I haven't uploaded any of my photos from the past few weeks yet, but it's on my ever growing list of things to do!

We had a great trip to Idaho. We spent several days with my parents and a few up in Rexburg with my sister and her family. The kids loved playing with cousins and friends! Never a dull moment...

While we were in Idaho we went to my 11 yr class reunion, which turned out to be far more enjoyable than I had envisioned it. We had a family picnic during the day and an adult only dinner that evening. I don't think Joe and I have stayed out that late in a while...so sad, I know. It was fantastic to see friends I hadn't stayed in touch with and to meet their spouses and kids. It definitely made me feel bad about not having tried harder to stay in touch. Oh well, I suppose that is the beauty of these reunions, it gives you a chance to make up for some of that lost time...

I love this picture! I was standing talking to Kaylene (England) Hobbs and Joe came up and snapped this picture. Kaylene had never met Joe and had absolutely no idea who he was (I think you get that vibe from the look on her face)!! It was very funny and I think she was very relieved to find out who he was...it was worth a good laugh!

Quin with somebodies (I have no idea who's) boys playing at the park during the picnic.

Clay at the park.

Ali playing on the toys at the park.

Me at my 11 yr class reunion picnic.

Joe and I at the Adult Dinner after that evening.

I got some great pics of the kids at the water park up in Rexburg that I'll have to post soon. I am determined to get a new camera soon so I can take some better pics, but I haven't settled on a specific camera yet. If anyone has some great recommendations, PLEASE share!!

Only three or four more weeks before the baby comes, thank goodness! I am so sore most of the time, it is a bit ridiculous. I now waddle instead of walk, my feet are swollen so bad my toes look more like little smokies and today was the first day in WEEKS that I've been able to sleep past 6:30am. I definitely think having to wake up for feedings during the night would be better than my current existence...I'm just so darn uncomfortable! Oh well, it will all be worth it, and if I repeat that often enough, I'm convinced I'll believe it!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I have to say I am so very grateful for the sacrifices made on our behalf by those who have served, and continue to do so, to protect our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy. What a wonderful blessing it is to know there are men and women out there sacrificing so much for us, and for their families for supporting them in their service.

Enjoy what's left of the summer and hopefully I'll get some more pics up soon!
