Idaho, Parades, and Baby Shoes

We've had a busy summer, and I can't believe it's half over! We got to go to Idaho and spend time with Grandpa and Grandma! The boys loved going on the pontoon (sp?) boat, jet skiing, and running through the sprinklers. Sam playing with the dry ice for the root beer

Today we went to the Spanish Fork parade with Jenni and Lizzie; our friends, the Jenson's, showed up too, and I have to thank Jake for helping the kids get candy and for taking them to the park. My kids have been pretending to be in the parade all day, playing drums, making fire truck sounds, riding horses, and of course, throwing candy....except for us it was actually hot wheels that were being thrown, until I made them think of another idea and it turned into little balls of toilet paper (gotta love it!). It's been a big day!

Sam's favorite float...of course!

Sam keeps his ears covered practically the whole time...just in case it's too loud

This is what the boys talked about all day...and did it with their Hot Wheels.

And finally, my VERY talented sister-in-law, Jenni, who I love so much, taught me how to make these really cute little baby shoes (thanks for the picture, Jenni). It feels like I'm going to be pregnant forever, with the heat of summer bearing down on us and I'm not due until December 5th, but I'm sure I'll make it!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We were really, really excited today to find out that our new baby will be a girl! I didn't know if I was going to survive the morning sickness this time around...but now that I'm finally through it, we are really looking forward to this new baby coming a few weeks before Christmas! Now we just need a name! Any suggestions????
