The 4th, The OC Fair, It's a boy, and so much more...







So I was looking back at my past blogs and I realized that I never shared baby #2 is another boy. After the initial shock of hearing "it's another boy!" I am quite excited. Reasons to be excited, 1. Brady will have a brother close in age and as they grow up they will be best buds. 2. I am the only girl and therefore I deserve to spoil my self with girly things such as pedicures. 3. Brady is a big boy so I wont be as afraid of him hurting the baby. There are lots more reasons, but most of all he is healthy and we can't wait to meet him.

We also had a fantastic fourth. Wes has been working lots of hours so we were excited to have a three day weekend together. We had his family down for some good old fourth of July fun. Wes BBQ'd some delicious hamburgers. We had all the festive fixings. Potatoe salad, watermelon, and corn. After the BBQ we walked over to the park to enjoy our city fire works. It was lots of fun. We layed out blankets and enjoyed some smash ball, frisbee, and delicious homemade ice cream (made by Wes' Mom) while we waited. This was Brady's first year to really understand what fire works were. He kept calling them fire trucks, telling us they go "boom boom in the sky." He made sure to stay nice and close during the fire works. At the end of the day we were pooped.

We also got to spend a fun evening at the fair. I have fond memories of the fair when I was younger. So I convinced Wes, Aunt Amanda, and Uncle Chris to join Brady and I. I guess when I was young and Dad was footing the bill no wonder I loved the fair. I can't believe how expensive everything is. We paid nine dollars to go in and eat really good but expensive greasy food. Brady loved the petting zoo and the animal exhibits. Amanda and I liked the home show. There's nothing better than seeing all those TV infomercials up close and personal. We enjoyed yummy BBq corn for $4 an ear and some really good pulled pork sandwiches. We passed on the rides because we have season passes to disney land and were not about to fork out $10 for a bee ride. On our way out we all enjoyed 25 cent foot massage from those vibrating chairs. All in all we had a fun night out and always love hanging out with Chris and Amanda.
