Baby's room is DONE!

After a few months of trying to figure out exactly how I was going to do some of this I have FINALLY finished the baby's room. The walls are still somewhat bare, but I have a few ideas for some of these, so I think this room will always be a fun ongoing project for me.
What Lincoln calls "princess" light

Super cute lamp (from Grandma Diana), baby book (from Aunt Laura), and piggy bank(from Ashli)
Curtains all hung and everything in place
Very greatful to my mom for her wonderful sewing skills and help with the bedding and valance!
Now that everything's done I just need a baby (hint hint little girl in my belly!)!

Fishing trip and itty bitty soccer

We decided a few weeks ago to pack the kids up in the car and head up American Fork Canyon to Silver Lake to have some dinner and go fishing with the cousins. The kids had SO much fun and Carter caught his first fish all by himself. He was so proud!
Lincoln obviously had no clue what he was doing and kept throwing his line out over and over. Brandon finally took the hook off and just let him play with it

We signed Carter up for his last session of Itty Bitty Soccer. His favorite position was goalie. He was so fun to watch and really enjoyed himself.
Trying to dribble the ball around the cones (it was really hard to get a pic becuase I was sitting about 30 feet away on bleachers. Sorry the pics aren't that great).
Next up for Carter is basketball this winter. Since he is turning 5 he will actually have real practices on weeknights and games on Saturdays. He is pretty excited for this.

Pioneer Day 2011

On Pioneer day this year Brandon was lucky enough not to get any emegency calls so we were able to spend the day as a family. We had so much fun taking the kids to Trafalga even though it was unbearably hot (well, maybe just for this prego momma). We had never taken the kids there and were pleasantly surprised at how many things there are to do there. Besides all of the fun outdoor rides they offer a huge arcade, laser tag, bowling, mini golf, & rock wall for climbing (there might even be more that I missed). We spent the whole afternoon there and then took the kids to grandma's for a BBQ. It was a great day and I really enjoy it when we can spend time together as a family.

The airplane ride
This ride shoots you straight up and drops you down. Carter loved it...Linc not so much. It's hard to see his expression on here but Brandon and I couldn't help but laugh. He never cried, however, so we knew he was fine
