Heaven or cannibal???

This morning during breakfast Lauren said "Did you know that my mouth is Heaven, because these (her cereal) are all people." Dallin responded with "No that would just make you a cannibal." Who needs a comedy channel when these kids are around.

garden goodness

I think this is the cutest baby artichoke ever. I can't believe that this is growing in our backyard.
Dallin is standing next to our nearly 6 feet tall tomato plants.

Lauren is next to our zucchini plants. They are nearly as tall as she is.

Harvest time.
We have watched our corn pop up in rowes.
Homemade ruhbarb jam. We picked the rhubarb out of the backyard, found a recipe, and mixed it up. Yum Yum.

Oh Brynn, what are we going to do with you!

Many of you know that Brynn has a nose issue. She loves the feel of things tickling her inside her nose. Well, tonight she put a Perler bead up there. Luckily Cody was able to get it out by using a crochet hook and tweezers. I hope she grows out of this soon!!!
She is really good at holding still for extractions though. (this is the second time Cody has had to lay her down and use tweezers to remove something. The first time it was a paint chip the size of my finger nail.)

I'm back, well almost.

It seems like I can't remember what feeling good feels like. Being pregnant for the 5th time has really drained me, not to mention the nausea. Just as soon as I started feeling better, I woke up with a terrible bladder infection. Yea for me. I have never had an infection like this, I have a whole new level of compassion for other sufferers. Anyway, I figure I better post an update.
Have you ever seen a diaper wedgie?
I love this shot of Dallin fishing in Wyoming.
Here is a sweet shot of our little Lauren.
Skully, Dallin, Brynn & Rolene waiting for the famous Alpine Parade.
Kenley and Grandma.
The parade lasted less than 15 minutes, but the kids filled a grocery bag full of candy and toys. Kenley got hit in the head with a sucker that left a big goose egg. They all had fun though.
The girls finally convinced Brynn to dress up with them. She looked so cute.
The mosquitoes were terrible. Even though we doubled up on bug repellent, Kenley and Lauren were attacked like they were made of pure sugar.
Kenley's bites don't show in the picture to well, but she got the most bites, and some of them swelled to the size of a silver dollar.
Lauren's big catch. She was pretty proud because she was the only one to bring in a white fish.
Kenley loved to reel the fish in, but standing next to them for pictures was not as fun for her.
Brynn loved playing with the rocks on the shoreline. She loves to be outside.
Dallin reeled in the biggest catch of the day. I forgot to pack his belt, so grandpa let him borrow the stylish red suspenders. They just added to the whole fishing experience, and the pictures are redneck priceless!
When the fishing slowed down Dallin, Lauren, Brynn, and I built some rock people.
I think he turned out pretty cute!
Pretty cute little fishing family!
The last month has been really hard on me, but I am starting to feel a bit better each day, so I am hoping to get back into the blogging routine. Maybe I will even hand the camera off once in a while so I can be in a picture or two.
We are very excited to welcome a new baby into our family in February. It will be great to find out the sex of the baby. We will be happy either way.
