What we did on the 4th

We had a fun 4th of July even though we didn't get to watch the fireworks from the grass in front of the University Inn while eating tootsie pops. We got up early and went and watched the hot air balloon launch over by the hospital. We then had our custard donuts from Smiths and watched the entire parade on University Ave. We didn't feel like splurging for tickets to the
Stadium of Fire so we went with Buddy and Michelle and sat on the grass by the Marriott Center for the firework show. The show lasted about 25 minutes and had some of the biggest/loudest fireworks I've ever seen. Somewhere in the middle of all that we played bacci ball in the park.
On another note, I took the day off work Monday and went with Grandpa Jacobs up by Strawberry Reservoir. We spent the day riding horses and clearing trails. By the time everyone got saddled up there were 14 horses and a whole lot of leather and wranglers. I was the only one not wearing a cowboy hat. The only thing I really missed was that I didn't get to carry a six-shooter like some of the others. All in all a fun time and only one guy got bucked off and kicked in the head by his horse.

Weston's Brother

Well, I opted not to post the picture that proves we are having another boy, so here's his profile. Seth and I had our ultrasound today and we are having another boy! I am actually excited. I've been hoping for a girl, but this morning I realized how much fun (and cheaper) it would be for Weston to have a little brother.
We drove to Moscow on Tuesday night. Yesterday, we went to our ward 4th of July breakfast, hung out a little bit with the fam and then went to the cabin in the afternoon. Harrison had its usual display of fireworks but the bay was better. The winner this year was a spinner thing Vi's family nailed to their post that shot off a nice display. Seth talked to them about it after the fireworks were done and it turns out they were only $3-$4.00. So we know what we're getting next year. The day's events also included a trip to Harrison for ice cream. Shawn decided to park the boat in a red zone and had a little visit with the Kootenai County Marine Patrol. Annie dropped Matt's name and they just gave him a warning. Matt they said to give you a hard time about your donuts and chocolate milk at the meetings...
We drove back to Moscow after the fireworks and had our doctor's appointments today. Now we are hanging out inside, it's almost 100 degrees outside. Tomorrow we will move our stuff from storage into our apartment and we'll head back to Seattle on Saturday.
It's good to be home.
