32 Weeks

Oh my goodness! Look at me. I feel huge, and in fact I am. I had an appointment this morning. When Dr. Fisher came in he asked if I was 30 weeks, I quickly reminded him that we changed the due date to match the ultrasound which makes me 32 weeks, thank you very much. So then he measured my belly and guess what, I measure 36 weeks. What the crap. Dr. Fisher was a little concerned and has ordered another ultrasound to see just how big this baby is. So we may be having a baby sooner than we thought. We'll have to see what the ultrasound says first.

I'm serious people, NAMES! Come on.

4-Wheelin'

One of the days that Amber and Steve were home we went on a four wheeler ride with them. We rode to some indian ruins called Lewis Lodge. It was about a mile hike from where you have to park the 4-wheelers, so I stayed with my mom, and Ally and Havyn while the rest of the group hiked to the ruin. I'll have to get some pictures from Steve of the ruin. It was a good time. It's getting harder for me to ride, with every bump I have a contraction (or at least my belly hardens in defense mode).

Ally and Havyn

My sister Amber and her family were home visiting for a couple of weeks before they moved to Hawaii (they left yesterday, so sad). Her little girl Havyn and Ally are the best of friends. They are so funny and cute together. They don't get to see each other very often though so I was fun that they could spend a couple weeks together.

They did get into some trouble together, I guess they were egging each other on. Here are a couple of pictures of when they got into Grandma's lotion. Ally loves to take baths, especially at Grandma's so maybe this was just a way for them to make us give them a bath. Little stinkers.




I don't know why I didn't take any pictures of Ethan and Cole (Amber's son). They were good little buddies too. I think they must have ridden the 4-wheeler's for at least 4 or 5 hours a day. They got really good at spinning donuts. We're sad they had to leave. We had a really fun time while they were here, but we're excited to go visit them in Hawaii.

Jericho Road

Jerico Road came to Blanding for our Youth Conference. We have a connection with one of the guys, Dave. My brother David married Tiffany, whose brother is Dave Kimball in Jericho Road. So anyway, my dad contacted them to come down and perform for youth conference. On Thursday night the did a fireside where each of the guys spoke and the sang songs in between, it was really good. The next night was the concert, the whole communtity was invited so we all went. It was good as well. It was kind of windy and rained for a minute but we still had a good time.

Here is Jericho Road in concert. I don't know why I waited until dark to take a picture of them, cause now you can't see them. I'm pretty smart these days.


Here we are eating ice cream with Jericho Road after the concert. This picture was kind of an inside joke with Javan and I, but I thought I would include it so you would all know that I hang out the famous people. Just kidding.

Lake Powell Slide Show

Lake Powell

I can't make that slide show work in this post, does anyone know how to add a slide show to a post. Help me.

Anyway:

On June 30 - July 5 my whole family went down to Lake Powell and spent the week on our houseboat. It was so fun. It has been several years since we all got to go together so it was fun to have everyone.

Since it was so hot and I am a giant pregnant woman we spent alot of time in the water to keep myself cool. Good thing the water was warm. Before we went Ally wasn't able to hold herself upright in the water with her life jacket on but by the end of the first day she had it down and was swimming everywhere, she wouldn't let us hold onto her the rest of the time. Ethan did great too, he even let me put his head under water 3 times in a row. Our week was filled with yummy food, swimming, watersports, hiking, lizard hunting, delicious food, sandcastle building, napping, playing games, water fights, good food, and good times all around.

It's one of my favorite places to be. There were so many pictures that I wanted to include that it would have taken an hour to look at them all, so I spared you all the pain and just included some in a slide show. (which is included above now) I hope you can tell how much fun we had.

Ethan going down the water slide. We used to do this all the time when I was little. I am so glad my kids can enjoy this now too.

Ally loved to float on her back in her life jacket, but she couldn't get back up. It was the funniest thing watching her kick and try her darndest. Such a big girl.

Ally thought it would be fun to jump in until she did it. She had jumped several times before I took this video but had the same reaction everytime.

Help!

Okay, I'm starting to stress out. We cannot come up with any baby names we love, or even like. We would love some suggestions. It's a boy by the way. Please help!!
