Self-explanitory!
Left forearm with his hand over his face... probably trying to suck his thumb!
Cute little baby feet! They are crossed, one over the other.
Baby stender's profile. He was lying on his back. The dark part in his body is his little heart!

These are some of my girls that I had as campers. They loved it that I'm preggers and were so sweet to let me sleep when I needed to. They took good care of me!
Randi Jacobsen and I. She's a senior this year at HLA and such a dear!
These crazy girls got dressed up in bright, tacky 80's clothes for the Counselor Program. All the counselors did a rendition of "Joyful Joyful" from Sister Act 2. It was so great!
Okay, we finally are home and getting settled and so I thought I'd start with a picture of yours truly. It's a self-taken-photo so don't mind the background and the camera.
Just a quick update... we're out in Pennsylvania at Tuscarora helping with Leisure Week (family camp) and Teen week. It's going really well. We're all exhausted because we're in charge of the kids groups during the morning and evening sessions. Especially me. I'm tired anyways but add 18 3-5 year olds and I'm spent. But the week is almost over and then we jump right into Teen week. Yikes. I'm ready to come home cuz this July has been a blur...quite the adventure. I had a doc appt the day that we left to come out here and everything is normal and looking good. I'm still in the 'fat' stage right now where my clothes are getting too tight but you can't really tell that I'm preggers. So, I'm hoping that I just start popping one of these days. I'll post a pic soon! Love you all.
Glacier was AMAZING!! It was heartwarming to me to be in the mountains again and I loved it. There was a little bit of concern about Bears at the Rising Sun Campground where we stayed but we were fine and we kept everything in the van when we weren't around or when we were sleeping. It was a little chilly up there too so the last night Em and I zipped our sleeping bags together and we were much warmer! We went for a little hike to St. Mary falls. The whole two days we were there, the weather was perfect. We were told that we missed the sleet and snow and freezing rain by 3 days. Yikes! We drove up to Logan's Pass the first day but the road west of that was closed for road construction. Luckily it opened up the day that we had to leave so we got to drive the whole Road to the Sun. SO BEAUTIFUL!! I would love to go there again
We had an awesome time camping on our way out to Seattle. We made our first stop at the Downstream Campground in Fort Peck, Montana. Very nice!
We are in Seattle right now and its fabulous! The weather has been perfect. We drove here from Fergus over 3 days and stopped in Glacier National Park to camp. It was wonderful! Then we made it to Seattle on Saturday. We've seen some friends from Hillcrest and we went to church in Marysville which was awesome. Today we've been spending the day downtown Seattle and we hit Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square and other things. We went for a sailboat ride on Puget Sound and it was absolutely PERFECT!! I'll have to post pics soon. Now we've met up with Jill ( a great friend from Hillcrest that Wayne went to school with) She's so awesome and she's been showing us around. We're going to have a bbq with some of her friends. It seriously is awesome here....the weather, the mountains, the cool atmosphere, the cute shops, all the different peeps...its so cool. I could definately see us living here some day. The only downfall is everything is so EXPENSIVE. The cost of living is so high and to buy a house out here would cost us an arm and a leg and more. Yikes...its crazy. Anyways, I've gotta go... peace out for now!
All the kids!

It's so fun to have all the kids together. They are a hoot. I love hearing little Nate's voice. He talks so much. They are all growing up so fast. I can't even believe it. Pretty soon there'll be one more cousin in the group! Fun times. We're having a great time all together. It's a little crazy at times, but so fun! (Mom and Dad, we wish you were here with us.)
My sister Heather and her family come today! Whoo hooo! I'm so pumped. They live far away and we don't get to see them very often. The last time I saw the whole family was at my wedding. Heather and Kalle came to visit in March and that was so fun! We're going to have a great week.
We also have our first guests staying with us this weekend. Two good friends Janet and Linda from Calgary are here for a few days. It's been so fun having them around! I love having people over and I'm so glad we are able to do that now. It's just the best. I'll be sure to post pictures of this weekend and this week!
There is so much to do in the whole moving process. I'm overwhelmed. I thought we didn't have that much stuff but in fact we do. We accumulated so much over the last year. Ahhhh. Little by little it will get done. I guess everything seems so tiring being preggers. I just sometimes don't have any energy to do anything. Yikes. But I'm thankful that I haven't felt sicky at all...no ralphing for me. Whoo hoo! Well..better get back at it.
