Picnic at Tropic Reservoir

Well, the a few Saturdays ago, Lance looked at me and asked me what we should do that day, and we didnt really have that much to do around the house so we decided to go to Tropic Reservoir for a picnic. The boys though it was so much fun. I guess we forget that we have places like this that are ten minutes from our house. Corbyn cant seem to get any cheesier in this picture
The found out about trhowing rocks into the lake.
Kay so I think they were overdoing it with the rock size a bit.

Our Beach Trip

So we recently got back from San Diego where my parents rented a beach house for a week. It was lots of fun. Most of the family were there and the kids got to do a lot of playing on the beach while the adults mostly ate. Here's Corbyn with some of his cousins at Point Loma
Here is the most decent pic I could get of my boys while at the tide pools at Point Loma.
Here are all the cousins that were there except for my bros kids and aimees kids
We attempted to get a decent family picture but as you can see it didnt quite work out

I told ashley I was going to put this at the front of my blog as my family picture. We were at the wild aminal park and she had to have a wheel chair so that the baby would stay in.
Blake at the wild animal park, he was really excited, can't you tell
Corbyn at the beach
Blake at the beach, he didnt like the water and he was scared of the sea weed, he thought they were fishies.

Corbyn's First Day of School

So Corbyn is now in pre-school and I had to get a picture of him going in. He loves school. I wasnt sure how he was going to react to it but he loves it. That morning I had gotten his clothes out to wear and he continued to throw a fit because he didnt want to wear the pants I had for him. Did I mention that they were the last pair of pants that were long enough for him. Anyone that knows my boys know that they are tall giants for their age. Thus, I finally gave in and let him wear a pair of pants that were too short for him. Then I went and packed up the rest of the short ones so that he wouldnt have as many options. He looked like he was waiting for a flood.

Baby News

Yes I did use bed rest as an excuse to read the twilight books. I read them all in one week. I was a little addicted. Anyways, had a check up and the doc says that the ultrasound looked good and I am now almost 13 weeks. A few days more than I thought I was, that always nice. I just got back from being at the beach for a week so I am wasted. I will post beach pics later. By the way, it has not been confirmed that I am having a girl. But Corbyn really thinks so, he tells his dad he is havign a baby sister and dad says, "dont you want another brother ?" and then they argue for a while about who's right. I just hope it stays where it is.

OK I HAVE TO FESS UP

Well, I guess I had better announce this because it is starting to get out. I planned to keep it secret for another 2 weeks but 3 days ago while on the way home from cedar city I started bleeding pretty bad, so I called lance and he told me to go back to cedar to my doctor and he would meet me there, let me tell you that was a crappy experience. So when I got to the doctor, he did an ultrasound and the baby is still there, everything looks normal so far, so suddenly I am put on complete bed rest for the next week until my next appointment. Anyone that had been on bed rest, the first day is kind of nice, you get to rest and watch TV, then you start to go crazy. So my mom and sister showed up yesterday to help take care of me for a few days. Lance has been so good. He yells at me anytime I get up to do anything but pee. So hopefully everything will be ok and I can get back to normal life. So anyways, everything seems good right now, for the time being, guess we'll wait and see. I think everthing will be fine.

Some fun pics.....

Heres a few pictures of whats going at my house.
Heres Corbyn riding in the go cart with his cousin Kasen. This was at our 24th of July celebration.He loved the slide.
Ok so Blake loves popsicles, he stole one of mine and one of lances and then continued to eat all three.

Riding in the wheelbarrow

So the kids decided that they were tired and needed a ride in the wheelbarrow. They thought it was so fun.

Ok so Lance and I are lucky enough to be harassed by some kids from town. One is Lance's nephew and the other, well, Im sure Lance is related to him too. To say the least my kids think it is the greatest thing when these kids come over. These are some pics that I took while they were at our house one night. Blake thinks he is the coolest thing sitting here playing on the internet with them.

Half Marathon Update

Ok so I decided to run the Bryce Canyon area half marathon from Rubys Inn to Cannonville UT its aproximately 13 miles. I have been training for a long time now and have made it to my tenth mile. This is big for me because I am I was not a big runner prior to about 8 months ago. I am still not that good but I am thrilled that I have at least run as far as I have. I am not going for placing or a good time. I am going just to finish it.

Watering the flowers

So the other day I got Blake naked for a bath and he booked it out the front door, quickly picked up the watering can and proceeded to water my flowers. Now how could I deprive him of that pleasure, even buck naked. So I decided to use it as a photo op.

Thomas the train

Ok so anyone with a little boy has got to know Thomas the Train. Well he was at the Heber Valley Railroad last month and we took Corbyn and Blake up to see him. Corbyn is a huge fan, he eats sleeps and breaths thomas the train. He was in heaven.
