Train Yard

What have we been up to? Well, we always manage to stay busy. Tige took call last weekend in Mesquite, so he had to stay there in a hotel. When I told Kason his dad would be gone, he said "I don't want dad to go to Mosquito!" Too cute.

I spent my morning today making Kason railroad signs for his train yard. He's managed to put all his trains, tracks, and some books, toys, whistles, stuffed animals, cars, and sharks on our coffee table where he's made his "train yard." He said last night, "Mom, I need some signs for my train yard." His wish is my command. They're double-sided signs I made on my computer, and glued to popcicle sticks. Of course, when they wouldn't stand up on their own, I had to think of something creative. So I took toilet paper rolls, cut them up, put paper on the tops and bottoms, and viola! They're standing and he loves them!

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!
