Looking for...

An orange clock--or a clock that I could paint orange and an orange rug--preferably shag. Anyone seen anything?

And as for Wyatt's room I have been waiting till I get it all done, but I realize it may be a week or so yet, so I will just leave you with a teaser.




And this is the cradle that my very kind sister is letting me borrow. I love it and I can't wait to use it. I never splurged on one with my first two.

More Ranch Pictures

I took a total of 3 Ranch pictures, but thankfully my Mom took plenty.

The Whole Crew
Who knew 2 people could generate this much offspring?

Just the grandkids.

Faith dancing for someone...

My brother even brought up a wagon to get in the spirit of the 24th.

Jesse and Matthew have never paid much attention to each other before, but this trip they did some serious bonding.

They spent most of the day doing this.

And a very pregnant Momma.

Ranch Reunion 2008

Over the 24th we had our annual Ranch Reunion. 53 in total including all my siblings and their kids, my parents, and my cousin and her kids. Lets just say we were happy to have our trailer and just a little bit of private space. The days were filled with jeep rides, rhinos, 4-wheelers, jumping on the tramp, and jumping in the lake. I don't think that Jesse said more than 10 words to me for four days. He was all about cousins 24-7. Faith enjoyed charming one boy after the next-getting them to pick her up and love on her for as long as they would tolerate it. I enjoyed not really having to do much, and going for walks. And I think Ben liked it all. All and all is was a successful vacation. The last before our new little guy comes! Just 3 1/2 weeks.

A Big Thanks To My Man

We, well maybe I should say Ben has spent the last two Saturdays painting my nursery furniture. And now, after hours and hours it is all painted. He really wasn't excited about the task, so I really appreciate his willingness to do it for me--and I have to say that it turned out pretty stinking cute. So thanks Daddy, Wyatt's room will be unbelievably cute--I mean studly.



I know, your thinking aqua? Well, wait till you see the finished product, in the nursery, with the bedding.

*and thanks to Karen for the idea*

Family Night Up At Tibble Fork Reservoir

For family night last night we decided to do a little picnic up at Tibble Fork Reservoir. Faith started to get sick on the way up and didn't have the best time, but the rest of us did. We enjoyed the scenery, fed the squirrels, and put our feet in the freezing water. American Fork Canyon is so pretty I wish we went up there more.

Jesse has learned to roll his tongue and now you can see he does it quite a bit.

Faith not feeling so great if you can't tell

Old, but still makes me laugh

I think this was two years ago, but I came across these pictures just now and I still laughed out loud. This is our bumper after driving up to Afton Wyoming and we told my nephew if he did a full tongue lick up the bumper we would give him--I think $12. Maybe we should have been reported to child protection services...

New Crib!

Well kind of...at least new paint. I went and got all of the tools, now I am just waiting for Ben to come home and help me carry the dresser and crib the the garage to paint. I have been waiting to do this for what seems like months, so I hope it turns out.

I'll post pictures when we get it all done.
