Two Weeks!!!!
Okay, so I know everyone is probably getting sick of my periodic count down, but wholy Cow, I'm not that far away! I may go over which will make my counting down pointless, but either way I'm getting closer! Wish me luck for a normal, healthy delivery. I'm really wanting to avoid another C-section if I can help it. The only thing is I have to go 100% on my own. No inductions! Yeah me. I need all the luck and crossed fingers I can get though. I hope all is well with everyone too, now that Summer break is here. Where did that time go?

Memorial Weekend
So as most of you know Brad has been wanting a certain toy for quite some time now. Well he finally got his toy and couldn't wait to take it out and get it dirty. He had also been planning on going to Beaver Mountain for this particular weekend in hopes that I wouldn't go into labor. Lucky for me I didn't); 
So here is a picture of our new toy. It's the blue one with the roll bars. It's a lot bigger in real life. Brad couldn't wait to see if it would fit through the narrow trails of back country Beaver Mountain.
We successfully made it! We went on an excursion with Aaron, Lisa and their friends Eric and Dallas and of course the girls all strapped in the back of our Rhino.
There is this cute little lake completely hidden deep in the trees just above the cabin property.
The girls were having so much fun they fell asleep.
One of the projects Brad had in mind while we were up at the cabin, was to replace a rope swing that hangs from a gigantic pine tree in the back of the cabin.
So being the boys that these guys are, they worked on a little plan to get Brad safely to the top of this tree and he would work on knotting the new rope so a swing could safely hang from the branches he so delicately scaled.
I'm just glad Brad got down safe since there was really no way I was going to win at talking him out of climbing this tree. Here are the girls playing in the snow with Dallas.
I think poor Dallas had had it by the end of the day with the girls wanting her to do everything with them. Sorry Dallas! I hope we didn't scare you guys too bad away from having kids.

Happy Mother's Day!!
I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day! My day started with homemade Waffles by Brad. They were super yummy and absolutely perfect. Then of course we had to hurry and get ready to go to church by 11am. The only thing that may not have been quite perfect was the fact that Brinly was too shy to go up and sing with rest of the primary kids. I didn't want to force her to go up but I was a little bummed. The rest of of the children looked and sounded great though! Maybe next year. We ended church with the traditional flowers being passed out by the youth to all qualified mothers. Those are always fun to get. Brad and I enjoyed a nice quiet afternoon watching the Jazz game while the girls all had a two + hour nap. I called my mom to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and then we went over to Brad's parents house where all the guys pitched in to make dinner for a few of us moms. 
That was nice not to have to cook or clean up (the one day a year that I don't have to). Dinner was absolutely wonderful by-the-way guys! We proceeded into the living room and exchanged gifts for all the moms. Brad surprised me with this picture which he put some time of his own and a little of his crafty self went into it as well. I was very impressed! Thank you honey. He also gave me some sconces to go with a picture of the temple that he got me for Christmas. When I get that hung I'll show what those look like. Over all it turned out to be an awesome Mother's Day, thanks to my Husband who makes it that way. I Love you, Brad!

Backyard Catastrophy
So we had a little issue yesterday that had to do with the main pipe for our sprinklers. I happened to go out back cause the girls wanted to play with some bubbles. 
Next thing I knew I was starring at a mound of grass that had been lifted from it's roots by some massive amount of water. I called Brad to tell him that maybe a sprinkler pipe broke and told him of this mound. I don't think my telling him did much because obviously pictures don't do this "thing" justice.
Within an hour of discovering the first mound a second one had formed and more water had flooded our backyard.
Now for those of you who know how wide our backyard is these pictures only show roughly half of our backyard. Luckily only this half got flooded and not the other side because who knows what would have happened. (House flood???) By the time I actually took these pictures I had been instructed on turning off the main water flow to our sprinklers and this mound you see dropped about six inches or so.
Once again these pictures don't do this mound justice, but hopefully you get the idea of our excitement yesterday.
Thanks to Brad (who happended to get off early), my brother-in-law Aaron, and our neighbor James Dotson (who after work at 5:30pm was able to bring a small pump to pump the water out to the street) we have been able to atleast start the process of drying it out. Thank goodness our neighbors yard didn't get too much water in their yard. I really don't want to imagine what could have happened had I not atleast discovered it when I did. I only wished I would have known what to do sooner. Oh well!

So Sorry!!!
So I'm super sorry I haven't kept my blog updated. I seem to think that I need pictures to give me an excuse to post but I know I don't. So for those of you who are wondering what's going on with my pregnancy, everything seems to be on the up and up so far. I am counting down the last five weeks. If everything stays good then we'll just be taking things as they happen. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get through the last five weeks a little quicker? Oh well, as long as I'm feeling good for the most part, I shouldn't be complaining.
