Help please?
We are in desperate need of a computer. Our laptop went KAPUT! CRASH! BAM! BOOM!.... You get the picture. If you know of anyone getting rid of a decent computer, either for free or super cheap, let us know. We just need something that will get us by until we can purchase something new.

Coasties
We had a wonderful time in Oregon. Our time was spent with lots of good friends and family, eating good food, drinking tasty coffee, throwing rocks and sand, seeing the sights, etc.
The conference was amazing, very inspirational and informative. We have found something awesome here and the more I know about it, the more I want to share it. I won't bug you though, if you are curious then ask me about it! Especially if you have kids or men, I learned really cool stuff about laundry... HA!
Being on the coast made Bing's desire to be there more intense. All I hear about these days are his thoughts on moving back, when it might be possible, how we could make it work and on and on. It is beautiful out there, for sure. My skin loved it and my hair never saw a blow dryer cause it is basically pointless. If only my side of the family was interested in relocating!

Dear Placenta,
Thank you for moving out of the way; I did not, and do not, want to have a C-section.
I had my doctor's appointment on Thursday and my 2nd ultrasound on Friday and the combined results are inconclusive. My belly measured right at 30 weeks, which is "technically" correct. According to the ultrasound, baby measures in at 32 weeks. So, I feel safe saying this baby could come any time from the last week in August to the 16th of September. Also, my placenta moved up and outta the way so no worries there. Little Guy might be THE most active baby on earth. I swear he never stops moving, jabbing, kicking, rolling and sticking his butt out. It gets down right painful and sometimes gives me the feeling of motion sickness.
Bing, Maddox and I leave for Portland/Astoria on Wednesday evening. We are driving the 18 plus hours which should be really interesting with an almost 2 year old and a pregnant lady who already has the smallest bladder on the planet. If anyone has ideas on how to make that more pleasant, please advise!
We are attending a conference/rally for World Wide Group. It should be a wonderful time of learning and inspiration for the two of us, and be really instrumental in getting our business to flourish. We are trying to pursue this HARD so that it might be possible for me to stay home with the kiddos after Baby#2 arrives. Things are tight with two incomes so there is no way we can hack it without something else bringing in the $. We sold Bing's old truck after we got the suburban and we put that money away for this trip. Bing longs for the coast and it blesses me to be able to allow him time there, not to mention all of the amazing family and friends we see while there.
Here is the latest belly shot.

4th at Mithter Teve's
Our 4th of July was awesome! I have always loved the fireworks, playing with torches, the smell of black powder but this was one of the best. The entire family was invited to stay in a friend's cabin on Canyon Ferry and enjoy their fun water toys and showering out-of-doors. The showering was fun, except for the breezes that blew the cold, wet, shower curtain into your body and exposed you to the deer grazing on the hillside.
We played in the paddle boat, roamed the huge lake on the wave runner, went on boat rides, fished(with no luck), jumped on the trampoline, played catch with their dog, ate ungodly amounts of watermelon and other delicious foods, drank margaritas and watched 10's of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks explode in sparkling glory.
Except for getting frostbite in July it was a perfect weekend. Oh, didn't I tell you? While replacing the ice cube tray in the ooold freezer, my slightly damp fingers froze to the metal liner. As I whined that it was burning, my mother got a bowl of warm water to free me. I barely got my hand free before that also froze. I now have 3 purple fingers that are slightly blistered. Ouchy.
