July Happenings

This month definitely was a lot busier than June!  Although I was still exhausted, we did start doing a few more things and have a bit more outings for the month of July.  The weather was still horribly hot, so we tried to stay inside as much as possible!

The first weekend of July, we helped celebrate our friends, Whitney and Joe, get married in Zion!

We spent time with our friends throughout the month, enjoying dinners out and spending time at our houses just relaxing and having some drinks (extra water, for me!)  We spent one night playing dress up with the kiddos at the Luks' home, which made for some entertaining photos:

We had our gender ultrasound to find out that we are expecting a sweet baby boy!

I made fun gender reveals both for our friends and family to see, as well as one specially for my coworkers.

Jason finally took his REHS exam for work, which he has been studying like a mad man for the last few months.  He spent four hours taking the exam which was extremely challenging, but ended up passing with an 81%!  This is a great relief for him, as it helps with job security, and also allows for a step increase in position and pay once he hits his two year mark with the health district.  Woohoo!

We did lots of shopping with the excitement that a little boy is on the way for us!  Although we didn't go crazy with buying lots of blue (crossing my fingers that he's still a boy at our next ultrasound!), we did get a few cute things as well as some gifts from my mom, the Luks', some coworkers, as well as some hand-me-downs from a family friend!  This little guy is already so spoiled!  

We celebrated Jason's birthday by going out to dinner at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak, and Stone Crab located in Caesar's Forum Shops.  Jason has been wanting to try this restaurant out for a while, so we finally splurged to celebrate him turning 27 and passing his exam for work!  The food was ahhhmazing!  I've always said my favorite meal in my whole life has been our dinner at our wedding (filet mignon), and the filet we had at Joe's was a very close second!  We pigged out on filet and crab, a seafood sampler of cod, calamari, scallops, and some yummy sides of mac and cheese and some mashed potatoes.  I would highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for some great steaks and seafood!

Happy Birthday, Jason!

Again, not too many pictures this month, but hopefully we'll keep up being more active and have even more to share in August!  ...Until then!
