The Last Few Weeks

I've been working on keeping life more simple lately. We have been spending a lot of time reading, playing in our backyard, taking naps, working on projects and spending time as a family. We went camping last weekend with my brother in Southern Utah. My cousin's Grandfather owns a trout farm in Southern Utah, so we went down and went fishing, 4-wheeling, swimming and roasted marshmallows over the fire. It was really fun.
 Barry took Julian on a 4-wheeler ride. He was really excited to go but was terrified during the ride.

 Tennyson & Barry 4-wheeling... Tennyson loved it the whole time.

 Isn't he cute?

 Family picture... not super flattering one of me, my swimsuit is too big and you can't really tell that I am 28 weeks pregnant. Oh well... 
 Julian climbed all the way up to the ledge where the big boys were. This is my cousin Nick (standing) and Julian with another friend of Barry's.

 Tennyson had a great time trying to hold on to the fish.
 Tennyson & Julian got Spiderman fishing poles from Uncle Barry and they were attached from the moment they saw them.

 I told Tennyson to "put his pole in the water" so he did. :) It scared all the fish away.
I just think this is a cute picture.
Julian has been begging for me to make this robot cake. It wasn't as cute as the one in the magazine, but the boys thought it was cool.
Last night Julian said "Mommy, can we have a Julian Tennyson Mommy date? With a fort and treats and a movie?" So when we got home from aerobics today I set up a fort, made lunch, got some chips and treats and we sat down to watch Megamind. I fell asleep about 20 minutes in and  when I woke up at the end, both of the boys were asleep. It was a fun day.
