Lots of exciting things are happening around our house right now...all leading up to the craziest week of the year.
The house is almost all ready, clothes and car seat are ready to go....and now all we need is the baby! We keep hoping she will come early so that everything won't be so crazy but she seems to be pretty comfortable right where she's at! It seems like she is taking so long to get here, according to Aubri, "man, you have been pregnant forever!" I guess that just means she is getting bigger and stronger in preparation for her big debut! We are sure excited to see her!!!!
And, on that very same due date, Spencer and Jenny start their first day of school. Spencer is going to be in first grade and Jenny is entering the big world of Kindergarten. They get to start it all at a brand new school this year and I have to admit, if I was a kid I would just be excited for the new playground...it is pretty cool! Grandma was a big help and took the kids school shopping today in Idaho Falls so after today they will be already for school, hooray!!! We are ALL very excited for school to start!!!!
We will keep you updated on everything that happens during the next few weeks and hopefully we will have some fun pictures to post soon!!!!

The End of Summer...
We have had a very fun summer...even though we haven't gone anywhere we sure have had a lot of visitors.
Mom and Len came up in July to run a half marathon. We were so proud of them, they made great time and they made it all the way through! We had lots of fun and ate great food and Len taught Derek how to make some excellent steaks...It really pays to have a chef in the family!
DJ and stepbrother Nick came up too. It was fun to see them and I think that the kids just about drove them nuts! We made yummy s'mores with Reeses on them(totally Aubri's idea) and they were excellent!
Aubri, Shawn and their kids have been up here a lot. The kids had lots of fun playing in the swimming pool, messing up the house, fighting, and thinking Aubri kidnapped us by taking us on a ride "out of town.." Jenny was pretty freaked out! But out of all of that I think the kids are getting used to each other and now they play together pretty great!!! Spencer and Jenny are looking forward to them coming up again soon, particularly because they are holding their tooth brushes for ransom!
Cari, Bekka and mom came up for a wedding. It was lots of fun to see them too. Bekka is getting so big and she is such a cute girl, just like her mom. And also, just like her mom, she has quite a temper ;) It's great to see everyone have kids like them!
We had lots of fun at the fair. Derek was a great daddy and took the kids on all the rides that they wanted so finally got their full share of the rides this year. The kids got their cotton candy and made it last for 2 days so that they could savor it. I got my caramel apple covered in peanuts so I was pretty happy too! And Derek ended the night with a big Mtn Dew!
