We all need time in Nature

We went to the family cabins in Payson this weekend. It

was so relaxing.

A dirt covered face, the best sign your child is having fun outdoors!

You would think we need to be taught child labor laws but Greyson just wanted to "putter" with Daddy. Ben raked up leaves and Greyson was so excited to help. He picked up piles and helped haul them off the decks, he also had a broom and helped sweep. It was so cute. We tried to get him to play with a ball or sticks but he wanted to make sure all the leaves were taken care of first.

Me finally reading a book on hypno-birthing. It's about time since I'm due in 20 something days.

We spent almost an hour throwing rocks into water. There is something so soothing about it and Greyson loved it.

One Tuckered Child

I really shouldn't be allowed to go out at this size!

**For those that want an update I went to the doctors this week and blood pressure and everything was fine. I even lost a few lbs! So apparently I'm still good for another few weeks. It relieved a lot of pressure to know I might be saved from bed rest. Life is good.

I can't believe I'm actually posting this but here I am about to pop!

You know you feel big but when you see it in a picture it's a little scary.

This is the hardware ranch in Logan, UT

You ride sleighs out in the middle of a herd of Elk

They had about 450 there today. This one was catching

up on some rest. Greyson was terrified of the horses but

seemed unaffected by the elk.

What are you looking at?

As if you don't feel big enough when you're this pregnant. . .

check out the sign above the girls bathroom.

We drug Collin and Michon along with us. They are so photogenic it's not fair but we love them anyway.

Last week Greyson and I also went with Brenda and Reagan to the Aquarium. It's one of my favorite places to go because it's small and we can be in and out in an hour. It's also cheap and only 10 minutes from the house, you can't beat that for entertainment.

Brenda and I talked a couple of weeks ago and realized that both of us are really lonely and don't feel like we have many friends. I think sometimes you get in these ruts and don't realize that other people feel the same. Anyway I'm going to drag her with me this summer as I find ways to get out of the house she may wish she'd never told me that.

Not Again!

Ugh so I just got back from the doctors office today. Apparently my blood pressure is really high. It caught me off-guard because it has been so low this pregnancy and we haven't had any problems. With Greyson I was already on bed rest at this time. Anyway I've been feeling really sick lately and as the Doctor went through the symptoms -yep- I have them all. Anyway I have to take it easy this week and then start going every week to see if I'll end up on bed rest again. They apparently won't do medicine here they will just induce you early because that's the surefire fix. So now I have a horrible headache and I don't know if it's from the blood pressure or from the stress that now I have something to worry about! She seems really healthy and is due in 6 weeks so I figure I've just got to keep her in there for another 4 and then she should be healthy. Have I mentioned I hate being pregnant? (ok I'm really excited to have this baby but I really wasn't meant to birth children- my body rebels)
