So this little baby is due 3 weeks from today. I am getting pretty uncomfortable, but I really am hoping that the baby waits until the week of the due date to arrive. Lots to do...you know that nesting instinct :-)
*Car Seat Ready - Check
*Newborn Clothes Washed - Check
*Pedicure - Check
*Haircut - Check
*Frozen Meals - Check
*Husband Very Ready for Nesting Instinct to be Done - Check
*Deep Cleaning of Every Single Room - Crazy Goal, Not Even Going to Get Close
*Potty Training Stevie - Desparately Trying to Check This Off
And the list could go on and on.
And check out this picture.
This is classic pregnant brain at work. I'm all excited because I actually got a birthday card in the mail on time for my nephew Drew. We get back from Bear Lake and the card is back in my mailbox with this note.
Anyway...we are taking guesses on the sex of this little one, the weight, and when he/she will arrive. Leave a comment if you want to join in on the fun.

Bear Lake
We were sooooo looking forward to our long weekend at Bear Lake. I have such great memories from going up there as a kid with family and friends. It was just as great this time, except for better because I got to watch my kids & hubby enjoy it too. All of the Draper clan had a great time together and we amazingly escaped major injuries and problems.

Taylor's Swimming Pool
It finally worked out where we could go to the pool in Tracie & Dave's neighborhood. We had been looking forward to the visit for sure and I have always been envious of the fact that her neighborhood has a pool. Amy, Kassidy, Natalie, Sara, Isaac, Colin, Tracie, and Taylor were all there with us.
I loved how the pools were set up and it was just very kid-friendly. The kids had a ball. Side note...I couldn't believe how fast my nephew Taylor is growing up. He kept up with the rest of the kiddos for sure. You could tell that he was on his own turf and was showing them all "his pool." So cute...

Sugar
I was looking through the pictures that I had taken recently of the kids. There were three sets of pictures that had to do with sugar - smores, cotton candy, and ice cream. Don't you remember as a kid how much fun it was and how exciting it could be to get a special treat? I can see that look on my kids faces in some of these pictures. Pure joy!
Jake and I went shopping one day and I rewarded him with an ice cream cone for being such a good buddy throughout the day. A few days later Caren and I took the kids to the Zions Bank birthday party. They were out of all food except for cake, cotton candy, and popcorn. A dream for all four of the kids :-) This last weekend Steve and I built a short-lived fire for the kids in the backyard so we could make smores.

One Strand of Hair
My girlfriend Crystal cuts and colors my hair. She has been messing with my thick head of hair for about 10 years now. Anyway...I was sitting in her chair in Heber on Saturday and she stopped the blow dryer and put it down so fast that I thought something was wrong. She grabbed a strand of my hair and pulled it out. "Gray!" I was proud and sad at the same moment.

Steve's Birthday
The kids and I surprised Steve at his work on Tuesday with gifts and balloons. It got even better because my parents along with Kace, Kassidy, Drake, Sierra, and Sara all came too to sing a great rendition of Happy Birthday. Steve was excited. We celebrated at night by going to dinner at Good Thymes. It was a good time together and as you can see from Steve's pic...the kids were a little loud. Luckily we were seated outside with only one other family in earshot.
Happy Birthday to Steve and Aunt Krissy!

Kassidy was baptized yesterday. Congratulations Kassidy...you looked so beautiful..and I am so happy you are my niece! Amy & Duff organized a party after...no pics to show...but it was great time.
Fourth of July
All of us enjoyed a weekend full of family and friends. Friday morning we went to Heber and had a BBQ with the Draper clan. Nikki and the kids were visiting and it was so good to see them. Jake and Stevie love to be with all of their cousins.
Water Fun in the Backyard
While Chase & Gracie were over this past week, we filled up the swimming pool for some water fun. The kids had an absolute blast moving water from the pool to the trampoline. I think they drained the whole pool with many many trips back and forth. So many belly laughs...
