Summer nights!

What a fun weekend! The weather was so awesome and it finally started to feel like summer. Today it is rainy and gloomy but I think these rainy days are numbered. Besides, we'll be greatful for all this moisture when the garden starts to grow! On Friday we went to the green house to get some things for the garden. Then on Sat we got up early and got started on the planting. I was contracting pretty bad so Chad put me in a chair and made me direct the putting in of the garden. I was sitting in direct sunlight, in shorts, for the first time of the year. I got FRIED. Like a lobster. I don't know what I was thinking. I put plenty of sunscreen on my kids and forgot about myself. I'll do better from here on out. Promise. We went over to the neighbors for some fun in the pool and a little BBQ. I love these summer days!! Mothers day was also awesome. The elders took over Primary so we all could go to Relief Society. It was SO nice not to have anything to worry about on Sunday. What a stress reducer. Chad and the kids made me a darling card and the kids made me some jewelry which I happily wore to church. Chad also made me a CD of some of my favorite songs and he took me out for dinner while my mom was here to watch the kids. All in all it was an amazing weekend. I'm so excited to get this baby here so we have something else to take pictures of!





35 wks. I can't believe we've made it this far.

Super heroes!




The water used to fill the pool was straight mountain run off so it was so cold! The kids didn't mind until they got out.

Hope the sunburn gets feeling better soon! Yes, let's get together. How's this weekend for you? I am free Friday during the day, anytime Saturday, and anytime on Monday. We could do lunch, dinner, or movie. Let me know. Ps you're tiny.

Love the pics, SO jealous of your nice hot weather... I haven't even broken out the swim-suit yet b/c it's still too cold even when the sun's out!!

So do you love to be the perfect house wife. Tons of lawn, sprinklers, garden....jeez! I love reading about your family. You are such a good mom. For some reason I loved seeing you and Lyd paint a dresser. It was so cute. Cant wait until baby Lordon gets here. WE think you need to name him that. Lordon Staheli. Such a strong name.
