Colorado Fun

Hi again everyone! Sorry, no pictures yet, but hopefully we'll get some soon. Right now we're in Colorado Springs visiting Lawrence's family. We'll be here until Aug. 4th then we'll spend a few days in Utah with my family. It's been nice to get away and be able to relax some. Since we've been here the temperatures have been very nice. The first day we got here it was pretty warm, but the past few days we've been lucky to hit 70. Tomorrow it's supposed to jump back up to 80, but even that is tolerable. Lawrence has been busy helping his dad around the house with projects. They miss having Lawrence here to do all these projects, but Lawrence has enjoyed it. He's been able to spend a lot of quality time with his dad. We've had fun doing some shopping as well. I've finally been able to find some nice maternity clothes. The rain has hindered a few of our other plans, but we're still enjoying oursleves. Tomorrow we're going to go to the Denver Temple. I thought it would be agreat place to spend my birthday. Then on Saturday Lawrence's Aunt Vi is throwing my a baby shower. I'll get on later and hopfully post some pictures of our fun.

Summer Fun

I thought I'd update everyone on what the summer has brought to our lives thus far. I've been waiting for a long time for the summer to get here, so I've been enjoying every minute of it. The weather in Rexburg has been wonderful. It really hasn't gotten too hot yet and we've had tons of rain which helps to keep it cooler. I'd like to post some pictures but our camera battery is dead and we can't find the charger and the camera I ordered for Lawrence's birthday/ Father's Day/ everything present has been on back order, so I'll post some pictures as soon as I have a working camera.

So far we've been to Yellowstone and did some camping. It was a fun 5 day trip. It rained a little, but we didn't mind, except when we got completely drenched at the Norris Geyser Basin in a hail storm. It's interesting to see how that park changes with the seasons. We saw tons of cute baby animals and almost got stampeded by a herd of mother bison trying to protect the calves on the road. We love seeing mother nature and the beautiful mountains that God has created for this earth. We've also had lots of fun just enjoying the outdoors in Rexburg. We love to go to the park and throw the frisbee around and we've had quite a few picnics.

Lawrence has about a month of school left. He's enjoying most of his classes and doing very well. He's excited for his break this fall. It will be nice that he won't be in school when the baby's born. The pregnancy continues to progress pretty normally. I've got a doctor's appt. today so if there's any news I'll let you know. Most people know by now that we're naming our first son after his dad, so it will be Lawrence V. We're trying to think of a nickname that we can call him, cause that will be down right confusing to have two Lawrences. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know. This little one is a pretty active kid. He loves to kick when I'm laying down and you can actually see my stomach jump. Lawrence thinks it's quite funny. We went down to Utah this past weekend and registered at Babies R Us and we did some more shopping. We're in the process of cleaning out our extra bedroom for him so he'll actually have a room of his own.

Well, we hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. We're looking forward to enjoying the long weekend and relaxing some. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.
