I have been trying to decide whether or not to cut my hair for the last couple of weeks but I finally decided to. Here is what it looks like.

Should've been a Cowboy...
We went to the rodeo with all of my family that was in Burley for the weekend. It was a fun rodeo. We really enjoy going. These are some of the bare back riders. Steve and Makoa had fun yelling for the cowboys.
This is the wild cow ride. We really like to watch this at the fair. It is so funny. Guys get on teams of three and have to try to saddle a big steer and ride it trough two barrels. Brett wanted to do it this year but him, my brother stephen, and our brother in law Greg might do it next year if Greg can make it here. It would be so funny to watch them do this.
Brett and I had a lot of fun spending the week in Burley. We got to do lots of things and I got to teach swimming lessons at the pool for the week. I loved it and I miss teaching lessons so much so it was really fun to do for the week. We really liked getting away for the week, but we are now back in Rexburg at home and are going back to work tomorrow. I start teaching P.E. at Burton Elemetary here on Thursday. I am going to teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays up until I have the baby and then again when I am ready to go back.
Bass Fishing
Our friends, Kreg and Tatiana, took us out fishing with them on the river. They had fun fishing. They got tons of bites and Brett got one reeled in. The fish just kept getting of the hook becasue it wasn't big enough, but we all had fun being together. We were out on the river and watched the sunset. The river was so nice and beautiful. I love spending time with Brett. He is so amazing and such a great husband. I can't believe we have been married for almost a year now. It has gone by so fast and we have had such good times being married to each other and getting to spend every day together.
Jack Ingram Concert
Jack Ingram came to the Cassia County fair this year. Brett and I went with our friends Kreg and Tatiana and my sisters Nancy and Andrea came along too. I was pretty fun. We just bought bleacher tickets, but Nancy and I made our way down to the floor right by his feet. It was so fun. Nancy was so funny to be with. No joke, she seriously got the whole crowd dancing and getting into it. Nancy got on some random guys shoulders and reached up and grabbed Jack Ingram's hand. It was so funny. We really had fun screaming and dancing.
The Girls
Boating
Brett's dad brought down the boat with them to Burley and we all went and played at the river after the baby shower. This is Brett and Michelle tubing. Nancy and I had fun swimming and trying to dunk each other.
I love Brett!
Nan and me. These are Nancy's adorable children, Afton, Brinlee, and Makoa. Brett and I had so much fun playing with them for the week.
Baby Shower
My sister Peggy threw me a baby shower on the 9th. It was fun and good to see everyone. I am more and more excited to have the baby now. Thanks everyone for all the great gifts. We really appreciate it. These are just a few pictures from the shower. Brett's Mom made this blanket for the baby and also the blessing dress. I love them.
This is all of my sisters and me. I was so happy that they could all be there. My mom really surprised me with a awesome surprise. My sister Nancy is from Arizona and she wasn't going to be able to make it here, but my mom flew down there and drove her and her kids up for the shower and to be in Burley while we were there for the week so that I could spend so time with her. Thanks again Mom.
My in laws and I.

Update
Brett just finished school for the summer this last week! He did so good on all of his finals, he really studied hard. He is happy to be done with school for a little while. Brett is going to start a new job on Monday with a landscaping company and we are really excited. I am still just staying busy working and getting more and more excited for the baby to come. We have had another doctor's appointment and they say everything is looking good and the baby is growing like she should. Brett and I have been having a fun summer, going on bike rides, swimming, kind of camping, and eating lots of ice cream.

4th of July!
Brett and I were going to go watch the fireworks in Idaho Falls, but there were so many people there when we went at 8:30 that we just decided to keep going down to Blackfoot to watch the fireworks with my sister's family. We had a fun weekend we stayed the night in Blackfoot and my other sister's family and my parents came to Blackfoot on the 5th and we had a bbq and we swimming in this lake. It was way fun. The little lake is just a couple miles from Summer's house, we wish we had a fun lake that close to where we live because we would go everyday. Swimming is one of our favorite things to do together in the summer. Summer, Brian, and there kids Briton Parker and Kaelee.
Brett is so cute. I love this boy so much!

Weekend in Burley!
We went to Burley this last weekend. We got to have a long weekend because I had work off and Brett skipped a couple days of school so we went down on Thursday and had lots of fun. It was so nice to get away from work and school. We went boating, Brett got to wakeboard but I didnt:( We hung out with some friends, hung out with my family, went swimming at the Burley pool, where I miss working at, went to the play my little sister was in, and went fishing. Here are some pictures of Brett and the fish he caught. They were just catching and releasing the fish. We went to Milner Dam with my brother Thayne, Amber and Makiah to fish. It was a hot day and my feet swelled up so much. Trying to get the hook out of it's mouth.
This is the fish that Thayne caught on his first cast.
I am having so much fun too! It is so hot and I just want to jump in the river.

Big Belly
We went to another doctor's appointment yesterday. They said everything is looking perfect. We heard the heart beat again. I guess now I just get to get bigger and bigger and wait for her to come. I have found, even though I am not way big yet, that my stomach gets in the way sometimes. It is fun though. Brett and I are so excited for her to come. She kicks all the time and I have even seen my stomach move a little. Brett always tries to feel it when I say that she is kicking, but when he tries to feel her kicking my stomach she stops kicking. He has felt it a couple times though. I have been putting Avery's room together a little. I finished the shelf Brett made and hung it up. This is her room so far.

Air Show
This past weekend there was an airshow in Rexburg that Brett and I went to. My sister Summer and here family came down from Blackfoot for it also and then we all had a barbeque together. The air show was pretty cool. There were lots of awesome planes and some of them did some pretty cool tricks. My nephews Briton and Parker really enjoyed the planes. It was such a nice day and we both got a little sunburn, especially Brett, that he is now suffering from. Briton and Parker really liked hanging out with their Uncle Brett this weekend.
