Slip n Slide
We got out the slip n slide for the first time this summer. I don't think Jackson had ever been on one and it has been a couple years since Harrison did it. It was hilarious! They didn't get the concept of running and sliding. At first they just army crawled on it. Then instead of sliding after running Jackson would jump and land on his knees. Harrison would run the length of it then jump into the "pool" at the end.

I had an AMAZING night!
Lucy is 2 months old today and last night she slept from 9 pm to 6 am!!! When she woke at 6, she only woke enough to eat, she didn't even open her eyes, then she slept again until 9! To make things even better my early bird Jackson slept until after 7. What a GREAT night!
On August 2 Damon blessed Lucy. It was a beautiful blessing. He blessed her to have a good relationship with the Lord and with her mother... how great is that?! Grammy made her a beautiful blessing dress and Aunt Stacy crochetted her blanket. Here are some pics.
The last week of July we spent at Lake Powell. We had an awesome trip with Damon's family. Harrison and Jackson were little fish and overcame some fears. They loved playing in the sand, riding in the boats and jet skis, and swimming. Even though they were scared they went tubing and Jackson even got on the knee board. When we got there Harrison was very afraid of the water. He was fine once he got in and could swim around with his life jacket on but getting in was a process. By the end of the trip when he leaned too far over and fell in, it didn't even phase him. I was proad of myself for doing so much with Lucy only 6 weeks old. I went on the knee board, jet skis, participated in our "Amazing Race" and swam to a huge rock in the lake.

Damon started this tradition a few years ago and it is now something we all look forward to. Our last Lake Powell trip Geoff and I won the race so we were in charge of planning it. Jenna took Geoff's place and we planned the race. We even did a short version for the kids. They had so much fun and Jackson still talks about the "trophy" he won. The kid's "trophys" were sand buckets with toys inside. We also did "booty" prizes for everyone. We gave every one shorts that said AMAZING race BOOTY prize on the back. The words amazing and booty are big so it looks like it says "amazing booty". It was a fun trip but I don't have any pictures because I forgot my camera... arrggh!
Last week my Aunt Connie sent costumes for my kids. I ran errands all day and went to many stores with Batman and Spiderman! My favorite was Harrison's clothes all bunched up and sticking out under his costume.

Prego Pictures and Harrison's 4 year pics
My very talented mother in law took these pictures before Lucy was born. It's quite a challenge getting two very active boys to stand and pose and smile just the right way. We got some funny pictues and also some great ones. Thanks Peggy!

Lucy's room
This is my Lucy's room. I LOVE it! My mom helped me with the sewing. Damon took the boys and my dad on the fathers and sons campout and my mom spent the night and we sewed! It was so much fun. My mom made the bumper and bedskirt and I made the curtains, pillow and a matching quilt. Damon's sister Lisa came over with two friends and spent a day painting. They did an amazing job.Thursday, June 18, 2009

Baseball
We signed Harrison and Jackson up for a 6 week baseball course. It was a lot of fun watching and playing with them. Jackson particularly loved it, Harrison... not so much. It was a good experience and the boys were so dang cute trying to play!
Look what I caught!
My grandparents recently moved into a new house after living in theirs for over 50 years! They had a big St. Patrick's day party with lots of family and friends. Their house is beautiful and the party was a lot of fun. The boys loved fishing in their back yard and riding in the boats. It might be the first time they have ever caught a fish!
