Welcome to baby boom July!

More than fireworks will be going boom this month! The baby boom is in full effect! Sabrina, Kristine & Dr Dickens baby girls are all due this month!! It's funny all 3 are having girls. I can't wait to see them all. They are going to be so dang cute!

I'm sure I will be posting about them once we get word the babies have arrived! So exciting. Then we're next since we don't know anyone due in August. Wow time is flying by!

I was going to post earlier in the week so I could include some pics but I'll just have to add them later since the download thingie didn't work out so well. It's been a pretty busy week or so. Derrick and Alexa came down last weekend. It was so nice to see them and just hang out. I wish they lived closer so we could spend more time together. We are very proud of both of them, they have both just graduated with their Masters Degrees! Derrick graduated with his degree to be an occupational therapist and will be starting work next week. Alexa is now a pharmacist and she is finishing up her training and will be getting assigned to a store really soon! It takes a lot of discipline, patience and dedication to accomplish all that. We wish them luck in their new journeys!

While they were here we took them up to Zion (this is where the pics come in lol). Neither of them had ever been there. It was a beautiful summer day. We slathered on the sunscreen so none of us ended up with bad burns (I managed to get a couple stripes though) and we took plenty of water to keep hydrated. Chad insisted we head up there in time for breakfast so we could eat at Oscars. It's kind of tradition for us to eat there whenever we are up that way. They make HUGE breakfast burritos that Chad could live off. So Chad, Derrick and Alexa each had one and I decided to had some granola pancakes. Very yummy. Anyhow then we were off to do a little hike, we did the emerald pools hike which isn't a hard or long hike - but it seems quite a bit harder and longer when your 29 weeks pregnant! But I managed to do it and it was good exercise. Then we took the bus thingie around the rest of the park and walked down to the river. Then we came home, well after stopping in St George for some dinner and ice cream!

Chad had to take them back to the airport on Monday, I'm not going to lie, I almost cried. I don't know when we will be able to see them again since then will be very busy getting settled into their new careers and we will be busy with Jadon. But we'll see them again sometime. Maybe it just seems like we have to say goodbye a lot lately that's getting hard. It's been hard to say bye to Cody, Brandi & Jordyn not knowing when we'll see them next. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone in SLC after the shower too. I miss them all so much. At least that's only a 5 hour drive so that's a bit more manageable. I didn't want to say goodbye so soon to Scott & Journet. But they will be back in a few weeks and Journet might even be able to make the shower which is wonderful! Ok enough about the sad goodbye's (thankfully they are all temporary!)

Monday we also had a Dr appt. It went well I'm on some iron pills now since I'm a bit anemic but the Dr doesn't seem to worried about it since the iron pills should correct the issue before delivery time. Jadon is still measuring about a week ahead so he is growing well. He moves around a lot, but he's shy, he doesn't like to show daddy his acrobatics! Silly kiddo! We go to the Dr every 2 weeks now. The visits are quite short, they just get my vitals and take my weight then the listen to his heart and measure my tummy and ask if everything is going ok.

And probably the most exciting part of this week!!!! My parents finally made it down! They moved into their new place last night. We are really happy to have them here. Defiantly nice to say hello instead of goodbye! They brought Enzo back which was nice, I've missed that little doggie. We got them a couch a little while ago for a surprise since they didn't want to move a lot of their furniture. They were defiantly surprised and happy they had a place to sit! They like their new place which is good since they hadn't seen it before. Chad and I kind of picked it out for them. I'm looking forward to going shopping with them this weekend for stuff for their new place. That's always fun!

Wow that's a long post! We've been busy apparently! Hope all is well in everyone's worlds!
