Our Busy Summer...

Whew...I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by! It seems like just yesterday we learned that we were expecting, and now we only have three and a half more months to go before we meet our baby girl!  Before the summer is over I decided that I should post some pictures of what we have been up to.

First, we had a fun fourth of July here in Rexburg.  We watched the very exciting Rexburg parade...

 Then we went to our ward party, in which Sam participated in a pie eating contest.

 As you can see he didn't get very into it. He did come away without any pie on his face though!

In July I also celebrated my birthday.  Because we go to school during the summer it always happens that my birthday falls in the middle of finals week, which kind of stinks.  This year Sam was crazy busy with his last semester of school!  He still surprised me though.  I cam home from work and Sam had picked out a new outfit for me!  He also took me out to lunch at my favorite place.  And best of all my cute husband, who does not bake made me a cake.  I'd been talking about ice cream cakes, but told Sam he couldn't buy me one because they are way to expensive, so he made me one.  It was delicious!  My favorite part was the cake design.  I told him that when our baby has her first birthday he's in charge of cake decorating.  That was until I realized the bear was smoking a cigar...maybe I'll stick to decorating our baby's cake.

Sam also graduated this July. Woohoo! First he had a graduation ceremony with his paramedic program, and then graduated with the University. 

I got to pin his paramedic pin on him. 

Here he is with everyone in his paramedic program.  Sam's family came down to celebrate his graduation with us, it was so fun to see them.  I'm so proud of Sam and all his accomplishments.
