They came... they filled up the basement... they left


The entire fam damly showed up on Friday night. Everyone that is except Russ and Morgan. It is the greatest thing in the world to have a basement with a huge room so that you can say to 8 unruly kids... everyone grab a blanket and a pillow and go downstairs and shut the door and be quiet. Yeah right, look at them.








On Saturday morning all 15 of us got all gussied up for an entire day at Seven Peaks. Most of us took full advantage of the slides, but some of us floated around and around in the lazy river and got completely fried on only one side of her body. Which later, was evened out by putting a big ole gut in the hole of a raft. GENIUS!

Here are the girls looking ever so amazingly HOT. Mom was complaining how she hasn't taken a picture with the three of us in a very long while and so naturally, she chose the time when we were looking our very best. At least there was no pinata anywhere in sight.



Quincey has anxiety about almost everything and yet she does stuff like this. I just don't get it.




They clean up pretty well. Brayden will want me to mention that Quin had on very high heels.

We had such a great, short time together. Our last summer hurrah. Next event... The baby blessing. We will all be much cooler then and at least one of us will be less weighty. Can't wait.



Sometime during the day, Raleigh got a call that the crib was ready to be picked up and so on the way home, we threw that in the back of Papa's truck and it took Raleigh all of 8 minutes to set it up. It is so darling.
Baby update... "Little Bit" is really just that... she has decided to stop growing for some reason. The doctor says it is either because she is just going to be a little tiny baby or because I am losing amniotic fluid. In any case, I have to have another ultrasound to determine if we are just taking a break from growing or if I need to be on BED REST. (Yeah, right like that will happen.) The diagnosis for now is drink lots of water. That I can do. No more Diet Dr. Pepper for now. Damn it!!! How will I get through the day?

All I am going to say about Little Bit is this... like mother, like daughter. She is just going to be a whisp of a girl like her tiny little hardly looks pregnant in a baithing suit at the water park mother. How annoying!!

you and kori were in my dream last night. we ran into each other at a grocery store in layton of all places. i really wanted to stop and talk to you guys but i had misplaced my wallet and was frantic...awesome dream eh?

seven peaks looks like fun. i'm sure it was fun to be all together. do you have all your kids with you for the summer?

i was telling lindsay and ali about your nursery and how darling it is! i'm still in shock someone can do that. i'm sure my lines would be all over the place. looks like way too much math for me to get that cute pattern even!

You look so great--I can hardly even tell you're pregnant in those Seven Peaks pictures! And we have almost the exact same crib--mine just has different feet. How funny! I hope you don't have to go on bedrest, I cannot imagine how bad that would stink. Well, good luck with the ultrasound and we're almost there!!:)
