Playing catch up

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Here are a few of the highlights of the past couple of months. First, I celebrated the big 3-0 this year! Yes, I know, I am getting old.

Drew worked his tail off to finish a couple rooms in the basement. It is finally finished. Hooray!! We now have a family/tv room and another bedroom, which is being used as an office. This is a picture of Drew after a night of sanding the drywall. And of course, Blake, Dad's little sidekick was almost always by his side wanting to help.


We met Drew's family down in Ogden to celebrate his mom's birthday. We had lunch at a restaurant called Bee's. Then we went over to the Hill Aerospace museum. It was a cold day, but we had fun looking at all the planes.

Drew's birthday-June 23. I did something a little different this year for his cake. He is a German chocolate cake fan, so I usually make that, but this year I tried a recipe I found recently for a coconut tres leches cake. It was so yummy!!


Drew got a "One Million Dollar Bill" for his birthday from his mom.

Other highlights:
Ethan got to go to his first Cub Scout Day Camp. Drew went along with him, and they had a lot of fun. They had all sorts of stuff to do such as a BMX bike course, archery, BB gun shooting, a zipline (Ethan did not go on it, but Drew was able to), an obstacle course, a craft, etc. They had a great day together and with the other cub scouts in our ward.
I also got to go to the same Day Camp with the Activity Days girls in our ward. The girls had a ton of fun, and it was a fun day. I wanted to do the zipline so bad, but I knew there was no way they would have let an 8-month-pregnant woman do that.
The boys took swimming lessons again this year. It was only a week this year because the lady that teaches them is going back to school and it was the only time she had to do it. They did really well. I was very surprised to see both of them get right into the water without hesitating on the first day.
We are about 9 weeks away from having our baby girl. I am getting very excited/anxious/nervous. It will be very nice to not be pregnant, but at the same time I want her to stay in there longer because I just don't know how I am going to juggle 3 children and stay sane. But really, I am excited to have a baby again. It will be a whole new adventure for us all.
