Bridal Veil Falls

For FHE the other night we went up to Bridal Veil Falls to play in the water and have peanut butter pie that Shae made. We went up with our friends Gen and Ashton and their new baby Lucy. It was fun, but the water was pretty cold. That didn't stop Elizabeth and Ali from playing in the water. It did however keep Aiden out of the water most of the time. I have to say Ali was the most adventurous. She tried to climb up the mountain and on a big rock.

Sleeping on the trampoline

Sunday night we were all playing on the tramp when I told the kids I used to sleep on my trampoline when I was a kid. Then of course Lizzy and Ali said they wanted to sleep on the tramp. So I told them I would with them. Lizzy and Ali fell asleep fine. But I couldn't sleep. My hips and lower back kept hurting. So finally at 1 or 2 am I decided to come inside and sleep. Ali then woke up and was scared. So I brought the girls inside and we slept in our beds. Maybe we will try another time when I'm not pregnant.

Swimming this summer

We have had a fun time swimming this summer. I think this summer we went swimming more than any other summer. This summer Lizzy has learned how to do a flip off the side of the pool. She also tries to dive off, but it is more of a belly flop. All the kids like going down the big slide. They sit on our laps and wear a life jacket. They have also enjoyed getting a snow cone afterward.

Camping

My mom's side of the family had a mini reunion up Hobble Creek Canyon camping. We went up Friday and came back late Saturday night. We had fun making smores, playing in the creek and hanging out with family. The girls slept perfect in the tent. Aiden woke up once and was scared because he didn't know where we were. I calmed him down and he went back to sleep. But I didn't sleep at all even though we had an air mattress. Our original plan was to stay until Sunday but I was afraid I wasn't going to sleep again and we needed to get back to go to church. So we got home at 11pm Saturday night. It was a fun time and we will have to go camping again soon.

Boating again

We went boating with my family on July 3rd to celebrate my sister's, Rebecca, 26th birthday. Shae hadn't been boating for ten years and I have to say I was impressed by my coordinated husband! He got up on the first try wake boarding and surf boarding. He also had fun tubing. Too bad I couldn't do anything since I'm pregnant. We all had a good time and ate good food.

What we have been up to

I haven't taken pictures of anything lately and when I don't take any pictures, I feel like there is nothing to post about. But this is what we have been up to lately:

-the girls are in swimming lessons
-the girls getting a tennis lesson from my dad
-going swimming at the Scera Pool where we have a pass
-going to Lizzy's T-ball games every Saturday
-going to Shae's softball games every Tuesday
-going to my pregnancy check ups
-watching Wimbledon on television
-kids playing in our new sandbox
-hosting Bunco at our house (game that some ladies in my ward play every second Thursday of the month)
-planning a baby shower for my friend Genevieve
-giving the kids little lessons on letters, numbers, reading, Spanish, ect. so they don't forget everything they learned in preschool

These are some of the things we have been doing lately. Hopefully I will take some pictures soon and feel like I can post something worth posting.

Boating

My brother owns a boat and invited us out boating on Saturday. I took the kids while Shae stayed home to get some stuff done. We all had a good time even though I couldn't wake board since I'm pregnant. Lizzy got on the surf board with my brother. She really didn't like it much though since she was scared and the water was a little cold. Ali fell asleep sitting up on the boat since we were out during nap time. Aiden fell asleep at the very end. It was a fun day.
