Major Award

So this year I decided at the last minute to put Auni in the Baby Contest. My sister in law Aime' was entering her little girl who is 2 1/2 months younger than Auni. And then my aunt Shalana and cousin Britney talked me into it. Needless to say to my surprise, she won. It actually turned out to be fun because a few of my friend's kids one as well, and they have all the winners ride in the parade, so we got to ride with friends.

This is Auni the day of the contest eating her sucker that she got for participating.
And this her her with her cousin Tenley after their judging. (sorry I didn't get a full outfit picture, and check out how little hair she has compared to her younger cousin!)
And this is the morning of the parade, all the winners had to wear these T shirts. If you can't tell by the look on her face she was done with me taking her picture, because it took a few to get a decent one.

Carni Bums

This past weekend was Steel Days in American Fork. Growing up it was something we looked forward to all year! Yes, we were total carni bums, and my son is following right in our foot steps. He couldn't have loved it more, he rode ride after ride and wasn't scared of any of them, although he enjoyed the trucks the most. He only cried a few times and it was because I forced him to take a break to eat lunch and then again when I made him take a potty break. I know mean huh. And of course he was devastated when we went home, he balled the whole way.

Got Her!

She is walking more and more everyday! And her Daddy finally got her with the camera.

So, I'm Pregnant

Yes, it's true. Some of you may be thinking, how old is her baby again? And yes, if you refer to her lilypie, she is 11 months old. And yes to all of you mathematicians that means they will be 18 months apart. And yes again to those of you wondering if we know what birth control is. :) We weren't exactly planning on getting pregnant this soon. But due to a long story having to do with a false positive pregnancy test back in February, and in turn the removal of my IUD, here we are. Clint and I are ecxited and happy, it just doesn't seem real yet. I'll admit I'm a little nervous about having kids that close, but hey, it could be worse. Could be twins! And it's definitely not. I had to have an ultrasound to give me a due date, because my answer to the first question they ask when you call the Doctor's office to say "I'm pregnant" was, I haven't had one of those since November of 06. So no, I don't know how far along I am. Any way I wanted to wait a little longer to announce, so to speak, but I would be really embarrassed if I ran into anyone and they didn't know because you would think I was seriously out of shape.

Walking! (sort of)

So as I was packing the trailer to go camping on Thursday, I look back by the beds and Auni is walking down the hallway. She has taken a good 10 -11 steps at a time, but do you think she will do that for the camera? Oh no, that would be making it easy. So this is her taking like 2 steps. Until I get a better video this will have to do.

4th of July in Fish Lake

We spent our 4th of July weekend camping in Fish Lake with my family. We had a lot of fun despite being completely filthy. My family has a cabin there, but it is only two bedrooms and about 800 sq feet. Needless to say there is no way for all of us to stay there so we all took trailers and camped up in the UM Valley. But the guys did go get the antique fishing boat from the cabin and took it out for a few hours. They just have to take a sponge and bucket to bail the water out until the wood expands, it pretty funny to see all those big guys in that tiny boat. And yes that would be my brother Brian with the safari hat on, he is always playing the part.

Auni enjoyed some arts and crafts that my mom brought.

Clint fixed some excellent bacon and sausage.

We took the kids fishing in the creek by our camp, but it didn't last more than 5 min before Deeg was onto something else.
