4th Of July 2007


Happy 4th of July! We hope you all had a wonderful 4th! Our 4th of July was really relaxing and a lot of fun. We watched patriotic movies like Top Gun, went to the Pearl Harbor block party thrown for all military and families, we had some yummy Jello shaped liked a flag, and watched amazing fireworks. Happy 4th of July. I hope we all appreciate and remember our troops and freedom, even when it's not a holiday. We know we do! "Today we celebrate our Independence Day" - Independence Day movie quote.


We start off at the car - say cheese Dan!
And here we arrive at Pearl Harbor base for the 4th Block party and firework show!
The amazing firework show we watched was put on right above these beautiful decorated Navy ships. (Every time I see a Navy ship, I think of my Aunt Judy and Papa Jr) GO NAVY!
A booth at the block party was passing out flag stickers. Ben and I both had them on our cheeks.
In the parking lot ready to walk to the patriotic party!

Ben loved the car show they had going on at the block party. All I could think of was SHAKE N BAKE!



I loved this truck because it reminded me of "Mater" from the Disney movie CARS!








And this is what I want when I become a famous country singer!!!!




Also at the party was an autograph signing booth with the TV shows The Bachelor Lt Andy Baldwin and Tessa his fiance. And also there was Mrs Pearl Harbor 2007. We did not wait in line for autographs but I had Dan snap a few pictures for Megan!!! ;)


This picture is so funny - we had the stroller parked next to another jeep stroller that had a cookie monster balloon. Ben kept pointing and talking to the balloon like a person. :) You just had to be there. It was so cute.


Then Ben experienced his very first petting zoo!!!!

Ben looks sleepy here, but we was wide awake when we got near the animals!

Ben's favorite was the brown lab. (I wanted to take him home!) - Someone was nice enough to take this picture for us.

Ben petting a bunny.

And then back again to the puppy.

After the petting zoo our camera battery died. ;( I will post some pics that we took with our camera phone and video camera phone though!

I have a jeep stroller too!! Actually I have the double stroller, but I love that it has a steering wheel in front. Carter loves to be the navigator and turn the wheel whichever way we are going. It looks like you guys had a great fourth! Live it up in Hawaii, I am soooo jealous!

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

Image
I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
