This Weekend...

The girls and I had a great time this weekend! Saturday we stayed home all day and planted the garden, took naps and did yardwork. It sounds boring but it was really fun...Hailee was a great help. Abigail had a great time playiing in the van while we worked.
We have planted zuchinni, tomatoes, corn, beans, spinach, cantelope, beets, pumpkins, broccoli and then we have another area where we planted strawberries. The yard already has apricot trees and raspberry bushes so I'm way excited and hope everything grows all right.
Now we just need to fence in the gardens so that the kids and Annie stop tramping through them, I'm getting tired of yelling NOOOOO!!! Everytime we are outside.
On Sunday, after church, Felisha came and picked us up and we went to Big Sandwash Resevoir. We had fun taking pics, playing in the water and watching as poor Abigail lost control and dived into the water on the boat ramp.


Felisha did grab her fast out of the water and took her to the truck to get her clothes off, change her diaper and dry her off and warm her up. The whole time she was saying, "cold! cold!". Even now as I write this blog, she is watching me put these pictures in and she is saying, "cold, mom!" Precious!



Dont worry, she survived and she wasn't traumatized by the whole event, actually, we all think that this child can't be traumatized. It's a little worrisome.

My pregnant belly...24 1/2 weeks...not much to it but I definitly feel the difference.

New Family Member

A few weeks ago, the girls and I were in Salt Lake and stopped by the Humane Society in Salt Lake to look at dogs to adopt. I have been wanting a dog for the girls and I for awhile and have been afraid to get one because of my allergies. My sister adopted a dog from the Humane Society a few weeks ago and she was happy with him she so we thought we would check it out. It didn't take us very long and we found Annie. Hailee immediately fell in love with her and we took her outside to spend a little time with her. She was great with the kids and she seemed to like me so, we adopted her!!!! She is an older black lab and is house broken, great with the girls and stays by our sides no matter what. She has been a great addition to our family and we are so happy to have her. I feel she was truly meant to be ours. They say that a dog chooses its owners and I think that we all did very well. She is a great comforter, protector, friend, playmate and companion. Thank you Humane Society!!!!

And just to let you all know, my allergies have been great with her and we really haven't had any problems!!
