This is for you, Holly

We had a fun 3rd of July-around here the fireworks happen the day before the 4th. We went out to lunch as a family, and that night we went to the Stake Center to watch the fireworks. We sat in the back of the truck, drinking sodas and eating fruit roll-ups. We really know how to party, eh?

Aimee is here!

Pregnancy sucks!

I am only about 4 weeks from my due date, but I AM SO DONE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!!! Sometimes my lower back hurts so badly, I hobble around like a decrepit old lady. I have chosen to sleep in the guest bedroom so I don't drive Eric crazy with my incessant snoring, rolling over, getting up to pee, etc.... I remember feeling good at 23 while pregnant with Ryan. But being pregnant at 31 is awful! I am posting a photo-I am so huge!!!!! I was never this big with the boys. Anyway, that is my rant for the day.
On a happier note, we got a new rat yesterday. I know most people think I'm bonkers for loving rats, snakes, etc, but they are such great pets! She is a beautiful rat-white with grey/silver markings. We named her Nezumi, which is Japanese for rat.

Random Photos

I looked at my blog, and I have no pictures! So here are a few recent photos of the fam.

Sorry for the absence.....

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything new in FOREVER! The Fishburn family is doing fine. Our baby is growing well (I am HUGE) and is a girl! We are 99.9% certain her name will be Aimee Marie. My Grandma went by her middle name, Marie, all her life, and she passed away very recently. I love family names. I just wish Grandma could have lived long enough to meet another of her namesakes. Ryan is loving 1st grade, reading up a storm. Jared turns five on Monday-he is just certain he is getting a hermit crab (which he is, fortunately).
We had our first BBQ of the season today. It stayed sunny and not too windy just long enough for us to cook and eat and enjoy ourselves, then it got overcast with a cold breeze. We are so excited for spring! It has been an extra cold winter, with crazy amounts of snow.
We are all healthy and happy. I'll try to keep up with this better.

Baby Fishburn

Hello everyone!
Here are a couple of photos of Fishburn child #3, due May 25, 2008. We'll find out if it's a girl or a boy next month! We put in our order for a girl, but we'll of course love a boy, too. In the bottom picture the baby is waving like crazy :)
