THREE?

Is the statement true "if you can have 3 kids you can have 10?"
Lately I have been mulling over when to have baby #3. There are some days when I think, "Yeah I could do 3." Then there are those days when the house is a mess, I'm a mess, nothing seems to be going well and the thought of having a 3rd sends me into a panic. For me, going from no kids to 1 was a lot harder than going from 1 to 2. However, #3 strike me as a much bigger adjustment. I know that this decision will ultimately be made through much prayer to my Heavenly Father but I just wanted to throw the question out and see what you think.

Girls of 98




Tonight we went to ClaimJumpers for our own Class of 98 reunion since the Basic High School one was cancelled. I have to say that I had more fun tonight than I have had in ages. I laughed until my stomach muscles ached. Just to recap for Holly, Sara, Mindy and Callie I enjoyed our discussions on anything and everything but here are just a few...

1. Sara and Mindy's UFC fight
2. Holly's moves in Rhiannon's Mom's Van
3. Callie and her "rap" courtesy of Dawn Hutsler (I swear you have the best memory)
4. Multiple experiences on a treadmill (Sara and 24 hour fitness and Holly)
5. My mental block (until tonight) of going to a swimming party and having my bright pink underwear held up for the world to see.

You girls are the best! It was so fun to talk about the good old days and reconnect with such great people. I'm so glad that after all these years we can get together and pick up like 10 years hasn't past. I'm sure next time we go to Claim Jumpers there will be a picture of the five of us saying "Do let them enter!" Hey, who cares if multiple people had to move because of us and we asked strangers to take pictures with 4 cameras, we had a blast!
P.S. Thank you to my wonderful hubby for watching the kids from 4:00 p.m. on and being happy to do it for me. I love you, your the best!

A little fishing, a little cougars, a lot of fun!

On Thursday we went with Matthew's brother Shaun and his wife Carilynn to spend a few days at the cabin in Pine Valley. Then on Saturday we drove all the way to Provo to watch BYU cream UCLA (Go Cougars) and then back to the cabin all in the same day. I don't recommend the drive, but we had a blast! I haven't been to a BYU game since I was pregnant with Isaac and living in Springville. It was so fun to go to the game and be back in our old stomping grounds. Ava, Jackson, and Isaac working together to catch a fish.
