Last weekend we had to go to Cortez to meet with a midwife. So we decided to go stay at "grandmas at the farm" as my boys call Steve's mom on Friday night. They were ALL so excited to wear their new John Deere shirts. 
On our way home from Cortez last week I couldn't help but stop and take some pictures in this sunflower field. They didnt' turn out so great, but cute enough for a memory.
Bronsen is a pretty decent photographer for a 4 year old.I'm getting too fat to keep it a secret much longer. Even my brother Nate came up to me at the football yardsale on Saturday and said, "So, how much longer do you think you're going to be able to keep this a secret?" Thanks Nate.
So anyway, we're expecting again in February. We're about 12 weeks along, so hopefully past the point of another miscarraige. We're very excited and pray that all goes well.
I'm not sure whether I'm posting to make all of the other moms out there jealous or if I just don't know what to do with myself. I'm sitting in the hotel in Boulder, CO just bloggin' and finally getting a chance to comment on all of your blogs. Steve and I drove over last night after dropping off the kids at my moms. This is the second trip this month that we have taken and left the boys. I know, I'm spoiled. Thanks to our moms! So Steve is at his training and I'm just here wasting the day away. I'll probably go do a little shopping after lunch.
Another reason for posting today is that I might need to explain the "B town biggest losers" blog. I went to a young womens presidency meeting last week and one of the other ladies asked me if this was really a blog that we got on and talked about who we thought were the biggest losers in Blanding. Holy cow, I'd hope most of you know me better than that. NO!!! This is a blog that my cousin Laici set up for all of us to try to lose weight and be "big losers" ourselves. If anybody really really want to see to blog I'm sure you can go to her blog and request an invitation.
Life has been so crazy lately that I just haven't quite been keeping up. You can tell by the laundry that has been piling up for so long that poor Steve finally took it as his mission to at least put it all through the washer. Now I just have to fold Mount Everest. But thanks honey!
We had a really fun 4th of July. I finally uploaded a few pictures. Oh how I need high speed internet!!! We went to the parade and then watched Steve play with my cousins in the 4 on 4 sand volleyball tournament. After they lost out we went to my moms for some Navajo Tacos and I set up a carnival for the kids. It was so much fun I think it will become an annual tradition. No more expensive than the booths downtown, and our booths always deliver prizes. We even had metals for the footraces. Thanks to my aunt Stacey for all the prizes! We then went down to Centennial Park and enjoyed the fireworks. Quite the show for small time Blanding.
