July Siegbits

Our most recent family picture....just ignore the double chins.

Well, July has been a very VERY busy month. Add the fact that our computer has been giving us sass and you end up with not many blogging posts. If there is anyone out there who has been anxiously awaiting an update from the Sieg home, this post is a shout-out to you!

July Siegbits:

• James is in love with his little puppy, who he has now named, Gunner. Yep, Gunner. If you can't guess by the name already, he has high hopes for this pooch to be his hunting buddy this fall.
• My family came into town at the beginning of the month and partied hard with us for about a week. Family time is always wonderful.
• My brother Tony and his family moved to Utah from Georgia, as Tony will be teaching at BYU in the fall. They now have a lovely home nearby so we are excited to see them more than once every two years for our family's Christmas. Mason is in hog heaven to have more cousins around.
• We headed down to Zions with our singles ward for a hiking adventure.
  
• My sister, Kathleen, got her mission call to the Fort Lauderdale Florida Mission and will be speaking Spanish over there starting in September. As you can imagine, I am THRILLED for her to have this chance of a lifetime! She will be a great missionary!
• We headed to California this last week for a Sieg Family visit. Very fun and nice to see everyone. We got to sneak in a little Vance time as well.
• I have been making and selling custom pinatas all month long. Good times... I think I am ready for my maternity leave. :)
• Our garden is out of control and we are pleased as punch about that! Today we picked our first tomatoes and squash! Hot dog!
• I will be 28 weeks along in my pregnancy on Sunday. Mason came at 37 weeks. That means we better get our rears in gear and actually think of a couple name options. The thought of possibly only having 9 more weeks before this baby comes is exciting and TERRIFYING!!!! Fortunately, I'm as healthy as a horse and everything has gone great so far.
• We had pictures taken of the Sieg side of the family while we were in California by the talented Julie Campbell. If you want to see her stuff, check out her website here.
• We have now floated down the Provo river. We Siegs LOVE doing this all Summer long so we were happy to reunite with our Summer love.

All in all, life is good and busy as ever. I hope your Summer is going well on your end! Enjoy the rest of it!
