Summer Catch Up

We think the summer sun has forgotten about us Oregon people this year...but we've still managed to catch some fun! (plus, i'm 30 weeks pregnant so to be honest, I'm not complaining about the cool weather!)

Bauer sporting his big boys bed. He loves it and I love not having to bend over the crib anymore. a win-win.

Bauer's favorite night time activity with daddy = wrestling in any form!

Our delightful Forth of July day at Black Butte- playing at the pool, mom and dad reading on the deck while bauer took a nap, picnic lunch and perfect weather.


My mom's side of the family had a fun family reunion in Bear Lake-- Bauer and my brother's youngest, Zaya, loved hanging out and sharing cheetos on our bike ride through the town.

the whole Silliman gang (minus Andrew who stayed home to work...;( )

Mom, Mandy and I on our way out of Bear Lake-- such a gorgeous view.

We stopped at the Logan temple on our way out of town for this VERY flattering picture. This temple is special since this is where Mom and Dad, Mandy and Gregg were sealed after they joined the church.

Than my amazing parents took Bauer back to Portland with them so I could go to Girls Camp with my Young Women. I didn't take any pictures at Girls Camp but it was a blast. Bauer meanwhile was having the time of his life with Grammy and Papa-- I was so grateful that I didn't have to worry about him at all while I was up and had no cell service. Bauer couldn't care less about me when Grammy and Papa are around-- and I love that he has a special connection with them. This picture cracked me up-- those visors are actually poking him in the eyes instead of blocking the sun. He is such a blast.

My pregnancy is going really well-- I'm getting so excited for the spirit a newborn brings into a home, there's nothing like it. I think Bauer will do awesome with it, even though it will be a big change for all of us. Don't ask us his name, because we have absolutely no clue yet. Luckily we still have 10 weeks we come up with some ideas we agree on.
I'm always nervous about my pregnancies but I'm really confident in my doctor and comforted by the Spirit-- I pray that this little boy will continue to be able to grow properly and come to us healthy and happy.

in other news: We'll be moving next Friday and I can't wait!! I'll be so excited to be in our new place, and be excited when all the boxes are packed and unpacked...
