Camping on Fathers Day

After church we headed up to Strawberry.  We camped near where Nathan took the boys for father and sons.  One night.

I wish we could have done 2 nights but the kids are pretty young and I am pretty pregnant and 2 hours of sleep makes you pretty anxious for your bed. 

I slept in the Yukon with Y and he was not a good bedfellow.

Nathan took the boys on a walk.  Y and I tried to follow but we are both out of shape.  He is a small shape and I am a big shape. 

37 weeks.  Good thing we went that weekend, now I am feeling pretty heavy and not up for camping.

Our Sweet Wesley and his lobster thing. ?

The boys are getting so big. 

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day daddy.

The boys all made cards for daddy.

We love love love our daddy and hope he had a great day.  

Y swims, Wes Last Day of Kinder.

Nate relaxing by the pool. Looks real comfy.
Big smile boy. He had so much fun. He thought he was real big because he could get in and out by him self.

He even decided to blow bubbles all on his own.

Mrs Douglas was the best. Wesley loved her this year. Hopefully Burton can get her in a year.

Here we are at the final concert. It was wonderful. I am about 34 weeks in this pic. Not much longer.

The video is Wesley's performance. He has big dreams. What a wonderful kid.

Today

*Poor Tyler he was sick today.  Slept on the couch for about 5 hours this morning.  Didn't have much energy.  Threatened to throw up all morning.  Didn't get around to it.  

*Got the striping taken off our new Yukon.  It came with some odd strips on the sides.  I had a friend tell me it looks like a computer nerd owns it.  Which isn't far off the mark.  (if you know me).  Last week we bought it and I had an audio guy come and install 3 screens and 6 head sets. I love it.  

*Trying to figure out how to have video games in the house with out the screaming.  Right now there are no video games.  I am still thinking about it.  

*Our little Y is so much fun.  He loves books and is always bringing me a book to read to him.  There is a Nativity book that he loves.  I sing a different Christmas song for every page.  He sings along.  So fun.  

*Love my boys, all of them.  Especially the biggest one.  Nathan is well, wonderful.

Camping with Dad

The Fathers and Sons, time honored tradition happened this last weekend. Nathan was extremely brave and took the oldest 4 boys. I am so proud of him. They did great and had a wonderful time.
Our next door neighbors Pat Abeita and his son Joseph went also and that is the reason I have pictures to show you. Thanks Pat!

I figure Nathan will be taking 4 next year and maybe in 2011 he will take Y. By then the boys will be so old. Ty will be 11, Oc 10, Wes 8, Burton 6, and Y 3. That is crazy. They are such fun boys. We are enjoying them so much. Every moment is special.

Brighton Holiday

We went down to Brighton on Thursday to stay the night. I wanted to go there because, characters in my books go there for holiday. So I had to check it out.
We walked alon the water and there was a Pier with a carnival at the end. We didn't go over to it. We wanted to see the town. But there it is.

It was by far the coziest room we had. The Royal York Hotel. The staff was very good to us and the room was great.

While walking around we found that we were hungry before dinner. So we popped into a place called Nandos for a morsel of something. The hot chocolate was so so so good.

This was the mural art that we found on one of the streets. We thought it was pretty awesome.

We were walking past this theater and 7 Brides for 7 Brothers was playing, so we got tics and went to the show. It was really fun. The lead was obviously Irish or Scottish, the western accent was a little off. But it was good. The theater was 200 years old.

Funny story about this dress. I got a really pretty top for my sister Amanda but I wanted to pretend that this was the top I got her. So I sent her the picture and told her that I got this for her. "It could be your new 1st date outfit" I said. She was a little worried but was trying to put on a brave face. Then I told her I was kidding. I don't know, it would get some attention. I should have got it for her.

One of the streets in Brighton. Makes me think of my characters there on holiday. Staying near the shore for their health.
