Waterton 85

I was looking through some old boxes at Mom and Dad's, and found a lot of old pictures. I think I should get a good scanner and digitize all these old things, because...

1. there is plenty of it
2. it would be fun to see
3. it would clear out the garage
4. it would preserve things like this picture.

Must be the same spot we were at this summer, right next to that foot bridge, near the picnic table with the over-friendly squirrels. Thought I'd share it.

For Those of You Who Missed It!

Blueberries + Bunk Beds + BIG bellies

Hello Fam! Just wanted to give you all an update since we saw you last. We've been doing our best to get ready for boy #3's arrival. First and foremost we've gotten a few adventures in. We hiked around (drove to the top) of Larche Mtn. one weekend. It was quite misty and very fun. We explored the mossy woods and even saw some deer with antlers. Then on our drive down from the Mountain we passed a blueberry farm and went and picked our own berries. We could fill up a can the size of mom's potato flake cans for only $5. It took a lot longer to fill up the can than I had expected. Although I'm sure the occasional grazing didn't help. We all had a great time!




The bunk-beds we found on craigs list. These were a great find and the boys love them!

Ben and I in DC

I have decided that florescent yellow is not so flattering on a woman who is 9 months pregnant!

We are hoping to have the baby around Sept 10 - 13th. My Dr. has decided that since Truman was close to 10lbs she would be willing to induce me at least a week early. I am praying for a 7 pounder this go around! Wish me luck!

Can't quite put my finger on it

I'm not exactly sure what it was about this Family Reunion that made it so great. Maybe the wonderful company, maybe the beautiful setting, maybe the activities a plenty, maybe the session at the temple, maybe the cousins all getting along, maybe the weenie roasts, maybe the picnics in Waterton, maybe ice cream from The Big Scoop, maybe our cool reunion T-shirts. Whatever it was, we loved it. My kids can't stop talking about Canada, and can't wait to go back. But I do think, in major part, we had such a wonderful family reunion because of our amazing Patriarch and Matriarch. Thanks again Mom and Dad for such a wonderful, memorable family reunion 2008.
