Saturday, I was able to join my parents and all siblings not serving missions ;) for the Fort Collins LDS Temple open house. Such a wonderful and beautiful building. IT was great to be there with the people I grew up with.
After the temple, we girls ditched the boys and did some shopping (shoes! jewelry!) and then visited my Great-Uncle Jerre and Great-Aunt Jean. IT was great to see them! Finally, we stopped at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse for a little Wizard of Oz action. Such a fun day! Picture documentation was sorely lacking from most activities.
To finish off our Labor Day weekend, we went camping at the ranch. Getting a fire started was the first task.
We had lots of fun on the 4-wheelers! Easton reluctantly wears the pink helmet as it is the only way he can ride on his own. Brynlee was tired and slept on Ronnie's machine for 20 minutes as we drove back to camp.
Our 4-wheeling destination at the ranch today was Quartz Hill which, as you may assume, is a hill completely covered in quartz stones. We have never taken the kids there before (I didn't even know it existed until last fall) and their reactions did not disappoint. They would run from shiny and glittery stone to shiny and glittery stone exclaiming and squealing as they went. Luckily we had a limited amount of saddle bag room for transportation of treasures or Kendree would have Brough the entire hill. Added bonus: sighting a massive mossed int he girls camp on our way (blurry picture due to distance from said moose).
Brynlee spends at last 30 minutes a day looking through our @chatbooks. They are worth every single penny.
37 weeks! The strangers have started stopping me in the store to ask how much longer I have, so I must look ready to be done. So far, no random belly touches though, so ask away, I say! My favorite is when they assume that Brynlee is my oldest and this is my second and then I tell them this is my 5th. The looks are gold. Pure gold.
One of the dang cats climbed up inside the car somewhere (axle?) and rode the entire way to my doctor appointment this afternoon. We heard her meows when we to out in the parking lot, coaxed her out and left her in the car. Devynee got to snuggle her for the ride back home. I still can't quite believe I actually have cats.
Finished one quite for each gender. These everyday quilt are washed, folded and ready. Next on to the milky blankets and then "special" quilts.
38 weeks. Still feeling remarkable well. Baby is so active it makes me a little worried about what things are going to be like outside my belly.
Minky blankest and loves for both genders. (that turtle fabric has me hoping for a boy.)
The boys headed to Utah this morning for the BYU game so we are having a "girl party" today. Soccer games in the morning, a trip to our amazing library and a little movie and popcorn time this afternoon. (This is the FIRST time Brynlee has ever sat for any amount of time in front of the tv. I am positive I will be unable to replicate it without her bigs sisters around new week). #ijustwant20minutestomyself
Sometimes, you craft it up with a good friend and your projects turn out even cuter than you hoped.
The boy "special" [read: bedding matching] quilt is complete. The bedding itself has been done for FIVE years (since I was pregnant with Devynee). To be honest, I didn't even think I'd get this far on my to-do list so I don't have the fabric purchased yet for the girl bedding/quilt. Looks like I know what I'm doing this week.
A little seesaw action while the other two kids have soccer practice.
Baby girl "special" quilt is done! I am in love with it, so if this baby is not a girl, we may need to have a girl pronto. ;)
Devynee got new bigger pinker glasses today and is thrilled!
Baby GIRL has arrived! Hallee (middle name TBD) Lopez. 2:59 p.m. 7 lbs. 8 oz. 19 inches (Short "a" sound)
