It's a girl.........

but not mine. This is my new niece born yesterday on her Daddy's Birthday!!!

Oquirrh Mt Temple Open House

We took the kids and my Mom and Sister-in-law to the Oquirrh Mt. Temple open house. (Yes- I got to use the elevators, my sister-in-law is trying to go into labor, so she used the stairs.) I wasn't sure how the kids were going to feel about it - I hoped we hadn't built it up too much in their little minds.

They loved it.

The baptismal font was a favorite. Carter asked if he could get his floaties and go swimming. And when Bree told him "No, that's where they do baptisms for the dead". My cute nephew then said, " So they put dead bodies in there?" Everybody around us laughed.

After -we hit the ice cream joint-- it was a HOT day!

What a fun day! I love the temple and the blessings it brings to my life. I'm so glad I can share this with my whole family.

Bed Rest at Bear Lake

OK -so our bags were packed and we were on our way, I just had to go to a dr. appointment before we headed out for our week at Bear Lake. Well- 4 hours later I was sent home forbidden to go anywhere. (They said I was in pre-term Labor - they sent me home with some drugs and told me to stay in bed. HA) My family was so good about it, but after a couple days of being in bed and nothing happening I decided we should go anyway. (Don't tell my Dr.) I can do nothing at Bear Lake much easier than at home.

I love this boat!!! This is the very same boat that I rode on as a child, my dad completely restored it. Now my kids can experience that same thrill of sitting on the bow speeding through the water just like your flying. (way more thrilling than portrayed in the movie Titanic)"Don't worry Mom, we are not going out very far".

Then the wind came... Dave had to go rescue them -they were hysterical by the time he got to them. Good lesson learned.

It's always fun to catch-up with the Eyre's. We had a little family reunion with those of us who share that deep love for bear lake. It was fun to see cousins that I haven't seen in years.

I don't know how I feel about the "Stingray" since it has been outlawed for safety reasons, but the kids love it. It's a fun stable ride..... until the wind comes up and then it can take you 20 feet in the air just like that.

Every year he goes out a little deeper.
The girls had lots of Jam sessions . They wrote a ton of silly songs- watch for the album soon. It will blow "smelly cat" out of the water.Everybody loves the CANDY BAR game.So, I'm so glad we decided to go anyway. Now -I just have to explain the suntan to my Dr. Hee hee.
