Celebration

Just a few photos to capture Dusty's birthday. We started the day with yummy pancakes and smoothies. After church, we relaxed and drove out to where my Grandma is to have a little dinner. They had reserved a dining room and had dinner served. So thoughtful of them! Then a few days later we invited some friends over to have a barbeque. We hoped the weather would be good (it has been so windy lately) and the evening turned out very well!

Memorial Day Fun

This Memorial Day was completely relaxed and full of fun. Dusty woke up and directly hung out our American Flag. -wish I would have taken a picture of it- We ate a nice breakfast. After talking Dusty out of the six+ mile hike he wanted to do, (because let's face it people, I'm not super-woman pregnant lady) we decided to visit Snow Canyon and do some of the shorter little hikes there. it was a good choice. Tyson loved the roaming trails and creepy crawly lizards.


Tyson had a little trouble with the fact that he couldn't exactly wander where he pleased and had to stay with the pack. :) But overall, he did quite well.


We took the roundabout way there and started hiking quite early so that it was still cool.


Dusty and I surprised Tyson with swimming later. We weren't sure if the pools would be open. This was great fun for all of us. Dusty loved the water slides and (apparently) the life jackets so he could float and drift. Tyson loved the shallow water and new swim toys I brought, and I loved the weightlessness you get from swimming. Plus, I just love swimming. I would go every day if I could.







After swimming we did the tiniest bit of shopping and drove home for naps and lounging. I even got a little bit of stuff done in the craft room!

Dusty and I watched a memorial special on PBS, and that rounded the day off nicely. It was such a nice break and so relaxing.

Almost six months

Can you believe it? I can't.

I have been continuing my album that documents my "Embark upon Motherhood" and I realized that I needed pictures of my belly.

Yesterday I typed up Tyson's birth story (somehow that hadn't yet made it into the book) and also the getting pregnant story for this baby. I got so emotional. Chalk it up to being pregnant. I read through my journal of the events and started to recall much much more and decided to add it to the book as well. It's the little/funny moments in a story that make it so memorable.




I have been feeling very very good. I can't complain, but I can say that all of the sudden I feel very pregnant. Bending over is hard. Good thing I have a little shadow around the house who is more than willing to fetch something for me.
