Okay, so normally I dont like to post unless I have some pictures to go along with it (I know some of you out there only look at the pictures anyways). But for the purpose that I kind of want to use my blog as a journal for our family, sorry that you get a July monthly update with no accompanying photos.
SO...on the 3rd of July we went to Maple Grove for our annual Mason reunion, then hit up Grandma and Grandpa Masons in Aurora for the carnival and Awesome fireworks. Pretty sure I've scarred Seth for life because of the fireworks. Even now when he see's one of those airplanes that leave a trail behind them he points, looks very concerned, covers his ears and says "boom" and "loud." I guess sitting directly under the fireworks so you feel shrapnel falling on your face is a little too close for a toddler. By the way it was this night, where we believe in the midst of our rushing a tired, scared out of his mind toddler to the car that we think we left our camera somewhere in Aurora Park to be destroyed by the morning sprinklers, lawnmower or kid on a treasure hunt. The actual 4th of July was pretty lame cause we came back home cause Cordelle had work to do. But we hit up the local Enoch parade and saw all 4 entries within about 3 and 1/2 minutes. Seth fell asleep before fireworks this night, and in light of the previous nights melt down I decided to let him sleep through them.
The rest of the month has been CRAZY BUSY. Between finishing the basement bedroom and bathroom for Cassidy (Cordelle's neice) to come live with us and go to SUU, and finally doing our sprinklers and our yard, it has been non-stop work. Once I finally give up that my camera will ever be found and returned to me, I am going to go buy a new one. So I'll take pictures of it all and post it. I am so stoked for our front yard though, it really changes the look of your home. But no one told us putting in our own sprinklers and sod would take so much time. Oh well it will all be worth it.
Other than that its Pioneer Day and Cordelle is at work, so once again Seth and I will journey the parades alone and wait for Daddy to get home to enjoy the other local festivities (the joys of the small town). And once again no pics. Hopefully Seth will believe us one day when we tell him we really did do fun things with us despite not having the proof to show him.
Oh yea, and I'm almost 31 weeks, can you believe it? Only 9 more to go. But Im getting huge so the impatient countdown has unfortunately already begun. Seth is now singing almost all the words to Twinkle, Twinkle little Star and ABC's. He is still the sweetest little boy and loves to give hugs, kisses and to wrestle with his dad. Next month he will be 2! I cant believe it. Well that about sums us up here. Have a wonderful day in bloggerland...and if you really read this whole thing. KUDOS TO YOU.

This exact "lost the camera" thing happened to me not too long ago. My husband was thrilled that there wasn't a flash in his face. It was almost a month in a half before I randomly opened a box and ta-duh! There is was. I thought it had been stolen, but it was just packed in a box.
Sounds like you've been pretty dang busy. Finishing yards and basements is a huge task for anyone, but especially for a pregnant woman with a toddler. I can't believe only 9 weeks to go. Wahoo! Pretty exciting!
Pregos in the summer is terrible!!! Hopefully you have a/c!! I did not last year and I was ready to be done. I tried everything I thought was safe to start labor!! You still have a while, but it will come so fast. Good luck.
Just a heads up kid #2 grows up faster than kid #1.
So enjoy #2!!
Don't worry cameras are not as expensive as they use to be!! You can get a great camera for cheap!! (cheaper)

Aw - that is sad that you lost your camera! Good excuse to buy a new one, I might have to borrow that idea! ;) I can't believe you are so far along with your pregnancy! That is nuts!
Sounds like you guys have been having some fun holidays/vacations. I bet San Diego was way nice! AND - gotta tell ya, love your hair! It is sooo stinkin' cute!
I wish me and Kev could be there to help out with the sprinklers. My dad just redid his, and it was a huge pain! Of course, I just watched from inside while all the guys worked hard, but I feel for you guys!
I can't believe that you are almost to have that baby. Well I guess when you announce it and don't show until month 5, then it does fly through:) I guess we will have to come out again sometime and check out the new yard! YEAH! I bet you are so excited. I am so glad they do our front yard, but NOT excited to have to do the backyard. Maybe next year. Oh poor Seth didn't like the fireworks. I'm sorry. I had a niece that was scared to death too. Sadie was always knocked out long before, but I am sure she would have been. She was scared at the parade here on the 24th. If I set her down she would cry at every truck that passed. She has started to be scared of everything-the vacuum, passing cars, the blender you name it. I hope she grows out of it soon. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help when the new baby comes.
So sorry about your camera, I don't mind that you don't have a picture though. I actually like to see what is going on in you life.
9 weeks to go, I know that can seem like and eternity. I was two days ;ate with Micah and it felt like an extra trimester. I had small count downs to reach my due date. Good luck , your almost there.
You are getting sooo close to having this baby!! Hope you find that camera soon so you will have it when the baby shows up! Miss you guys
