Fathers and Sons

Because this is what happened when Erik tried to take Hunter to the stake Fathers and Sons campout . . . .

They decided to have their own campout in the dining room. We found a little tent at Ikea, and they had a blast. They had camping snacks (crackers), played games, and read stories.

This was probably the only time Erik actually slept. You see, we have an energizer bunny for a son. He never stops moving, even when he's sleeping. Erik was kicked, poked, and talked to all night long. It was a good thing daddy was a great sport!

Pirates and the Temple

We found a wonderful (although kind of scandalous) Pirate Festival. We had fun walking around looking at all of the elaborate costumes. Here are some of our favorites. This first one reminded me of "Smee" off of Hook.It truly was a pirate village. Every one was drinking "ale" and there were a lot of wenches (notice none of them made it into any of our pictures). Some had parrots and we even saw some real swords.

This next guy went all out. Notice the creepy eyes. I noticed them from a ways away. It totally creeped me out!

Later that day we made our way to Oakland to visit the temple and the Visitor's Center. We had a wonderful time walking around the temple grounds. It was so peaceful and exactly opposite the Pirate Festival.

Ready to be a big brother!

As I was washing the swing and the carseat to get them ready for our new little arrival, Hunter ran and grabbed his babies. He put one in the carseat and had me buckle it in, and then he put the other in the swing. Here he is rocking and bouncing his babies. He was very soft with both of them.


Not too long after the babies were buckled in Hunter ran to his room and found the bottle. He had me hand him one of his babies and fed it while watching one of his shows.
I think we're ready for the baby!

31 Weeks

I hit my 31 week mark this past Thursday. Everyone has been asking for an update, so here you go!

Muscles

Erik has been working out and was showing off to me. Hunter decided he wanted in on the action and started flexing too!

Our Friends

This week we were fortunate enough to have our very good friends come to visit. We had a blast doing everything together. We were so busy having fun that I only got these two pictures.

Ever since they left, Hunter has been asking for his friends. "Where are my friends?" Over and over. We are so lucky to have them for friends. We only wish that we could have had more time with them! We hope they come again soon!!

Bowling

Hunter was able to go bowling for the first time. He loved it!! He was pretty good, getting a 58 his first game! We'll have to go again soon!
