Happy Fourth of July!


We hope you all had a fun Fourth of July!
Of course, Canada Day on July FIRST was also a VERY special occasion for us (:

These were taken in D.C. But we actually spent today in Fredricktown, where they didn't have so many people and more kid friendly activiities like a petting zoo and free Ice Cream!
Yesterday, one of Trey's Co-workers invited us to their place for a BBQ. They live on a horse and Corn farm that their parents own and Brooklyn had a blast playing with the other kids, playing with the dogs and she even got to ride a former racing horse (Well, sit on one) and pet a colt! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera); Brooklyn saw her first fireworks last night too! She loved it, some were a little overwhelming for her though, so she would dig her head into my lap sometimes.

Of course, Nai Nai got Brooklyn her 4th of July outfit with "I Love the USA" on her shirt!
We actually went to the Newseum that day. It is unbelievable, even with a 25 lb baby that won't let you put her down the entire time on your hip!

There was a BBQ competition right near us, so we got some ribs! Mmmm!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
