Whoa, Three Kids.......

Having three kids is definately a little more challenging than having two! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it. I just don't have as much time to get things done as I did before. Hence the blog catch-up! (Well that is the excuse I am using this time, it seems I am always playing catch-up though, huh!) It might take me a few days to get caught up, so bare with me! First off I wanted to post a little blurb about mine and Seth's ten year anniversary (August 13th)! Yep TEN years we've been married! Yea! It has been ten wonderful years. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for sending Seth into my life. He is definately not perfect, (hey who is right?) but he is definately perfect for me! We wanted to do something special for our anniversary, but with my being sooo prego, a cruise was out! We decided to just take it easy and send our kids to stay with their aunt Val for a night and Gramsie for a couple nights. It was perfect. We could sleep in our own comfortable bed, and sleep as late as we wanted to. We didn't have to pack our stuff in suit cases. We could just relax and come and go as we pleased. It was very relaxing. We had a great time! Poor Gramsie on the other hand had to deal with a sick Gavin. Poor Dale got puked on! Poor Gavin! I felt awful! Well I just wanted to say thank you to Valerie and Gramsie for watching our rascals for us. It was so nice to have some time to ourselves. I also wanted to thank Seth for being such a great husband and father. I am so glad I chose to marry him! I can't
wait to see what the next ten years will bring!

Well this isn't my favorite post, but because I
have family and friends I don't get to see very
often, here are some pictures of my "Prego"
belly. I am 35 weeks along here. Yeah, I know,
I look like I am about to pop!

I am due September 17th. Yea , only 3 more weeks
to go. I can hardly wait. I went to the doc. today.
I am dilated to a 2 1/2 -3.

Camping in McCall

So Seth decided to take the boys camping in
McCall and give me about a day and a half
all to myself. It was great and the boys had
a blast! Here are my three "Cool Dudes"!

They did some hiking, which Seth said drove
him crazy because the boys were being dare
devils and kept wanting to get too close to the
edge of the cliff. Yikes!

They loved the camp fire and roasted
marshmallows for s'mores. Neither of the boys
would eat them after they were all hot and gooey.
They liked the marshmallows better fresh out
of the bag. So Seth got his fill of gooey
marshmallows!

They got to spend some time at Payette Lake.
The boys loved the beach!

"Splish Splash"

We have had lots of fun at the Boise city pools
this summer. We got a family pool pass. The
kids have enjoyed themselves. We spent most
of our pool time at Ivy Wild. It's great, it has a
way fun kiddie pool with slides and fountains.
It was also the perfect depth for both of our kids.
It took Brogan quite a few times of going to the
pool before he became completely comfortable.
By the time the pool closed for the season, he was
acting like a fish and never wanted to get out.
Gavin is totally a water baby and was never afraid.
He just jumped right in from the very start.
I'm glad we decided to get a swim pass. It sure
helped keep us cool this summer and was really
great family times!

We decided to take the boys on their
first fishing trip of the season.

Brogan is all ready to catch a big one!

Uh-oh, that can't be good!

Hmm just pretend like I meant to
do that!

Aaaah, see it's all good!

Gavin is ready to catch his first fish
ever!

Just smile and no one will notice I
don't know what I am doing!

Oh oh I think I might have one!

False alarm!

They didn't catch any fish this trip,
but they sure had fun....especially getting
all wet!

4th of July

We had a pretty quiet 4th of July. We didn't do much until that evening.
Ann Morrison park's anniversary is the 4th of July, so they have quite a
celebration. They have activities going on throughout the day and then
they have a firework show that is pretty good. We went there for a
picnic and then just hung out until the fireworks. The kids played at the
playground and Brogan got cooled off in the fountain. Here are some
pictures of the boys being cheesey while waiting for the firewoks to start!

This is Brogan and his dance class at their dance
recital dress rehearsal. Yes, I know these pictures
are long over due! His recital was back in May!
Well, anyway here they are. He was so scared
to go up on stage that I didn't get any pictures
of him smiling, but he did the night of his recital!
There wasn't much rhyme or reason to the routine,
but it was sure cute to watch! good job Brogan!

Here is Brogan with his "Good Luck" balloons
and M&M's from mom and dad!
