Andrew+Bethany= :) the Life of the A&B Brown Family: Whoa Baby! It's July!

July July! We had a busy few weeks, but so much fun! The month started off with the Brown Family Reunion. The week was packed with BBQs, parties, and lots of cousin time.

Loving Grandma's garden

Playing with cousin Henry

The fun started off with an overnight at Jake and Beth's cabin in Fairview! This is always a highlight. We played games, some went fishing, rode ATVs and Grandpa's razor to see beautiful views, relaxed and of course, ate food. Bennett loved throwing rocks in the lake and loved playing with his favorite sidekick, Lila. So fun!

After cabin fun, we had our annual fishpond and BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's. So fun for B! His first time, so we had a good time watching his face light up.

Fish pond fun!

Family Shot!

4th of July Time!!!! We spent the first part of the day closer to home and kicked things off with a blueberry pancake breakfast. Sometimes, I feel like no matter how much I feed this kid, he will always be our lean bean!

Pancake belly....or lack thereof?

We joined up with Mammy and Poppa and Uncle Stevo at Silver Lake and had a fun walk. Bennett always loves an excuse to throw some rocks and do superman rides with Poppa!

Recapturing this shot with this Babe! oh, and Baby:)

Superman!

After our walk around the lake, we smelled something cookin'! They were making burgers in the parking lot at Brighton, so we all enjoyed a yummy lunch. You need a burger on the 4th, at least once right?

ice cream pop after lunch!

Later in the afternoon, we headed to Lindon for the Sainsbury BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's. I'll be honest, I grabbed a plate of food, parked it on a lazyboy in the family room, and soaked in my fair share of AC. 8 1/2 months pregnant and 100 degrees do not mix well! I think Andy and Bennett had fun?
After dinner, we headed back to Holladay for fireworks. Bennett was smitten! So fun to enjoy those with him!

Firework time!

Mammy and Poppa time

After 4th of July fun, we buckled down and spent the next two weeks nesting, eating lots of popsicles and Sweetaly gelato, and soaking in our last two weeks as a trio. kind of crazy that our world is about to change....a lot!

eating his "Pockle"

We were able to receive a fun visit from Amy Engebretsen Larsen and her kiddos, as well as our Mammas! The kids played with water outside while we had soup and grilled cheese:)

Amy, Jones and Mazie!

And did I mention gelato? I think we must have gotten gelato at least 3-4 times a week the month of July!

Gelato smiles!

Gelato makes us this happy every time!

Oh, and more popsicles:)

Now, it was time for Baby! Bennett and I had a great last day of just us two. We went swimming at Aunt Boo's, had a yummy dinner, and of course, got Gelato with Daddy. Bennett was excited to go to Mammy and Poppa's for a few days. How crazy that we are all of the sudden going to have a baby tomorrow?!?!?!
