Pressing Pause

I desperately need to clear off some of the pictures from my sim card. As I look back at the last month and what else is coming up in the next few weeks I can't help but wonder who pressed the fast forward button on our lives. At the end of this crazy summer will we really have 4 kids?

Over Memorial Day we went to visit Jeffrey and Debbie in Wisconsin. I took two pictures the entire weekend. Evidence that we were too busy having fun for me to stop and click. Sometimes life is better that way. We had a blast staying up late playing games and the kids loved playing with their cousins. The Madison zoo. And here are the cousins sharing the stroller. Notice how Knightley is hanging on tight to Hannah while Bug is just relaxing.

The kids playing dress up last week. Mallie is mermaid spiderman.

And we were so glad Ben got called as Bishop of our ward on Sunday because that means we got a suprise visit from Nana and Papa! This is the only picture I took while they were here. At one point all three kids were sitting on my Dad dressing him up and poking and prodding him. Ashton and Hannah usually come straight to our room when they wake up in the morning but for the past few days Hannah would come in alone and we found Bug nestled in between Nana and Papa on their bed. The kids were playing dress up and thought Papa needed a costume.

My Mom helped me plan out a ton of camp stuff and watched the kids while I loaded my cart with 130 airheads, granolar bars, life savers etc to get ready for the hike. Then they hit the road. Saturday we had a 9-5 camp event and now I've got the next 3 days to finish planning devotionals for the all the YCLs and figuring out a way to make the hike more fun and a little spiritual without going the cheesey route.

Then on Friday one of David's best friend's is coming in with his almost fiance for the weekend. They head out on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning bright and early I head out for camp. 4 days after I get back we all board a plane to UT for 10 days which will be a much needed rest and lots of time with David. This new little girl will be here before we even catch a breath and we really wouldn't have it any other way.
