Xactware Summer Party

Each year Das's work has a summer party.  This is the 3rd year I have gone with Das.  The first year was at Thanksgiving Point, last year was up in Park City(which we left early due to the unfortunate passing of Pete.) and this year was up at Sundance. Each year they give everyone in the family t-shirts or sweat shirts.  Das works for such a great company.  It is hard to have him gone so much, but I am thankful he has a job and for his hard work he puts into it.

Before we got to the party, we stopped to check out some falls.  They weren't the greatest, but it was a nice little walk for us all.  Especially for me....I wasn't feeling so great.

When we got to Sundance, we took the chair lift all the way to the top.  It was a lot longer than we expected.  But it was beautiful.

How cute are my boys!?!

On the way back down, we passed our friend Joe riding up with his daughter Kira.

And Brad with his two girls, Gabriela and Isabel

We then took the kids to the jumpy things.  We got up there to late but earlier they had face panting and pony rides.

We headed back to eat dinner and watch entertainment.....which we didn't stay for.  But the food was wonderful and the company always great.  Thanks Xactware!

THE LION KING

Friday night I had the chance to take the boys to go see The Lion King at the Capitol Theatre.  My favorite uncle Dean had purchased tickets and wasn't able to use them.  Das had his best friend Dan in town, so it worked out perfect.  He went out with Dan for the night and I took the kids to do this.  We met my parents for dinner at Sylvetres first.  And then headed down town.  The seats were the best in the house.  We had front row seats and on the end.  The boys absolutely loved it.  Tristan kept asking me when the curtains went down,"Mom, is it over?" And when I would tell him no he would then turn back to the stage and sigh, "ok Good!" lol  And at the end, Ashton told me that it was a really cool movie.  I enjoyed it myself.  Really glad I got to take them to see it and spend a night with my boys.  Thanks Uncle Dean!  We Love You!

(unfortunately, I didn't bring the camera, so these are the best pics my phone would take.)

Kindergarten Baby

I can't believe Tristan started kindergarten yesterday!!!

I think I was more nervous than he was.

He did say when we were walking there that his tummy hurt.  I told him it was okay to be nervous and that everything would be ok.  I was glad I was wearing my sunglasses.lol

He stood in line very patiently waiting for his teacher to lead them in.  He loved his day.  He has already passed off two book and is excited to do his homework.  It is so much fun to see him grow and his eagerness to learn as much as he can.  It is going to be a fun year for him.

Crashed out boys after a long day of playing...

WEADS for WEAVES.....

So every day I try and get out and do a little yard work. However, our yard is so big, and we have so many flower beds, that in this hot weather and me being pregnant, I can't stay out very long.  As you can see in this pic, our weeds did especially well this year.  I was able to pull alot before, but still had half the yard to do.  I had basically just given up on the backyard.  Until a couple of days ago my sweet neighbor Lorilee came over and said her girls wanted to do trade with me.  They all wanted their hair done and in return they would come dig out all of my weeds.

When I got home from my doctors appointment yesterday, they were hard at work.  I barely recognized my back yard.  We have some beautiful plants growing that were hidden by weeds.  Lorilee, Staci, and Mallisa filled the garbage can at least 10 times full of weeds and took them to a trailor they had across the street.

It was such a great trade.  I got to do what I love and get to know these girls a little more.  And in return, I can walk around my yard now without the anxiety I had before.

And on top of all that, her other kids came over to mow the lawn and trim around the edges.  They wanted to allow Das more time to spend with us when he was in town.

We are truely blessed to have such wonderful neighbors. 

24th of July with the Love Family

On the 24th we had Jason and Mia Love with their adorable kids over for a bbq and fireworks.  Unfortunately my camera battery died, so I didn't get to take very many pics.

And apparently I was blind and didn't see that all pics I took of their family captured the flash in the window.

The day on the 24th was quite hectic.  Das was up on the roof all day fixing the swamp cooler in the hot heat.  And to top that off, I had run over something in his car that ruined the tire.  We were stressed and a little grumpy.  So it was so nice to have friends over to take our mind off of earlier events.  After dinner we played some cards games.  Jason and I partnered up and we ended up letting Das and Mia win cuz we are cool like that.;)

Das and Jason.  Aren't they cute?!

Mia and I.  Even cutter!  Except my prego belly.

I'm loving the new bench Das bought me for my front porch so I could sit and watch the kids run around the neighborhood.

Sorry Das, this picture was better of me, Tristan and Ashton.  Maybe you can crop a better photo of you in later. lol  Hope everyone enjoyed their Pioneer Day like we did.

DayBreak Lake and Park

Friday night we went up to the lake to feed the ducks and relax.  These ducks are so aggressive.  The boys get scared and wont even feed them anymore cuz they kept getting their fingers bit.  I was even a little scared.  Before we even pulled the bread out we had a huge goose following us.  One was going after Ashton so aggressivly that I had to kick it away....twice!  I felt bad but the duck almost got his face.

We then walked up to the neat park they have.  This twisty thing was their favorite.  Das would put each of them on and it would start to turn.  Das would then give it a little push and the boys would go flying off.  We love how close we are to DayBreak and the District.  It was a great Friday night.  I got videos but can't figure out how to upload them here.  Keeps saying there is an error.  So I posted them on facebook.=)

Half way HUGE!

Only twenty more weeks to go.  If I am this big all ready....I am scared to see how big I am when I deliver. lol  This pregnancy has been different all together.  Got bigger faster, not as sick in the beginning, feeling the baby move earlier, and a cute husband that takes such good care of me with quick trips the the store, and back rubs.
