Help me Moms

So.... for all the millions of Moms who look at this (k, not millions), what are you doing for fun with your kids. I feel like such a lame-o. I can't even think of fun things to do. Well, some, but need more ideas. Thanks.

What is it about mud?

While I was inside trying to move dinner along, I thought my sister was keeping an eye on the kiddos. Well, this is where they ended up. Of course they loved it. Cooper tried to get some mud off his tongue but since his hands were all covered in mud, he just kept putting more mud in there. Yuck!

Parade pics

Just a few pics from a parade the girls were in, well, and Brian. Eventhough he hates parades, he was a good daddy and pulled them in the wagon since I feel like my stomach is going to squeeze me to death when I walk even a block. It was 1.4 miles, so good thing I didn't have to do it this time. The extra wagon buddy is one of Elizabeth's best friends Hannah. You're the best babe for sticking it out! :)

A day to play

Today we went to Sugar House Park with 2 of my sisters, Jill and Caroline, to feed the ducks. Unfortunately someone had dumped out a ton of bread and so they weren't interested in ours, so we took them over to the playground for a bit. Bri decided to take them over to the stream and while I ran to get my camera, they were already shoeless and getting wet. I then realized that I am a lame parent. I would have probably said no because I didn't want them to get wet, or muddy or whatever lame excuse I could have come up with, but lucky for them, Daddy was there to let them enjoy being a kid. I mean really, what do they care if they're wet. They had a blast and it was fun to watch them having fun. I'm glad Brian was there to let them get in before I could have said no. Anyway, here are a few pictures for ya.

Not much new

Not much new going on here around these parts. We haven't sold our house yet, but we've had a few lookers which is always encouraging. It's amazing too because I found out I can actually keep a house decently clean almost 24/7. Brian was out of town the past two weekends for Youth Conference and their Priest activity. I also learned during this time that I could be a single parent. It wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be, however, I don't want to do it all the time. I sure appreciate having Brian around and for all the help he gives me. It's good to have him home. I guess it wasn't too bad 'cause I knew there would be an end to it. I thought it was going to be a lot worse, especially once I got the kids in the car to go get some dinner and found out that Brian took our only car key, so I was carless for those 4 days, but we managed. My Mom did let me borrow their car for the last day. Anyway, down to 3 1/2 weeks 'til this baby comes. We're just in a waiting game for just about everything in life. At least it's warm and sunny out! OH, and just because I didn't know what picture to put on here, I threw one together of Coop.

Here's me...

I don't know why I keep posting things since it seems no one looks at our blog anymore (a soft tear rolls down my cheek). But, for those who care and don't say anything, we're down to less than 5 weeks 'til this baby is due, so here's an updated picture. The face shots were this challenge we did on this photo website so I thought I'd put them up. It was just for fun. Hard to take a good picture of yourself. Try it sometime. It's like you get all the weird angles that make your nose look big or your fat show up on your neck. Anyway, there ya have it.

I see the LOVE

I wasn't sure if it was there or not, but got a few pics of it, so it must be in there somewhere! :)

I love this kid!

Before Church

Brian's favorite thing to do before church.... take pictures. (Not really his favorite.)
