Some Things

Parker and Staucie like to do laps around through the kitchen. Parker usually pushes his truck with his dinosaur in it and Staucie usually runs with her stroller that has her blankie in it. I am sure the Hendersons below us LOVE it, ha ha. They do this a lot during the day.

Parker LOVES to open and shut doors. He likes to say, "Hi" too.
This is the other thing Parker likes to do laps with. His dinosaur is shoved under neath.

Hogle Zoo

At the last minute, the kids and I went to the zoo yesterday with some women and their kids that live by us. There were 6 women and 10 children. It was a lot of fun. We hope to go again soon before it closes with Daniel, now that the weather has cooled down. The kids are free still!!!

My Birthday

It was a week ago. Our siblings came over to celebrate. (Thanks for coming and for my gifts, I love you all.) Staucie and Parker helped me blow out the candles.

About to Pop

I am 5 months pregnant now. I have been trying to convince the women in my ward that I get HUGE when I am pregnant. Others who have seen me during my last two pregnancies can testify. I have an almost non-existent torso and carry my babies completely on the outside. This also makes for a very sore belly. Anyways, I went to Pack Meeting tonight for Cub Scouts because I am an Assistant Cub Master and as soon as I walked into the room a man said, "Whoa, let's not deliver any babies here tonight!" I then told him, "Don't worry I still have a LONG ways to go." He said, "Oh, a......." I came home to tell Daniel and my sister, Tyne and almost bawled. This also reminded me of the time I was pregnant with Staucie and I was 7 months along. We were in California at Christmas time and stopped at a gas station on the way to my parents' cabin. I went in the store with my mom and some man says, very loudly, "D@#* mama, you's about to pop!" I did not tell him I still had 2 months left. And then a short time later when we were back home in our ward in Provo, a man came up to me and told me that I was huge and must be having a huge baby. And that his wife NEVER got THAT big. Yes, thank you, that makes me feel great. And no my baby was not huge, she was 7.8, average thank you.

So, yes, all you MEN, I know how GIGANTIC I am pregnant. You don't have to tell me. I am already VERY aware and embarrassed of my size. Thanks for rubbing it in!

Nap Time

This is how I found Parker asleep in his bed today and I thought he looked so cute snuggled up with his quilt that my mom made him.

And then, Staucie who hasn't really been taking naps lately was in Tyne's room (Parker's "old" room) and she was being very quiet so Tyne went to check on her and found her asleep on the floor with her dolphin. Her blanket was in the wash so I am surprised she fell asleep. She must have been VERY tired. I put a blanket on her and shut the door. Cute little girl.

Redding

We spent a week with Daniel's parents in Redding before going to Lake Shasta which is very close by. Daniel took 2 weeks off of work and I was sad to have him go back to work. We had a lot of fun with Grandpa and Grandma Lees. We hung out, played in the pool, went out to eat a lot, and wore out the kids (and Grandma).

Grandma had to remove her glass because they wouldn't stay off it

Thanks for having us, paying for us, and watching our kids so we could go out a number of times, we had fun and miss you!

Lake Shasta

We went to Lake Shasta in Northern California for a week with my parents, my brother Shea, my sister Tyne, my Uncle Steve, Aunt Tracy, their 2 kids, and their 2 friends. It was tons of fun!

Parker stuck his hand in a subwoofer and got his finger stuck, he ripped off a good chuck of it. Daniel learned how to surf behind a boat and loved it. We had lots of fun, didn't get enough sleep, but lots of sun!!! Thanks mom, dad, Steve, and Tracy for inviting us along!
