Through the eyes of a six and seven year old.

 I loaded my small camera's pictures onto my computer, and I found some doozies! My kids must have hijacked the camera and had a hay day. Oaklyn must have been the photographer while Con Man was the model.

 This one has a bunch more random shots. How funny.

Pretty funny to see the world through the eyes of my six and seven year olds for a few minutes! Fun.

Our happenings!

Londyn started dance two weeks ago. It was a HUGE disaster. In fact, I thought the first week was a fluke because she was sooo excited to start. So, we tried it another week. She screamed and cried the second week too.

So, we will try again in six months or so. I was bummed. She sure looked cute though.

We took the kids swimming this weekend, and they had a blast! I love how warm it still is in St. George! Dan is one of the kids when it comes to stuff like this. Me?...I'd rather sit on the side of the pool and read.

Things are going good with baby number four. I have an ultrasound this Friday, and I'm excited. Those are always fun.  I am more than halfway done, but I'm pretty darn huge. I'm pretty self conscious already about it. BAAAA. I have been asked TWICE already how close I am to my due date. It is embarrassing to say I'm only 21 weeks. I'm more emotional these days, so I'm sure I'm just being sensitive.

On a lighter note...All Things Thrifty is going soooo good! I am quite proud of Dan and I. A.T.T. exceeded 6100 readers this weekend. This is the amount of people that read the site from their e-mail. Then, I have about 3,100 different people that come to the site every day. Dan got his first "how to" phone call at his office the other day! Funny. We are keeping busy, and have a few projects in the works.

Thank heaven for Dan. One of my neighbors made the comment to me this weekend that I am lucky to have a husband like him because most husbands would NOT help their wives with projects like Dan does. I am VERY aware of how much Dan helps me, and there is no way that All Things Thrifty would be as successful with out his expertise. I'm lucky to have him to go to when I have an idea. He's REALLY good at figuring out how to make my visions a reality!

Here are a couple other highlights of what is going on right now:
*I am enjoying being home this semester, and I can honestly say that it has been a relief to not be teaching right now.
*We are in FULL Halloween mode, and have already started decorating!  YAY!
*Naming this baby might be the hardest one yet. Darn.
*Our backyard project was suppose to be started, but things haven't worked out on the money front. Having this baby is EXPENSIVE, so, we may not get done as quick as we wanted. (This is the part where I wish I would have taught classes...that extra mula would come in handy...but our lives would be mass chaos).

As always we are staying busy. Things are good, and we are very blessed. I'm looking forward to October, and it will be a busy, eventful month!

Fish Lake 2010!

I am absolutely exhausted, but since I was sitting at the computer, I decided to force myself to quickly post some of the cute pictures from this weekend. We went to Fish Lake, and we had a lot of fun. The kids ran ragged...got super dirty...and LOVED every minute of it.

Just check out the dirt on Londyn's face...it speaks for the entire weekend. I can't tell you how many times I washed her face!

Here is Oakey relaxing on the four wheeler! Such a crack up!

Here is my Mom and Connelly relaxing in the beautiful meadow while we were flying kites!

Here is Uncle Jason...my kids have love/hate relationship with their Uncle Jase. They love him...but then he starts telling them that they have to come to his house for a week and they kind of freak out. Check out Ashton's hair. It is soooo blond and super curly...love him!

Here's the star of the weekend. Sure love this kid. We haven't gotten to see him much for the past two months, but it was great to spend the weekend together. LOVE, love, love him. Isn't he handsome!?!?

Addie is flying her kite higher and higher. We had so much fun trying to figure out the "best" strategies of flying.

 Grandpa and Con Man getting ready to fly their kite!

Here's my Nat. Love her.

And Aubs...great as ever. Hopefully they will end up in So. Utah so they'll be close to us again!

My cousin Amber snapped a picture of some of us (Adrian and her family had already left) :(.

We had a blast...but my back is ready to KILL me for sleeping on an air mattress for three nights. I think it was a combination of pregnancy, sharing the mattress with Oaks and Con, getting up to use the bathroom, and the cold. It got down to 20 degrees some of the nights! COLD for my St. George bones!

All in all we had a blast. I wish I would have taken more pictures.
