Why do I do this every time!!

Yesterday we spent the day at the new washington rec. pool. It's the largest indoor pool in Utah. It has a lazy river, a big slide, and several little toys to play with. the kids had a blast. the side walls are open to the outside so you can enjoy the sun. Here is Lydia, trey, brielle, marcus, bryson, and payton

Here is Cam going to town on our backyard.


Last Friday night we went to the main street splash park. they showed Ice Age outside at about 930 when it got dark. it was really a fun thing to do with the kids. It was our first time to the splash park. I had no idea it was so fun. again the kids loved it. This is Payton sitting on a block of ice. the kid who sat on it the longest won. his dad kept talking football strategies to keep him distracted-it worked he won.

There are finally fun things to do in st george to say cool. it is too bad none of them are closer to us. We wish we had the washington rec center near us.

Trey is obsessed with his scooter. It really is such a fun thing to watch because he is so small and goes like he is 10. If you ask him how old he is he will sometimes say 5. When we were at westgate Chris was telling the kids that they had to be 5 to be in the hot tub and then he asked Trey how old he was and he had a little smile on his face as he said 5.

This is my fourth pregnancy now and you would think that I would learn my lesson about wishfully thinking my due date is earlier. this one I have justified because the last two were early and well this one should be even earlier-right? Well according to my dates, my due date isn't until July 20th, but the ultrasound said the 13th and I have been saying two weeks earlier than that-which would put me at less than two weeks away. Cam and I did our usual stop sign walk today. We are still doing six miles but I have slowed down a ton. I am so anxious to be able to run it again. the kids ran 3 of it today to get ready for our 5K on saturday. i am sure I will be walking most of it-mostly because it looks really funny when I do run and people look at me like I am crazy. anyway I had a reality check today and thought I really could have 4 weeks left and I told people 4 weeks left 3 weeks ago. I do it every time. However today was a full day on my feet and I am feeling some contractions but they keep going away. I have never been induced and I really like going into labor on my own-it is fun and really this is what I enjoy most about the pregnancy-the unknown delivery date. it is so exciting to actually go into labor. I could have an independence day baby or we could be mid July. i can't imagine me going past the 13th even if my real due date is the 20th-see there I go again. I even say with each pregnancy that i am going to just say the real due date and then everyone will be surprised when I go early but I don't know why I can't. anyway, june has been so much less crazy than May was. We are tearing out our backyard because we can't seem to keep the grass alive and now we know why. it was growing on cement. Well not real cement but the ground was nearly impossible to even break with big equipment. Cam finally got a Jack hammer that is made to break through cement and it did help. we are putting in a residential splash pad, a small putting green, and small underground tramp and getting rid of the wood chips and putting fake grass. it is sad that we moved into this house only two years ago with a fully finished backyard and we are already redoing it. Oh well, we are excited and hope it will be fun. I would like to get it done before the baby comes. Also, after 6 years of working i am hiring someone to do my job. She moves here from Chicago on sunday, so I really do need at least a couple of weeks to train her. i still plan on being involved after the baby but she will be able to get a lot more done and I can worry about being a mom. I hope I am not getting too excited and trying to make something happen that isn't right with her but I do feel good about her. Next week i will be checked by the doctor so we will have a better idea on when this baby really is coming. As for now, I am trying to find motivation to clean and organize.
