Baby girl and Misc. Hazleton happenings

We've had a busy 2 weeks. Last weekend we drove down to Las Vegas for Tige's cousin's wedding. Kason stayed with my Aunt Jan while Tige & I went to the wedding. The next morning was the 4th of July, and we headed up to my parents cabin, stopping along the way to buy a huge stash of fireworks. We spent Friday and Saturday night at the cabin--we watched the fireworks at Brian Head and also had a firework party of our own. My parents now have carpet and couches at the cabin, and it is absolutely wonderful. The work is done and we now get to relax and play when we go up. We just love it.

Monday I had a Dr. appointment, and we found out the baby is definitely a girl! At first he would only give us 85% definite, but as he took measurments, he said "you guys are soooo having a girl. This is definitely a girl." She's also turned and isn't breech anymore. We're very excited to know for sure--now I can start gathering pink stuff. Tige doesn't get why I'm not willing to decorate the nursery with Kason's "blue jean teddy bear" stuff. Would someone please explain to him?

Last night my mom came down for her birthday, and we went to see Les Miserables at the Tucahan (which is an outdoor theatre). The play was absolutely wonderful, but when it started at 8:30 p.m. it was 106 degrees and at midnight when we were coming home, it was 97 degrees. Needless to say, it was a miserable 3 hours of sittting in the heat and sweating. Yuck! I'm never going there again during summer months--especially pregnant. I love my house and my air conditioning!

Yipee. A girl! How fun. Bring on the pink! Tige....you CANNOT keep the blue teddy bear stuff in the nursery. It's just not acceptable. I'm sorry, but it's not. Just give Julie your wallet and tell her to go to town! :)
We really want to come hang out with you before that baby comes.
The cabin looks beautiful! Wow.

Silly Tige. Ask him if the kids were reversed if he would allow pink stuff for a little boy's room... that's what I thought.
We're excited that we'll officially have another niece! Thanks for posting pictures of the cabin, now we'll be more excited to go up next time.

Congrats on the baby. Glad to hear that all is well except for the heat. You will love a girl. They are so fun.

YIPEE!! I'm so excited that you are having a girl. I'm sorry Tige but once you see that little girl you will want to go get anything and everything girlie. Your heart will just melt. Boy decorations just won't cut it.

Sounds like you guys had an awesome weekend.

Duh Tige... come on now... That is one of the dumbest things I've heard today! As Dave can attest to I love to shop online for little girly things! Clickety click. Check out Gymboree and Gap. Gap has new crib bedding and they have a really cute pink and brown one. Also at Target they have a new pink and brown set! I'll have to call you to see if you want any of my baby stuff. Lily is getting so big I just can't believe it. She is starting to out grow the little 0-3 stuff. It makes me a little sad.

sounds like fun...i'm with you on the whole heat thing although fruita only gets about 102 in the daytime. When we moved from california and were thinking about where to go my only request was that it wasn't the desert...i'm just now realizing this is STILL the desert!

Little girl stuff is so fun to buy. Funnier than boy things. Now you will have one of each.

Congrats getting a girl! Girls are so fun to dress! You should check out Gymboree. They always have the cutest stuff with matching bows and shoes. Tell Tige the nursery must be painted and redone to welcome that new soft little baby into this world. She will be much more at home in something a little less boyish.

Wooo hooo! I'm so excited for you to get a girl!! The cabin looks great. Will we see you in Monticello? Hope so! Take care.

Can I tell you what a small world this is. I just got off the phone with my friend Kori. She lives in Cedar City. We worked together when Corey and I lived down there. Anyway, she noticed your names on my blog and she was wondering if it was the same people that has parents that live across the street from them. So she hopped on your blog and lo and be hold your parents live across the street from my friend Kori. I couldn't believe that. What a small world. We went to visit them a couple of summer's ago and they have been up here and have stopped in. We were considering on going down there and hanging with them again this summer. Corey just won tickets to the Shakesperean Festival but I don't think we will make it. Gas is just too pricey for us. Hope you are well.

Yeah! When I had Lauren I felt like I had a friend for life! I love my boy, but a mother/daughter relationship is just so special. Just got back from my brother's wedding where Lauren was the flower girl, and Luke was the master of transportation...he hauled Lauren in the wagon up the aisle. It was so cute. More pictures to come. SO sorry you have to be pregnant in the heat, that was my least favorite. Talk to you soon...
