Congratulations!!

My sister, Kandra, just had her baby boy early this afternoon. Baby Dawson Heath was born at 12:11 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 1 1/2 oz. and was 21" long. I'm told he's healthy and both mommy and Dawson are doing well. We are so excited to see him tomorrow when they get home from the hospital. I'll try to remember my camera so I can take some pics and post them later!! I have to admit that I'm a little jealous that she has her little baby here to hold and cuddle with, but I'm mostly relieved that it's her and not me because I have too many things to finish before Baby Girl comes. :0) We love you, Kandra, and we are so happy that everything went well and that Dawson is here safe and sound!! Congrats again!!

Nebeker reunion

I just realized that I haven't posted about the 1st ever Nebeker reunion. We decided that our family is finally big enough to have our own reunion with Mom and Dad and all the kids and grandkids. It was so much fun! We camped down near Vernal, enjoyed the sun and water the first full day and then tried to stay dry the 2nd day. It was also my mom's birthday so the grandkids put their handprints and names on an apron for her. It was so cute and the kids LOVED the special project for Grandma. Of course, Grandma thought it was the best thing ever! :0)
You have to love this 1st picture. At first glance you just see us all chillin' by the lake, then if you look closer you see my lovely brother behind us just being himself. Thank you, Lance! :0)
This was my favorite activity. Taking the kids on canoe rides. Much cooler on the water! ;0)

You have a little sand on your face, Austin! :0)
Here's the apron. It says, "Best Grandma Hands Down"
All the grandkids as of May 2009
Silly boy. I think he just got done peeing in the bushes and he thought that was the best thing ever!! :0)

Steadman's

My friends have had their pictures up from this family outing for a very long time now, oh well. Better late than never, right?


Anyway, there is a very fun, family-owned place about 10-15 minutes away from us called Steadman's. The family actually built waterslides, a zip line, fire pit, volleyball court and more in their backyard (it's a very big backyard) and opened it up to the public as long as they make reservations. It's a great place for some fun. The weather wasn't the best, but it actually didn't rain (one of the two days the entire month of June that it didn't rain here) so it worked out wonderfully!

Bri on the zip line

Austin and I had to join in on the fun.
Paige went down by herself after the first time and even brought the tube up by herself. She did switch to a smaller tube after this trip up with the big tube, though! :0)










Just some random pics from June

My camera was missing for a couple days. I finally asked Paige if she knew where it was and she said, "Yeah, Austin hid it". When I looked at the pictures, I noticed that there were about 200 pictures that I did not take, but I can guess who did. Can you?!?
Notice the jammies. Yeah, we thought they were asleep! Who knows what time they actually fell asleep. Oh well!







I had some time to play with Paige's hair one day and this is what we did. Definitely a hair-do for when you have some time to sit and do it. It was so cute, though!!
Paige and Austin wanted a little photo shoot. They, of course, had to have one with a silly face. I love how Austin was looking at Paige to see how to make the same face! :0)

Silly boy!
How is that comfortable, Austin?!?

Has it seriously been almost 2 months?!?

Time sure has been flying the closer I get to D-day! This is both good and bad. It's good because I'm definitely getting tired of being pregnant (only 2 more weeks, hopefully), but bad because I have so many things to get done before Baby Girl arrives. At least I have our reunions and the Stake Primary Activity Day done and over with (both were so much fun, by the way). Now I have my SIL's baby shower on Saturday and I think that's pretty much it. Then baby can come any day she'd like! :0)

Anyway, I'll try to post several little posts so you aren't too overwhelmed by all the pictures. Here it goes.

The beginning of June, our fam went to Boise for our nephew, Max's, baby blessing. It was so fun seeing him again and meeting our other nephew, Sam, for the first time! It will be fun adding a little girl to the mix soon! ;0) Here are a few pics from our time there.
Bri taking a nap with "Sumo Sam". Can you believe those cheeks?!?

Dan's wife, Rachael, had to try this little spinner out. Looks like fun, but I wasn't about to try it!! :0)
Paige has really gotten good at the monkey bars this summer. In this picture she still needed someone to help her the entire time. Now someone just has to be nearby to help "if needed".
Our sweet boy, playing peek-a-boo. That smile gets me every time!
While the moms and kids were at the playground, the "big boys" played home run derby. Later the little kids had to have a turn. Austin LOVED it and kept telling us that he was a "baseball guy". (Of course, when he had a football, he was a "football guy".) :0)
The Adair clan at Max's blessing
It's always so fun being with cousins!!
Paige and Ashley really hit it off this trip. (I didn't realize how bad Paige's bangs were until I looked at these pics again. We did cut them as soon as we got home!) :0)


Our little family. This is the only picture that all of us were smiling and Austin wasn't picking his nose. Lovely, isn't it?!?
