Four

So um. Blog followers. I have an announcement! On April 22 my family will no longer consist of 5 people, but SIX. I am expecting my 4th and final bundle of joy. :)

Bear Lake

Our car is was only 5ft away and Syd decided she had found an optimal sand spot. She sat there all by herself and played.. Then screamed like a banshee when I put her in the car.

Bruno and I had fun running through the shallow water. Haha. Brandon and I walked him into deeper water and he can swim, but unfortunately hated it.

Insisted on wearing the Braden's life vest. Cute, huh. I caught a Daddy moment!

Check out the pot belly.

No smiles out of Braden, which is odd. I think he wanted to experiment on his poses. Sweety, I wouldn't recommend this one for your next shoot. :)

As always, its a chore to get Spence to look at the camera. Oh well.

Bear Lake was fun. Haha. I got wrong directions for the campsite, so on the way there we travelled like 30 min past our destination (Brandon will tell you it was 2hrs but don't believe him). Then the night we camped, it rained. It was only like 65 degrees on the beach here. But we played anyway, and I waded through the water. Sorry no pics of me. I wouldn't hear of it. :)

Minnetonka Cave

The cave was awesome. There was a section with very steep stairs that you could see through the slots.. I had completely forgotten how much I am scared of heights! Imagine.. in a cave being scared of heights. I was literally forcing myself to descend. Oh my gosh it was petrifying! But I did it, and I may have bruises on my knees from the knocking, but I did it by golly!

However, I wish I could've hiked without a tour-guide and group..

And while we're wishing.. a tripod would've been nice too. (Note the blurriness)

Spencer decided that needed to leave his mark in the cave.. A pee puddle. We toileted the animals before we descended into the cave, and Syd held it.. However my wonderful Spence filled his shoes and spilled the rest onto the cave floor. So much for maintaining a fragile ecosystem. Joys of children. (Can you see his pee trail on his pants?)!

Echo Lake

We went to Echo lake with Ryan and Amber. It was a blast. Here is Syd's first boat and intertube ride..

So much fun!

Spencer wouldn't let me take a picture of him. Pest.

Amber jumped in to cool off and Syd climbed right to the back of the boat and jumped right to her! My little daredevil.

Braden is cute.

Unfortunately Brandon and I are in sore need of tans. Haha. This was on the boat.

Spence is 6!

Happy 6th Birthday Spence. This picture is SO you! Thank you Drew and Hayden for the bionicle. Awesome.

We took the kids to kangaroo zoo. It was incredibly fun, but fyi if you obsess about where the kids are every second.. maybe it's not the place for you. Absolutely fun, impossible to keep track of all the kids on all the bounce houses. To Kangaroo Zoo: I recommend matching stamp numbers for parents and children!

Here's the Birthday BOY! (Notice the socks. HAHA. I didn't until Lamon pointed them out to me). Yes, we're white trash. No, I don't need someone to buy Spence new socks. Haha. He's a little Shrek, this one.. He likes his big toe hanging out.
Syd is so cute. Thats all I have to say.

I think all and all Spence had a grand bday! We had cupcakes, gifts and fun galore. I was VERY disappointed because I didn't use a fast enough shutter speed for the amount of activity going on. Most of my pictures turned out blurry. Dang. Oops. Shameful.

Road Rage hilarity

This is absolutely hilarious!! I had to steal it from a friend's blog (Thanks Emily)!
