chris was going to come out after work because we were expecting Hayden to get his call. As soon as it arrived my mom let everyone know that Hayden had his letter and would be opening it up at 8. I can't believe that my little brother is going to be leaving on his mission soon. Once 8 came around we tried to stall a little because we wanted Samuel to be there but he was running a little late. So we didn't actually open it until around 8:30. I had butterflies, I can't imagine how Hayden must have felt. It was very quit as he read his letter. He finally got to the good part and read Independence, Missouri leaving August 7th. I couldn't believe it. Why hadn't any of us thought of there for Hayden. Everything about it was perfect. Hayden loves church history, he has already read lots of books and spent lots of studying time on it. The date is also perfect. Hayden was worried that he would have to leave before he got to see the arrival of his first niece. It was really cute, every time we talked about when he would leave he would say I just want to see Jaylee before I leave. Yet he was so anxious to get out there and serve, he has been waiting a long time to go. I am so happy for Hayden, he will be a great missionary. I will miss him terribly but I know that that is where he needs to be. Congrates Hayden.

After all the craziness the boys went down to the church to play basketball. When I say the boys I mean all of the boys in my family. Chris, Samuel, Stockton, Hayden, and my dad. It seemed like they had lots of fun because they didn't get back until about 11.
