I'm Pregnant!!!!


Okay So with all this Blogging i forgot somehow to mention that I got Pregnant in January 09'. So I don't really have any pictures to document it but these two photo's are of things I find beautiful. Dark sunsets and Foggy hore frost days.And me becoming pregnant was beautiful I think. Jordan and I had been trying to get pregnant for about a year and in the month of January we were pleasantly surprised to find out we were to be expecting in September. I made a card with Naomi the day I found out and we gave it to him that night. It had something written to the effect of Naomi being so happy to be becoming a big sister. When I gave it to him it took a couple seconds to sink in then we we hugged and cried. It was one of the sweetest moments I ever had. So then we waited a bit to tell most people and then the race was on. I think about 2 weeks later Heidi found out she was pregnant (not planned). Then the race really was on. :)
We had a birthday Party afternoon where Kate incorporated all the different activities from all the kids birthday parties from the year. This was when they made their Batman masks and then had to go and kill the joker upstairs which i think led to a room full of candy. We all love Kate's creativity. :)


Here is another Kate moment (my sister-in-law) where she made cattails out of chocolate to top our brownies because the name of our camp is Cattail Camp.


Okay so this is another fun eventful day at Cattail Camp witht he obstacle course laid out by Heidi. We had to ride bikes over the dirt pile, jump through a hoop, then go over the mini slide, then jump through the inner tubes which then led to the beach were we had to put on some fancy attire and take a picture with the paddles in the canoe. Then we had to run to the trampoline and do three fancy jumps and then run back to the finish line (the dirt pile). It was very fun. I think Me and Cedar came in Second (Jordan first of course) note the fact that i was 7 months pregnant.

Okay so i don't know why it's sideways but here is me running trying to hold my belly up to make good time. :)

Oh and of course my sweet move on the tramp. Not so flattering though.

Cattail Camp (Gross camp) Begins and the race is on. Here are Naomi and Aneen ready and willing to conquer the race with a relaxing but stressful ride to the finish line. Stressful only because they love to hate each other.

Here are all the race participants. Jordan I think was working that morning so he couldn't participate, but it was fun.

Here is Liam passing us (for the second time) he kicked butt.

Kieran had a flat tire but he still pressed on what a trooper.


And Naomi decided sitting wasn't fun and started doing the race herself.

After the train ride we went to the zoo. The kids loved the animals and the Huge ice cream cones.
This Peacock was making noises and fluffing up his feather and going all crazy towards the other peacocks. It was pretty funny looking, but i love the beautiful feathers.
I love this little door into the discovery centre at the zoo.


Grandpa Abbott took the kids and I on a Train ride at the zoo. The kids loved it.

Naomi and her cheeky tongue. She was having a lot of fun on the beach at Nana's.
The poor frogs got tortured this summer.


Frogs are a definite fun at Nana and Papa Joe's. I think we had caught three huge ones this day and Naomi loved them.

Mataya and her Biker gang. Kayla, Sinead and Mataya were all taking turnson the three wheeler and their bikes at Nana's house. They loved it. I thinnkthe three wheeler had a lot of crashes this summer but they had fun. Luckily it didn't crash into the house or anything.

We were in the Canada Day Parade in Saratoga Springs, UT. It was a lot of fun. the kids got to hand out candy to all the kids on the side of the road as we drove by in our Five Star van. There was a couple guys on horse in front and then a couple cop cars, regular cars and then us and a fire truck in back.
