Our 4th Of July

We had a really fun weekend. To start it off we took the girls to the Oakley Rodeo and they had a ball. They loved the clowns the most and afterward they even got to go down and take a picture with them for Greg's work. They sat Chandler up on the barrel and she was holding on for dear life. I didn't take a picture so I hope I can get a copy. When we were walking out to the car, she said "that was a nice barrel".


On Saturday all the girls were in the parade for dance. Even my baby rode in it! It was kind of weird with just me and Greg sitting and watching the parade with no kids.





Then after the parade we always go to the Crandall's afterward and spend the whole day. The kids love playing with all their cousins and we love hanging out and eating way more than we should. You can see the fireworks from Oakley from their house and we usually do some of our own. The girls loved the sparklers and pop-its even though in this picture Hayden looks scared to death. Then after all the excitement of the weekend was over we had our ultrasound on Monday and found out we were getting another girl. I have to say everyone was a little disappointed it wasn't a boy but now we're all getting excited and can start fighting over a name. Of course everyone has their own favorite so it will be interesting to see who wins. I'll admit I was a little worried. After 3 girls I'm not sure how we would handle a boy. Plus I have a basement full of girl clothes and we would have to start from scratch. Greg did already mention his concern over the hormone level in our house in about 10-15 years. Everything looked good with the baby and the due date stayed the same and because it will be another c-section the doctor even said we can plan on going in on the 11th of November unless something comes up. And believe me nothing better come up.
I almost forgot. We got pictures of our little munchkin. This is her little face and large Averett Cranium. They said she almost weighs 1 pound which is weird. I feel like theres at least a 4 pounder in there already. Oy! I've got a long way to go!

No worries! Facebook/Blogstalking is one of my favorite nap and/or bedtime activities, too. I love that your having another girl! I'm feeling your pain about the hair situation. I still get to snap a headband on one of mine and I still can't manage to get ready in any kind of timely manner. I like your solution, though. If you find any that cook and clean too, let me know.

Well, I thought the fourth was way fun, and the kids never quit laughing. It's one of my favortie holidays, mostly because it's at Erica's!!!! Your pictures are cute, I must have had my finger over the lens, I only got one of Gracie and one of McKade. I need practice.
