A Little Confused!

Aspen is such a funny girl. It is finally really warm here in McCall and Aspen is pulling out here winter gear. I find it strange because in the winter I have to fight her to put on her snow boots and her winter coat. Now she puts it on herself and wants to wear it to the park and church ect. I do let it go in the house but I feel so bad because she just drips sweat. I have just decided to just let it go and have her be happy. I didn't get any pictures of her with the whole get up but I got a couple with parts of the winter wardrobe.Here I asked Aspen to got pick her sunday dress and start getting ready. Well she comes and finds me like this and said "I ready Mommy"Here she is in her winter coat in 85 degree weather. What ever works as long as she is happy and not passing out from heat exhaustion! :)

Happy 4th!


Hope you all have a wonderful 4th! I know so far we have enjoyed ourselves. Our ward every year does a July 4th Breakfast. Above are two tired but excited girls about to head out to the breakfast. We are truly thankful for the country we live in and are very thankful for all of the people that have fought and gave up their lives for our freedom. We Love the USA!!

Love the Beach!

Going to the Lake here in McCall is my favorite thing to do. I am so glad we are finally enjoying a beautiful summer here. The perfect summers are truly what gets me through the long winters we have. Usually each summer we are at the lake almost everyday of the week. Since I am very pregnant and don't have the energy I usually do we have cut that down a little, but still try to go 2-3 times a week. My girls just love it. The water is still very cold but it sure doesn't stop the kids from swimming. When Brocks family was visiting a couple weeks ago we all went to the beach. Below are a few pictures of them playing with Grammy. Kamden, Deagon, Aspen and Grammy. Kamdens new favorite thing is to jump off the dock. She never gets tired, and she is getting braver each time going a little deeper.I love that little girls bum. I can't help but always look at her bum when she is wearing her "swimming soup" as she calls it. Aspen and Nanny (Aspens great grandma). I was so mad I didn't have my camera earlier because Nanny was talking to Aspen as they were walking to the car and Aspen was just studying her so seriously. She was looking so closely at her hand and followed it up her arm all the way to her face. It was so precious. She just loved Nanny. I couldn't find her one day when they were visiting and then I found Aspen laying on the bed with Nanny just talking away. Such sweet memories!

Baby Shower....

The baby shower was great. I got so many fun and cute things. Great food, great games, great company. Thank you so much to all of my friends who put this together for me; Aleah, Jessica, Becky and those who helped with food. I had a really awesome time. Aleah made these really cute invitations! Rexanne and Arriann (Brocks mom and sister)
Kelly, Jamie, Lisa M., Lisa P, and Becky

Frances, Dawna and Lisa

These were just some of the people that came. Thank you again everyone so much!!

I have a really funny story I have to share, so my mom called me about a week before my shower saying how sad she was that she couldn't be there but she wanted me to have a least one little thing from my own mom to open. She then asked a few times if I would have someone video tape me opening her box she and my sister sent. They made a few receiving blankets for him. She then called me again reminding me to tape it. I was thinking "wow these must be some really cool blankets." Well to my surprise, lets just say I was taken off guard a little. :)

Here I am opening and not having a clue and then I saw this....

This was the first blanket I opened. I had the back to me first so I wasn't sure what everyone was screaming and laughing about. I quick flipped it over and started cracking up. I have to say my face turned a little red too. I thought it was so funny and still do. I can totally picture my mom and Brittney laughing at the fabric store as they thought they were so funny.There is a little piece of the back, dalmation print. My mom was so nervous what people would think of her, she wants everyone to know it was just a joke. A really funny one I might add. She said "please don't you ever take this to church". I thought that was funny because as soon as I opened it at the shower I said this was my new nursing blanket for church. :)

BIG MAMA IN DA HOUSE!!

Well yes that is me! I am not proud to say it but it is true. That picture was taken at 33 weeks. I am now 34 weeks. Yeah only 6 weeks left. I am really starting to feel ready but I know I still have a little while. I just wanted everyone that is far away not to feel left out because they haven't seen my belly size!! Besides my back trouble and normal pregnacy pains, I can't complain. We are getting excited for the new little boy to join our family. Some friends are throwing me a baby shower that I am pretty excited about on Friday so I will post about that next week for all my family and friends who couldn't be there.

Happy Fathers Day!

Just wanted to wish a Happy Fathers Day to my husband, my dad and Brocks Dad. Our family is truly blessed to have such great fathers in our lives. I am very thankful for my dad and father in law. They have been great examples and role models for Brock and I. My girls are sure lucky to have 3 great men in their lives! We had a great day with Brock and tried to spoil him and give him the day off. I don't know how relaxing it really was for him, when you have 2 daughters that just want to play games and climb on him and a very pregnant wife with not much energy to do anything. But I am sure he still knows how much he is loved! The girls with their Daddy before church. I could not get a good picture so don't mind Kamdens eyes closed, she said the sun kept getting in her eyes. What do you do? I guess just close them for every picture!! :)They sure love their Daddy. Just looking at those three smile and laugh together makes me so happy. I am a very lucky woman to have them in my life.

Silly Girls!

I was looking through my pictures and found some cute random ones that I thought I would post. The first picture is of our "HOMEY G" daughter. That hat is one that Kamden decorated at school, it is just a really odd shaped hat but they both love it. :) If any of you know Brock he has a huge sweet tooth. I know he will thank me later for the picture but he loves his milkshakes. Well we know one thing and that is he passed his sweet tooth to our daughter Kamden. She will ask me at snack time if she can have JUNK! Like father like daughter. Both with their milkshakes.
Below we have the girls making silly faces. They really thought they were funny. They asked me to take some pictures! And some more faces, Gotta love Em!The next picture is my favorite, I was upstairs doing laundry and came down to my girls lying like this. I thought it was so sweet. Kamden is such a wonderful big sister.
