So I love to visit blogs. Anyone's blog. I often surf around from Amy and Derek's blog to a ton of others, which is why I just added their links to my page today. Less button clicking for me now. Some of these people are friends of course, but some are aquaintances, and some are complete strangers. I think it is so fun to "peek" into other people's lives. It is also a ton of fun when you stumble across a blog of someone you have not heard from or seen in so long. I love that through Erik and Ky's blog I found Fargo and Eleven! Through Cara Mac I found Rhino and Flicka...how fun to read about friends from back in the day at FR. There are a ton of others of course, but how boring for you to read every name. Also- why do none of my Biola buds or Monte Vista pals have blogs? Its time to jump on the bandwagon ladies! What did we do before the Internet? Maybe this is why I am so bad at picking up the phone.
Anyways...Jaron and I had our big ultrasound on Friday and everything looks great with baby burrito (Avery's nickname). We had a moment of weakness when the sonographer asked if we wanted to know the sex. We looked at eachother and shrugged, but then Jaron, my strong in mind, hubby said "NO" we do not want to know. I have to say that if it was just me in there I probably would have given in and found out. Now of course I am glad we are living in the unknown as it will make the arrival day all the more exciting. My due date is Septemeber 22.
I will post some ultrasound pics and a long overdue pic of my growing belly soon...i promise. :)
On a sadder note, we had to say goodbye to our furry neice Liberty Belle. We have been watching her for D&A for a couple months. We'll miss you Ms. Libs!

Last Sunday we left for our first camping trip of the season to Icehouse Resevoir which is a few miles east of Placerville. What a beautiful place to spend a few relaxed days.
This is about the cleanest Avery was during the entire trip. As soon as we got there she was playing in the dirt.
Probably the best thing about going camping is the campfire...and smores.
Avery warmed right up to great grandpa, and had fun exploring camp with him.
Avery really enjoyed the smores...once she saw everyone roasting marshmallows she grabbed her own stick and stuck a marshmallow on it, the stick she chose was about 4" long and 1" wide.
Did I mention Avery was dirty the whole time we were there? Here's a pic of after playing in the dirt and rubbing her eye.
Avery latched right on to Jenni's cousins, and kept asking "where's Kelsey, where's Melissa?"
Avery enjoyed riding in Great Grandpa's boat...she liked going fast, although she had a kung-fu grip on me the whole time.
Roger had a great time camping...he went swimming 3 or 4 times everyday we were there. Here he found a stick to fetch...well, it was more like a log. He became obsessed with it and kept dragging it out of the water and barking at it. Finally I had to hide it in the woods while he was swimming after another stick so he would quit barking at it.
I've been keeping an eye on Craigs List for the last 3 or 4 weeks, I looked at a couple other trailers in our price range that were pretty rough...then this popped up. For being older than both Jenni and I, it is in great shape.
It was owned by an older guy who took great care of it evidently. He passed away a couple years ago, and his wife had no where to store it. It has an updated fridge and stove that look almost new.
