After having this post completely written, and then it magically deleting somehow, this is my second attempt at publishing this post!
Brad and I wanted to make the most of our last summer of freedom, before the start of Dental School and becoming parents. Here are photos of some of our adventures!
Thunderbird Park
| Hiking with Amy Keller and Katherine Packard! My workout buddies. (Katherine and I are due 10 days a part!) |
Pool party at Sage Stone!
Some girls and I got together from the ward and had a pool party while our husbands took finals.

TONTO NATURAL BRIDGE STATE PARK
Payson, AZ
Brad and I had heard the Tonto Natural Bridge was a fun place to go, so we made the 2 hour drive and checked it out.

BOY OR GIRL?!
I had my 20 week appointment the day we left for the summer. We got to do an anatomy ultrasound and find out the gender!
| This was taken right before the appointment! |
IT'S A BOY!!
| I love how he's positioned in this. Getting a head start on crawling? |
| The happy parents. Brad looks terrified. |
LAS VEGAS
After our appointment, we hit the road and left for Las Vegas. We spent the weekend with my family and were able to celebrate my nephew, Andrew's, third birthday while we were there.

On the road again!
After Las Vegas, we made our way to Moses Lake. We were so excited to hit 100,000 miles on the car, but not so excited when the car started having problems. Luckily, we still made it okay!
MOSES LAKE!
Brad's backyard. So pretty!

One of our first weekends in Moses Lake, Brad, me, David, Peggy & Bryan drove to Seattle. On the way, we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls.

After our stop in Snoqualmie, we drove to Chambers Bay Golf Course where we had lunch and the guys played a round of golf! This is the site for the 2015 US Open. (They're spoiled)

We spent the weekend there and got to visit with Kristy, Trevor & Brad's Aunt Julie!

This cat loved me. (But I learned later that she actually loves everyone). And she was much, much nicer than our BYU cat, Nala.
Picking raspberries at Tim & Sarah Molitor's house!
They have the sweetest house and back yard! This picture doesn't do their raspberry orchard justice. It is huge!
Golfing!
